"Oscar put in a ceiling box light in my guest bathroom over my tub/ shower, when the shower curtain was closed before, there was much light inside, curtain was blocking light's from my vanity...but now Oscar fixed that for me, I have a bright LED light overhead of my tub/ shower! I am very thrilled to have this and Oscar and his helper did a great job, very professional, friendly, reasonably priced and cleaned up inside the tub and surroundings of any debri that came from their working. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oscar Aviles Electric LLC for any electrical jobs, I have already discussed with him about doing another small job next week, putting in a LED light in the ceiling of my pantry. And in the future I will have him to come back again to put in more box ceiling lights in my kitchen ceiling to replace a ceiling fixture. I have uploaded a picture from his work today! Thank You and your helper Oscar!! Sharon Carroll Archdale, N.C."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

Yes. Even when it’s not in use, an outlet is still connected to wiring, and if the wiring is faulty or wet, a fire can occur. Broken outlets can also cause fires, for the same reasons; in fact, most broken outlets are broken due to damaged or worn-out wiring. It’s worth replacing outlets that are old or damaged with the help of an electrician.

Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an electrical fire hazard, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping.

There are many signs it is time to replace an electrical panel, starting with flickering lights. Other tell-tale signals include overheating appliances, light fixtures that cause an electric shock, hissing or crackling from the breaker box, burned or blackened spots near the breaker box, and breakers that trip whenever activating power-hungry appliances like microwaves.

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.
