"Well, the Artie and Austin were not able to find the problem, however, we have used them in the past and cannot find fault with their promptness and professionalism. They are coming back to see if the problem can be identified. We will continue to use them for any electrical issues that arise. The office staff, Celia, in particular, gave us some trouble shooting ideas that may identify the issue before the scheduled return visit. We are keeping our fingers crossed."

"I got new lines put through because if I used one outlet in the bathroom and the kitchen outlet at the same time, something blew. So they did all of that. They were very good. I thought it was very reasonable. I liked everything about them, they were great. My interaction with them was very good, easy, marvelous. They did everything for me. They understood what was wrong and took care of it for us. They knew what I wanted and did it. The work they did turned out perfect."

"TriCat is very professional, clean, and prompt. Angelo is great and knows exactly what needs to be done. Their prices are also fair and comparable to other electricians in my area. The job was done on time. This is very important when trying to keep the renovations on schedule. I would definitely recommend them to a family or friend, and use them again myself."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.

Burnt outlets can be caused by things such as faulty wiring, loose connections, or a circuit overload—and yes, they are extremely dangerous. If you notice your outlet is hot or has burn marks, you should shut off the power to it from the circuit breaker and immediately call an electrician.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.

A blinking, or twinkle, bulb makes Christmas lights blink. Usually, this type of bulb has a silver or red tip, making it easily distinguishable from other non-blinking bulbs. Most packages of Christmas lights come with additional blinking and non-blinking bulbs. Additional bulbs can be purchased at a hardware store or online retailer.

A standard three-prong electrical outlet typically lasts for about 15 years with normal use and should be replaced accordingly. GFCI outlets may have a longer lifespan of 15 to 25 years. While some outlets can last longer if used infrequently, they can also fail prematurely. Reasons for early failure include poor wiring, an overloaded circuit, improper grounding or installation, or loose plugs. Signs that an outlet is failing include flickering lights, overheating, a discolored or melted faceplate, plugs that fall out easily, or frequently tripping circuit breakers. It is essential to address faulty outlets promptly to avoid safety hazards, especially in homes older than 15 years.
