Barry did an excellent job installing an outside waterproof inlet outlet that ran through a brick/cinder block wall to an electrical panel where he installed an interlock kit for my portable generator. The quality of his work was excellent and I highly recommend using B&Z Electric.

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

Short circuits can cause fires, electrical burns, and electrocution, which can lead to serious injury or even death. That’s why it’s important to take preventative measures to prevent short circuits, like getting annual electrical maintenance and an electrical inspection every two to five years, depending on the age of your home.

An outlet can start a fire if it has blown a fuse, or is sparking, overheating, or smells burnt. Prevent electrical fires by unplugging the device connected to the outlet and hiring an electrician to determine and fix the outlet’s issue. If the outlet stays hot or isn't working, you should fix it.

DIY cleaning is possible, but professionals ensure thorough soot removal and check for hazardous creosote buildup.

It’s technically possible in some areas to install your own fire suppression system, but it’s usually not a good idea. Your system must conform to the fire code in your area and will need to pass a rigorous inspection before being activated and deemed safe. Installing a fire suppression system is a complicated job, and making mistakes as a DIYer is likely. Those mistakes can cause you to fail your inspection, which means you’ll have to spend more time fixing the issues or money to have a certified plumber do the work for you. It’s best to hire a professional.

Costs depend on system type, building size, labor, and regulatory compliance requirements.
