"I highly recommend Paragon Electric. Clint, the owner, was very responsive with calls and texts prior to the service call, and was thorough and knowledgeable. He explained his analysis of the electrical problem beautifully, answered questions and utilized his time well within the service call period, which included a run to a local store for an atypical breaker. Thanks Clint!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"We are renovating a former rental, and while replacing the electrical outlets and switches lost power to half the house.  We had used JM3 before and had a good experience, so we called late in the afternoon on a Thursday and made an appointment for 8:30 Monday morning. The technician rang the doorbell at 8:31. He quickly got to work checking all of the outlets and switches - whether we had changed them out or not. He madeaking corrections as he went. He even identified problems in places we hadn't worked on yet!

"They determined it was not the dryer, but the electrical source. They thought maybe the circuit breaker, but it turned out to be the receptical for the plug. Great electrician recommended by them!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, yes, a wall outlet can just go bad. You could’ve purchased a faulty outlet, had it improperly installed, or just blown a fuse in your home. Regardless of what caused the issue, it’s important for you to hire the right professional for this job so they can get it done right the first time.

There are several things to try to repair a broken outlet. Whether it's fixable or not may depend on the problem and the type of outlet itself. Start by testing the circuit with an electrical tester and ensuring the breaker switch to the circuit functions as it should. Loose wires are sometimes the culprit and are repairable by fixing the connections. 

Yes, you can daisy chain outlets, which involves connecting multiple outlets in series. However, ensuring the circuit can handle the additional load is important to avoid overloading and tripping the breaker. The total number of outlets on a single circuit should not exceed the recommended limit, typically eight on a 15-amp circuit. Hiring a licensed electrician is always advisable for complex installations or if you're unsure of what to do.

GFCI outlets should be clearly labeled with LINE and LOAD labels, with arrows leading to the proper terminals. The line terminals are typically at the top, and the load terminals are typically at the bottom.

Some portable cooktops are compatible with standard 120-volt outlets, but most induction (and electric) ranges and stoves need a dedicated 220- or 240-volt circuit and 40 to 50 amps to work. If you are replacing an old electric range with an induction one, you likely already have the proper outlet, but it’s worth checking with a local appliance installation company.
