"I came to know Obez Electrical through a friend's referral back in.2016. Bryant presented himself very confident, professional, well communicative and so organized! The year 2016's project was to split 2nd unit in a multifamily setting with a separate electrical pamel, rewiring the entire unit, Bryant responded my service calls whenever there is a need, that's why whenever I need eletrical work, my 1st instinct is reaching out Bryant first. This year 2023 the past week I need electrical work in a new bathroom, with permit and it needs pass town inspection. Bryant was able to get through the challenges, cuz sometimes while on the job running the wires inside the walls, electrician could be presented with a variety of problems. Bryant has strong problem solving skills on site, being attentive to detail. Bryant has very good time management. He performed the job quickly, along with good planning skills, pretty much the same time as he first came to estimate the job. Needless to mention that Bryant is so patient and he educated me the electrical codes, which gave me a clear picture of what the requirements are amd how to comply with, I believe when next week I go to town and talk to the town electrical subcode official, we can be on the same page and talk in the same language, highly appreciated! Sincerely wish Bryant big success with his ecpanding business in commercial and residential. He can definitely charm you with his superior expertise! Look no further! I endorse him! If you need further details before you hire him, I can always be reached at [email protected] Residential lamdlord, Boonton Township, Bianca Zong"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Electrical codes require GFCI outlets in areas where ground faults are more common, usually around water. That includes garages, kitchen counters, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. All of these require at least one GFCI outlet in the room, and some codes require every outlet in a specific area to be GFCI.

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.

The size of the microwave you choose may change this answer, but for standard over-the-range microwaves, 120 volts and a three-prong grounded outlet is needed for your device.

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

Outlets with only two slots have no ground connection. That’s more common on very old outlets, which means it’s more likely the outlet won’t be polarized. You’ll have to closely examine the slots to see if there’s a size difference indicating polarization. Keep in mind outlets this old are usually out of code and should be replaced if you’re doing any electrical work.
