Electrical questions, answered by experts

A correctly functioning outlet will not cause a fire risk if nothing is plugged in. However, if the circuit is overloaded or there is a fault with the outlet, the connecting wiring, or the circuit it is attached to, this can lead to the risk of fire or electrocution, even when nothing is plugged in. Turn off the circuit breaker immediately and seek professional assistance if you suspect a fault.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician, you should not DIY any electrical work in your home. Working with wires and electricity is potentially dangerous to both you and the structure you’re working on, and it could lead to house fires or electric shock if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing. There’s a big difference between changing a light switch cover and rewiring an entire home. If you’re staring down a potentially difficult electrical job, give a pro a call.

The easiest way to calculate how many outlets and lights you can have on your circuit is to put one outlet per 1½ amps and then multiply the total amps by 80% to account for your circuit breaker’s max capacity. If you have a 15-amp circuit, that means you can have up to eight outlets or lights. If you have a 20-amp circuit, you can have up to 10 outlets.

The common, marked as COM or C, is one of the terminals found in your light switch. It houses the live wire that supplies the input voltage. The other terminals, marked as L1 or L2, are the outputs to the light fixtures. Depending on if you have a one-way or two-way switch, you’ll either have just an L1 terminal or both an L1 and L2 terminal.

You should always turn off a breaker whenever electrical work is being done. This step can prevent electrical shock and injury. Also, if a breaker is repeatedly tripping, it can mean there is an electrical overload, and it should be shut off. You should contact an electrician to figure out the cause. Make sure to review how to turn off your circuit breaker safely if you do it yourself, and follow safety precautions to avoid severe injuries.
