Switches & Outlets FAQs
Do I need GFCI protection in my kitchen and bathrooms?
Yes. GFCI is required in wet areas (kitchens, baths, laundry, garage, outdoors). We’ll install and test it to code.
Can you add an outlet where none exists?
Usually yes. We’ll evaluate access, route wiring neatly, and add a properly sized box and device.
Why does my outlet spark when I plug in?
Small contact arcs are normal; large sparks, heat, or buzzing indicate a worn device or loose connection. We’ll diagnose and replace as needed.
What’s a tamper-resistant (TR) outlet?
TR outlets have internal shutters that help prevent object insertion — now standard for most living spaces.
Can you replace my two-prong outlets with three-prong?
Often yes, with proper grounding or GFCI with labels where grounding isn’t available. We’ll propose the compliant option.
Will smart switches work with my lights?
Usually — we’ll confirm neutral/C-wire needs and match the control to your LED driver to avoid flicker and drop-outs.
