Outlet & Switch Installation & Repair Services

The number of outlets you can safely add to a circuit depends on the amperage rating of the circuit breaker. A standard circuit breaker in a home is typically 15 or 20 amps. Each outlet can draw up to 1.5 amps, so you can calculate the maximum number of outlets based on the breaker rating. It's important to never overload a circuit, so it's always best to consult with a licensed electrician to determine how many outlets can be safely added to your specific circuit. If you’re looking for an expert switch and outlet services near you, then Randy’s Electric is your best choice.

There can be a few reasons why some of your outlets might not be working. A common culprit is a tripped circuit breaker. Check your breaker panel to see if any breakers have flipped to the off position. If a breaker has tripped, reset it by flipping the switch back to the on position. However, if the breaker trips again immediately, it's important to call an electrician to diagnose the problem. Other possible reasons for non-functioning outlets include faulty wiring, loose connections, or a damaged outlet itself.

Yes, it is recommended by electrical codes to have GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in all bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor outlets. GFCI outlets provide an extra layer of protection against electrical shock in areas prone to moisture.
