"We contacted Lee Electric to get a quote on work that needed to be done on a property we were considering purchasing. Ada called us back almost immediately (she was very responsive throughout our interactions). She came out to the house a day or two later to examine the electrical systems and discuss the scope of the renovations we were considering. She diligently went through each and every project that needed to be done, examined the house thoroughly (from top to bottom), and provided such excellent insight into the condition of the electrical systems, the scopre of work that needed to be done, and the exact  (as well as what did not need to be done, which we greatly appreciated), and she outlined the costs for doing it. In every regard, Ada was EXCELLENT. We did not wind up buying the property, but we were so impressed with her knowledge and professionalism, we would absolutely hire her in the blink of an eye. We'd hire Lee Electric, too, as long as Ada came with the package. ;) Five stars.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that outdoor Christmas lights be plugged into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to prevent hazardous electrical shocks or an electrical fire. It’s a code violation to plug outdoor Christmas lights into a non-GFCI outlet, so be sure to follow these guidelines for a safe and successful installation.

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. 

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.

If your outlet needs to be reset multiple times, you likely have a problem with the outlet, the reset button, the wiring, or its connected circuit breaker. If the reset button doesn’t work and the circuit breaker isn’t the issue, it’s likely a problem with the outlet or the reset button it’s attached to.
