"The ADS crew is a family and they work together impressively. Maybe I should describe them as highly skilled residential electrical contractors that work with focus, knowledge, skill, talent, speed and are just good folks to talk to. I’ve done work for others and I know the dreaded question “You mind having a look at . . .?” Seriously, the response was “sounds interesting, let’s have a look.” I’m planning a major update to the mid century modern I recently purchased and I can only hope I can get ADS Electric LLC. For the electrical. I’ll wait for them if I have to. If you’re reading this and you have an opportunity to have Alex & Company do your work, sign them up!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The main types are 15-amp 120-volt outlets (2-prong and 3-prong), 20-amp 125-volt outlets, and 240-volt outlets for large appliances. Safety types include GFCI, AFCI, tamper-resistant, and weather-resistant outlets. Convenience types include switched, combination, USB, smart, and rotating outlets.

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

The safest way to pull an electrical cord from the wall outlet is by gently but firmly grabbing the plug and pulling it out. Pulling on the cord instead of the plug can cause damage to the cord, leading to an increased risk of electrical problems like fire or electric shock. If you notice damaged wiring on an appliance or device, it’s best to stop using it immediately.

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
