FAQs

What types of electrical outlets are available for residential use in Maryville?

In Maryville, the most common types of electrical outlets for residential use include standard 120-volt outlets, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for areas near water sources, AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for enhanced safety, and 240-volt outlets for high-power appliances such as dryers and ovens.

How often should I inspect or replace electrical outlets in my home?

It's advisable to inspect your electrical outlets at least once a year. Look for signs of wear, damage, or discoloration. If you notice any issues, such as sparking, burning smells, or loose connections, the outlets should be replaced immediately by a qualified electrician to ensure safety.

Are GFCI outlets required in specific areas of my home?

Yes, GFCI outlets are required in areas where electrical circuits might come into contact with water. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, laundry rooms, and outdoor outlets. Their main function is to protect you from electrical shock by shutting off the power if a ground fault is detected.

What should I do if an outlet stops working?

If an outlet stops working, first check if it’s a GFCI outlet and press the reset button. If the outlet still doesn’t work or it’s not a GFCI type, check your circuit breaker to ensure it hasn’t tripped. If both are in order and the outlet remains non-functional, it’s best to contact a certified electrician to diagnose and fix the problem.

How can I childproof my electrical outlets?

To childproof your electrical outlets, use outlet covers or safety plugs that can prevent children from inserting objects into the outlets. You can also install tamper-resistant outlets, which have a built-in shutter mechanism that blocks foreign objects unless equal pressure is applied to both slots, as with a proper plug.

What are the signs that I need to upgrade my electrical outlets?

Signs that indicate you may need to upgrade your electrical outlets include frequent tripping of circuit breakers, outlets that feel warm or have scorch marks, plugs that fit loosely in the outlets, or an insufficient number of outlets causing over-reliance on power strips and extension cords. Upgrading can enhance safety and ensure your electrical system meets current standards and demands.

Extremely pleased with the speed of the service! Adam Foust came out to the house about an hour after I had scheduled an appointment to look at some plugs that quit working in my garage. Then within the next hour he had me up and running again. If you have electrical needs I suggest you contact HEP and request Adam. He's very smart and very efficient. I couldn't be more pleased.

Just used HEP again for some electrical issues....Ric was great, informative and had a resolution to our issues quickly!!! Thanks Ric and HEP for another outstanding job...... I have used HEP pretty frequently this year for various jobs that I needed help with in a home I was selling and now in a new home recently purchased. HEP was on the way when I needed a repair for a leaky toilet, installation of a new range hood, installation of 2 garbage disposals for 2 kitchens, electrical outlets installed for the 2 garbage disposals, conversion of a fuse box to a circuit breaker and next week they will be coming to repair/replace my A/C unit. Why do I keep coming back to them? No doubt because HEP is on the way anytime I need them. Their techs are knowledgeable and just get the job done. I most definitely will keep using them in the future!

On October 4, 2023, an electrician (Joshua Butler) from HEP Inc. arrived promptly and provided his expertise and experience to install a whole house surge protector and replace a few inoperable electrical outlets. His services were flawless, and he completed the assigned tasks on time. Lastly, Joshua adequately disposed of all waste generated. Job well done, and mega-thanks!
