Electrical questions, answered by experts

To determine if an electrical outlet is blown, look for visible signs of damage, like burn marks or melted plastic. If not, try plugging in a few different devices to confirm that the outlet is not working. You can also use a voltage tester or multimeter to check for power—a no-reading means there's an issue. Lastly, check your circuit breaker or fuse box to see if the outlet was tripped, and if so, reset it. If none of this works, you may need to replace your outlet.

Outlets should not be installed face-up on countertops, directly over bathtubs, sinks, or near showers. They also should not be installed near heating sources such as radiators, heaters, or heat-producing appliances. Consult a local electrician before installing a new outlet to ensure the location complies with local and national safety regulations.

Most hot tubs use between 1,500 watts and 6,000 watts of electricity, depending on the voltage of your heater. 120-volt heaters tip toward the low end, and 240-volt heaters tip toward the high end. Expect your pump to add another 1,500 watts. Newer, energy-efficient models use less electricity, while older models use more.

No, because amps and volts measure very different things. However, you can use basic equations to find amps or volts by using data about one of the measurements to calculate the other.

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.
