Why is my outlet dead when no breaker tripped?
Often a GFCI upstream has tripped, or there's a loose connection at another outlet on the same circuit. We trace it.
Is a warm outlet dangerous?
Yes. Warmth usually means a loose or failing connection. Stop using it and have it checked.
Can two-prong outlets be upgraded?
Yes. We can run a ground, or install GFCI protection labeled "No Equipment Ground" as the code allows.
Where does code require GFCI?
Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, outdoors, crawlspaces and unfinished basements, among others.
