Questions

FAQs

Where are GFCI outlets required?

Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, crawlspaces, laundry areas, outdoors and anywhere near a sink. If your California home predates the requirement, adding them is quick and inexpensive.

Can you add an outlet where there is nothing?

Yes. Most rooms can take an extra outlet with no visible damage, fed from a nearby circuit or a new dedicated one where the load requires it.

Why does my outlet feel warm?

A warm or discoloured receptacle means a poor connection making heat, usually a back-stabbed wire or a worn contact. Stop using it and call (888) 592-6466 — this is one of the more common starting points for electrical fires.

What is a dedicated circuit and do I need one?

It is a circuit serving one appliance only. Microwaves, dishwashers, window AC units, freezers, space heaters and workshop tools all benefit, and some are required to have one.
