"We hired LogicLamp to replace our old exterior pole lights with LEDs, and we?re so glad we did! The team was friendly, and professional, and took the time to explain the options. The new lights look fantastic?brighter, cleaner, and more energy-efficient. It?s made a noticeable difference in the look of our property and energy bills. We?re really happy with the whole process and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to make the switch to LED!"

"I don't know about you, but starting a remodeling job was very scary to me UNTIL I met MDH Buiders and David Mizrahi and his workers. From our first meeting he asured me (I'm a strong willed senior citizen) he would guide me and not let me make any mistakes. We had discussions until we came to an agreement as to what would be the best for me and my home, and he did not disappoint. My master bathroom turned out more beautiful than expected and was FINISHED on time, even with a couple hiccups of getting supplies along the way. Because of my wonderful experience with MDH Builders, I have decided to jump into remodeling again after the 1st of the year and redo my kitchen. Dianne E."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.

When installing an outdoor outlet, it's important to proceed with caution. Unless you have the necessary training and licensure, it's not recommended to attempt this DIY. First, choose a suitable location. Make sure that the area can accommodate the outlet without overloading the circuit. You'll also need to ensure that your project complies with building codes. Next, turn off the power to the circuit, then install and wire the outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the outlet is in place, test it. Lastly, be sure to use a cover that will protect it from moisture and other weather-related damage.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

There are several things to try to repair a broken outlet. Whether it's fixable or not may depend on the problem and the type of outlet itself. Start by testing the circuit with an electrical tester and ensuring the breaker switch to the circuit functions as it should. Loose wires are sometimes the culprit and are repairable by fixing the connections. 

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
