Q: Can you close off a fireplace?

• <div><p>Yes, you can close off a fireplace both temporarily and permanently with extremely wide price ranges. Temporary solutions involve fireplace plugs that can be inflated to block air and deflated to open the fireplace, covers, and boards. Permanent methods of shutting off fireplaces usually involve bricking up the fireplace or covering it with drywall. No matter the method, it&rsquo;s probably best to hire a professional.</p></div>

Q: Are USB/USB-C outlets fire hazards?

• <div><p>Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-prevent-electrical-fires.htm">electrical fire hazard</a>, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping. </p></div>

Q: Can a bad light switch cause a fire if the light switch is off?

• <div><p>If a light switch is off, it&rsquo;s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.</p></div>

Q: Is a spark arrestor the same as a chimney cap?

• <div><p>A spark arrestor is not the same as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-install-chimney-cap.htm">chimney cap</a>. Both sit on the top of the chimney. However, the cap keeps debris from entering the chimney, and the spark arrestor&rsquo;s primary function is to prevent burning embers from escaping. Some spark arrestors are integrated into the chimney cap, and others are installed separately. </p></div>
