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.

Yes. We add outlets to existing circuits when capacity allows, or run new circuits for kitchens, garages and home offices.
Why does my switch feel warm?
Dimmers run slightly warm normally. A hot regular switch or a buzzing sound points to a loose connection or overloaded circuit, so have it checked.
