Electrical Service Questions

What causes outlets to stop working?

If an outlet dies, check the breaker and any nearby GFCIs. If it still won’t reset—or it’s warm or discolored—schedule a safety check to prevent further damage.

How can I improve energy efficiency in my home?

Upgrade to LED lighting, add smart switches or timers, and ensure your wiring and panel support modern loads. A quick assessment can uncover wasted power and recommend targeted upgrades.

Do I need a 120V or 240V outlet, and what is the difference?

Standard 120V outlets power everyday devices. 240V delivers higher power for dryers, ovens, EV chargers, or some HVAC equipment. We’ll verify the appliance spec, wiring, and panel capacity before installation.

Why do I need GFCI outlets in certain areas of my home?

Code requires GFCIs in wet zones to reduce shock risk. We install and test GFCIs to keep kitchens, baths, and outdoor areas safe and compliant.
