"Andy and his crew are the best of the best when it comes to electricians. They have done numerous jobs for us, including the installation of our entryway light, which hangs from a 20ft vault. They are punctual, professional and personable. I would highly recommend Andy and crew. We will, without a doubt, call Creekside again when needed."

"Great communication and my 100 amp FPE panel was upgraded to a 200 amp Siemens panel in a few hours. Other code required work done too: external disconnect box for fire dept if ever needed, bonding panel to house’s input water pipe, bonding to 2 external ground rods, whole house surge protector …. Bid was about 25% below two other bids. Won the lottery with MBI Electric."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Outlets do wear out, usually within 15-25 years, but they can fail even sooner than that —sometimes in a matter of years. If your plugs always slide out after you put them in, this is a sign your outlets need to be replaced. Additionally, if your outlets are damaged, cracked, discolored, or regularly tripping the circuit breaker, they may be at the end of their life.

Schedule regular inspections, clean fixtures, and replace worn-out components promptly.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

No, it is not safe to use an outlet that sparked. A spark from an outlet could indicate a short circuit, loose or frayed wiring, or other serious damage. Continuing to use an outlet that sparks can increase the risk of electrical shock, electrical fires, and other hazards. It's important to turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker if possible and avoid using the outlet until a licensed electrician has inspected and repaired it.
