"Recently moved to SC and needed a RV power outlet installed. I had previously called and received an estimate(s) from another electrician. I had some knowledge of what was needed for the job, so I felt the first estimates for the other company was a bit too high (quotes ranged from $2800-5800). Then I called Pete. He came out, examined what needed to be done and gave an honest estimate. He was professional, polite and most of all HONEST. I hired him to do the work. In a few days (due to holiday) he came back and completed the job. There were some issues that created more work than what was originally thought, but Pete made sure everything was hooked up correctly and working before he left. He never charged for the extra work and only charge his original estimate (which was under what the other company wanted to charge). I would recommend this company and Pete Justice for any electrical needs in the area. He is honest and trustworthy and does a great job! Thank you Just Electric!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches often result from loose wiring, exposed connections, or other electrical problems that can cause overheating or sparking. Warning signs include crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when you flip the switch, which indicates live electricity that could ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, immediately turn off the power at the circuit breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

While washers and dryers do not require a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet to function properly, electrical codes often mandate their use for safety. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCI protection for all outlets within six feet of a water source. This means a washer and dryer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet if they are installed in locations like a laundry room, utility room, garage, or basement. In other areas without a nearby water source, there is no specific requirement, but using a GFCI outlet is still recommended for extra peace of mind. It is always best to consult your local codes and regulations to ensure compliance and safety.

Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.

Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.

Yes, a hot or overheating outlet is a fire hazard and can cause a fire. An outlet becoming hot indicates an electrical problem, such as an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or a faulty component. The heat from these issues can ignite nearby flammable materials like curtains or furniture. If you notice an outlet is hot to the touch, turn off the power at the circuit breaker, unplug any connected devices, and consult a qualified electrician. If a fire does start, use a Class C fire extinguisher or baking soda to suppress it, or evacuate immediately and call the fire department.
