"My husband with Alzheimer’s can usually change a light switch but while doing the one in the bathroom couldn’t get it. I put an urgent message on Angie’s list and Terry from Zap electric gave me a call in a few minutes. He came and fixed the switch in 20 minutes. He was knowledgeable and so nice. He gave us a senior discount. A bathroom light is a must and he saved me that day. Please call him of you need any electrical!"

"I had an excellent experience with Austin — he called me within 10 minutes of submitting my request on Angi’s List. He arrived at my home within half an hour and got straight to work converting an old cable outlet into a new electrical outlet in my living room. The job was done quickly, cleanly, and exactly as requested. I also asked him to rewire my current outlet so it wouldn’t be controlled by a wall switch, and he handled that with no problem. He was prompt, professional, friendly, and genuinely happy to help — highly recommend!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s recommended that you test GFCI outlets monthly with the test and reset buttons. At minimum, you should test GFCI outlets when entering a new season, or every three months. These are important home safety features that you should ensure work properly.

Yes, you can run an above-ground electrical conduit and stay within National Electrical Code safety guidelines. Just make sure you check the code requirements of your project with the local building regulations office. You should work with a local electrician to complete this type of project due to the personal safety hazards.

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.

No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.

If a light switch is off, it’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.
