FAQs

What types of electrical outlets are commonly used in Gatlinburg homes?

In Gatlinburg homes, you'll commonly find standard 120-volt outlets for general use, as well as 240-volt outlets for larger appliances such as dryers and ovens. These outlets often include safety features like grounding and tamper-resistant mechanisms to ensure electrical safety.

How can I tell if an electrical outlet needs to be replaced?

Signs that an electrical outlet needs to be replaced include noticeable damage such as cracks or burns, loose connections where the plug doesn't stay secure, and outlets that feel warm to the touch. Additionally, if you notice sparks or hear buzzing noises, it's a good idea to have the outlet inspected and potentially replaced by a professional electrician.

What is a GFCI outlet, and why is it important for certain areas in my home?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet is designed to protect against electrical shock by automatically shutting off power if it detects an imbalance between incoming and outgoing current. GFCI outlets are especially important in areas with high moisture levels, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces, where the risk of electrical shock is higher.

Can I install new electrical outlets myself, or should I hire a professional?

While it's possible for a knowledgeable homeowner to install new outlets, hiring a licensed electrician is highly recommended. Electrical work involves specific safety protocols and local code requirements that professionals are trained to follow. Improper installation can lead to serious hazards including electrical fires and personal injury.

How can I child-proof my electrical outlets?

To child-proof your electrical outlets, you can use tamper-resistant receptacles (TRRs) which have built-in shutters that block foreign objects unless equal pressure is applied to both slots simultaneously. Alternatively, you can use plastic outlet covers or sliding outlet covers that prevent children from inserting objects into the sockets.

What should I do if an electrical outlet stops working in my Gatlinburg home?

If an electrical outlet stops working, first check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses in your electrical panel. If the breakers and fuses are intact, try resetting any GFCI outlets in the same circuit, as they might have tripped. If the outlet still doesn't work, it's advisable to contact a professional electrician to diagnose and repair the issue to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and functional.

We had a couple of wall outlets go out and Josh diagnosed the problem and fixed it quickly. He also got us a quote for a bigger job and got us in contact for financing. We couldn't be happier and more at ease.
