"At 4:00 AM, February 4, 2017, my family was awakened by the fire of my entire circuit box. The light, smell, and crackling of burning circuits from the flames woke me up. I grabbed a fire extinguisher that I reluctantly paid for at Wal-Mart (Kidd brand) for around $50 from the kitchen pantry about 2 months ago, put it out before the drywall caught completely on fire, and had my son call 911 to report the incident. At 7:45 AM I went to Home Advisor and found these guys from Abbeville, called them, and they kept in touch with me by cell phone and showed up within an hour. They replaced the entire circuit box and even came back the following Monday to check and label each breaker to its location. They charged me $1300 total, which was $300 over my insurance company's $1000 deductible, so I won't be filing a claim. I'll fix the drywall myself. They went into the attic to check the wiring and later that same day before dark, we had power again. I highly recommend these guys for electrical service, as it is hard to find a reliable electrician in lower middle Georgia that won't rip you off. The guys are personable, polite, and will even put up with the barking of the two mutt dogs we adopted. They do a jam-up job, and I have FINALLY found electricians I can trust. Believe me, I know. Now to find a plumber who won't rip me off."

"The workman was definitely worthy of his hire. This gentleman not only solved my problem but advised me on how not to make it worse before he could arrive to fix it. Very fast service, very professional, was willing to teach me How to do it as he fixed the problem. Had very friendly conversation and exact knowledge on the job at hand. Felt like I was in a hands on electrical workshop at my own home. It inspired me to learn electrical handling. I’d call Jehi services again and again and also HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services to family and friends."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

Provided you leave the switch in the off position, your broken bulb shouldn’t be drawing any power. However, there’s always the risk that the switch is turned on by accident, potentially causing electrical damage or even a fire. Plus, broken glass in the home is never ideal. For safety, it’s a good idea to remove broken bulbs as soon as possible. If you’re in doubt, a local lighting professional can help you remove the bulb safely and quickly.

Grounding an electrical outlet can take as little as 30 minutes if you only need to replace the outlet or around two hours if you need to add a ground wire. However, more extensive electrical work will take longer, such as hiring an electrician to ground multiple outlets during the same service.

GFCI outlets should be clearly labeled with LINE and LOAD labels, with arrows leading to the proper terminals. The line terminals are typically at the top, and the load terminals are typically at the bottom.

Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.
