Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if an outlet is faulty or unsafe?
A: Outlets should stay cool and hold a plug firmly. Warning signs are an outlet or cover plate that feels warm, browning or discoloration, cracks, buzzing or sizzling sounds, sparks when you plug something in, a burning smell, or plugs that will not stay put. Any of those means stop using that outlet. If you smell burning, turn off the breaker for that circuit and unplug whatever is connected. Then have us take a look. We can replace the outlet and check whether the wiring behind it caused the problem.
​
How often should outlets and switches be replaced?
A: There is no set age that fits every outlet. They can last many years, but they wear with use, because the contacts that grip the plug slowly loosen. Replace them based on condition: a loose grip, discoloration, cracks, heat, or noise. Outlets that have gotten wet or been painted over should be replaced too. For a rough benchmark, InterNACHI lists electrical accessories at 10 or more years of life and says dimmer switches may need replacing after about 10 years. If your outlets are older than that and see heavy use, it is worth having someone check them.
​
Can you replace ungrounded outlets in an older home?
A: Yes. Many older homes have two-prong outlets because there is no ground wire in the box. Code gives a few ways to replace them. You can install another two-prong outlet, or you can install a GFCI outlet labeled No Equipment Ground, which adds shock protection even without a ground wire. What you should not do is force a three-prong plug into a two-slot outlet. If you want true grounded outlets throughout the house, that is a rewiring conversation, and we can assess what it would take. Two-prong outlets near sinks and other wet areas are the first ones we would upgrade.
​
Can you install smart switches and dimmers?
A: Yes. We install smart switches, dimmers, and wireless lighting controls. Before you buy one, there is a catch. Many smart switches need a neutral wire in the switch box to stay powered, and a lot of older homes do not have a neutral wire in every box. Some models are made to work without one. We will open up the boxes, see what you have, and tell you which switches will work before you spend money on the wrong ones.
​
Do you do quick outlet repairs in Minot and nearby towns?
A: Yes. We repair and replace outlets, switches, and light fixtures in Minot, Bismarck, Williston, Mandan, Surrey, Glenburn, Underwood, Washburn, Velva, Anamoose, and Parshall. If an outlet is sparking, do not wait. Get an electrician out as soon as you can. If an outlet just went dead, check for a tripped breaker or a tripped GFCI outlet first, since one GFCI can shut off several outlets at once. If neither is the cause, give us a call.
