Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. In some cases, a certified electrician will send an apprentice or journeyman that works underneath them, but the primary electrician still needs to hold the proper license. Without an electrical contracting license, your professional won’t be able to pull the proper permits for your project. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm that an electrician you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. Don’t forget to verify the electrician’s insurance coverage and any third-party certifications before hiring.

Yes, you can put a GFCI outlet in almost any electrical outlet location. As long as the outlet is wired correctly back to a circuit breaker, you can likely replace the existing outlet with a GFCI outlet.

Wiring can last anywhere from 50 to 70 years, but all kinds of mishaps can occur that reduce the lifespan of your electrical wiring, including severe weather conditions, pests, and even faulty wiring. Keeping a preventative maintenance scheduling and hiring an electrician for an annual electrical inspection will keep your wiring system around for as long as possible.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

Yes, you can plug outdoor lights into an extension cord, but it must be one rated for outdoor use. This method will allow you to hang Christmas lights outside your house or yard by connecting it to an outdoor power source. Be sure to purchase and use an outdoor-only extension cord.
