Outlet Replacement & Additions in Cincinnati

Do you have extension cords chained together to get power where you need it? Not only are extension cords and power strips a tripping hazard, but they can also be a fire hazard. It’s best practice to plug directly into a power outlet, and you should never have to chain multiple cords or power strips together.

Electrical code recommends a grounded power outlet every ten feet in your home for maximum safety. Outlets should be grounded (three-pronged) to prevent excess electrical power from blowing out your electronics and creating a fire.

Signs You Might Need New Outlets

Properly installed electrical components have a long service life, but worn-out or improperly installed components can pose a serious safety hazard.

Do your outlets show any of these dangerous signs?

• Sparking or Hot Outlets: If you see sparks, hear zapping, or if the outlet plate is hot to the touch, the outlet needs to be repaired or replaced immediately. This can be a serious fire hazard for your home.
• Flickering or Dimming Lights: If you have a lamp plugged into an outlet and the light flickers or dims regularly, this can indicate loose connections or overloaded circuits.
• Loose Plugs: Does your outlet not hold the plug very well? Loose outlets that cannot secure a plug can be a fire hazard.
• Lack of GFCI Outlets: GFCI outlets are special outlets that are used in areas that might get wet, such as in your bathroom or kitchen. In fact, there are electrical codes that require only GFCI outlets to be used within range of any sink or water outlet. You can identify them by the TEST and RESET buttons on the outlet plate.
• Insufficient Outlets: If you are constantly using extension cords, it’s time to add more outlets to your home.
• Two-Prong Outlets: If your outlets only have room for two prongs, that means they do not have a grounding wire to protect your home from excess electrical surges. A grounding system is considered the minimum protection from power surges. A whole-home surge protector will work together with your grounding system to fully protect your home from electrical surges.
