"I had 3 outlets that didn't work and needed an outside outlet installed for landscaping lights. Caleb was prompt and efficient. I normally don't go with the lowest bid, but Caleb's knowledge was evident so I gave it a go. I am so very glad I did! The job was performed with great care and done right. I will call The Plug Electrical for any future electrical needs I have."

"The cabinet and cooktop had to be removed for them to access the wiring to install a three prong plug-in for my new slide in range. They tore the cabinet out, removed it from the kitchen, and after the electrical supply was secured they leveled the range properly and also carried out the non-functioning electric oven from the wall. They save me so much grief of finding someone who would demo the cabinets and Carrie the heavy oven out of the kitchen. I feel they went above and beyond to install my new stove. I will always use them for my electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

GFCI outlets help prevent dangers from ground faults that can cause shocks. This is a different issue that a ground circuit can’t fully address. It’s best to use GFCI outlets combined with ground circuits for complete protection for you and your electronics.

While washers and dryers do not require a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet to function properly, electrical codes often mandate their use for safety. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCI protection for all outlets within six feet of a water source. This means a washer and dryer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet if they are installed in locations like a laundry room, utility room, garage, or basement. In other areas without a nearby water source, there is no specific requirement, but using a GFCI outlet is still recommended for extra peace of mind. It is always best to consult your local codes and regulations to ensure compliance and safety.

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.
