"I hired Ken Johnson (Johnson Electric) to correct a number of electrical problems which were identified in a pre-sale home inspection. Among these was a replacement of an unsafe old circuit panel, all new power outlets, conduits and receptacles. Ken provided a quote which was very reasonable. Actual work was performed by two technicians. They arrived on time, completed the job the same day, and left the site in pristine conditioner. We were very satisfied with their work and based on my experience I am happy to recommend Johnson Electric for quality electrical projects in your residence."

"I would definitely recommend All Services Electrical. They are very knowledgeable and thorough in their work. Nothing got overlooked! They were very professional and clean. They installed some fans, some light fixtures and fixed sone electrical outlets that were not working properly. I am very happy with the work they did. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would give them more. Excellent job!!"

"We hired Instinct Electric (Alonzo) to install a new 220V line for our Heat Pump Water Heater. He delivered outstanding work at a very fair price. He even made an unscheduled stop after hours to complete the electrical connection after the water heater was installed. Excellent communication throughout the process. Installation (including electrical) passed city inspection first time. Thank you, Alonzo!"

"I recently had an electrician install an EV plug in my garage for my Tesla Model Y, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was the first to contact me and even came out right away to assess the job, which gave me confidence from the start. Others contacted me, but none of them took the time to come and evaluate everything in person. The electrician arrived on time for the installation, explained everything clearly, and made sure the work was done up to code. The job was clean and neatly finished, no messy wires or unnecessary holes. He also tested the outlet with me to confirm proper charging before leaving. My Tesla charges perfectly now, and I have peace of mind knowing it was done safely and correctly. Pricing was fair for the quality of work, and he was very knowledgeable about EV charging requirements. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to add an EV plug at home or any Electrical projects you have."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

GFCI outlets generally need to be replaced every 7 to 15 years, though some may fail in as little as 5 years, depending on usage. It is important to test them regularly. Signs that a GFCI outlet is failing or has reached the end of its lifespan include: no power coming from the outlet, the outlet not resetting when the 'reset' button is pressed, or the outlet not tripping when the 'test' button is pressed. If you notice any of these issues, it is time to replace the outlet, and it's best to contact an electrician to do so.

Installing a circuit breaker is best handled by a local professional electrician. This project requires following strict electrical codes, and might even involve permits. Not only can electrical work be dangerous, but without the proper training that a pro will have, you could cause further damage to your home’s electrical system.

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.
