FAQs
What types of electrical outlets do you install?
We install a variety of electrical outlets to meet your needs, including standard 120-volt outlets, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms, USB outlets for easy charging of electronic devices, and specialized 240-volt outlets for appliances like dryers and electric car chargers.
How do I know if my home's outlets need upgrading?
You should consider upgrading your outlets if you notice signs of wear such as cracked faces, discoloration, or loose plugs. Older two-prong outlets should be upgraded to grounded three-prong outlets for safety. Frequent tripping of circuit breakers, a buzzing sound, or warm outlets are indicators of electrical issues that require professional attention.
Why are GFCI outlets important, and do I need them in my home?
GFCI outlets are crucial for preventing electric shocks in areas where water is present, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor settings. They instantly cut off the power when a ground fault is detected. It's recommended by electrical codes to have GFCI protection in these areas to ensure safety.
Can you convert my existing outlets to USB or smart outlets?
Yes, we can upgrade your existing outlets to include USB ports, which allow for direct charging of electronic devices without the need for adapters. We also install smart outlets that can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps, enhancing convenience and energy efficiency.
What should I do if my outlets are not working?
First, check if the circuit breaker has tripped or if the outlet is controlled by a wall switch that may have been turned off. Reset the circuit breaker or flip the switch on. If the outlet is still not working, it could be a sign of a wiring issue or faulty outlet that requires professional assessment and repair.
How often should I have my electrical outlets inspected?
It's advisable to have your electrical outlets inspected by a professional every 3-5 years, especially in older homes, or if you experience any issues such as frequent tripping circuit breakers or flickering lights. Regular inspections ensure that your electrical system operates safely and efficiently.
