F.A.Q.
Frequent Questions
The Bathroom, Kitchen, Garage or outside outlets stopped working.
These areas of your home have a special device called a G(round) F(ault) C(ircuit) I(nterrupter) receptacle which are very sensitive to moisture and water; required by the National Electrical Code, they create a safer electrical system for you and your family. They have the ability to protect many receptacles; meaning you only need a few in your home to protect those vital areas. If an outlet is not working in one of these areas, you should look around for the goofy outlet with a button in the middle and hit “Reset”. They are often behind a counter-top appliance, or a cabinet in the garage but, rest assured, they are there. Simply reset them and power will be restored.
Switched Outlets
In living rooms and bedrooms, a wall switch often controls one of the sockets of a duplex receptacle. Either the top or bottom of the outlet will have power to it when the light switch is in the “On” position. The purpose of this setup is to control a lamp or illuminating device in a room without having to walk across a dark room to turn on a light. Please check both the top and bottom of the outlet if you are unsure whether or not there is power available.

Federal Pacific or Zinsco Panel
I have an outdated panel that has been mentioned as a fire hazard, should I replace it? Yes, these panels are outdated and are known to not properly protect your wiring inside your walls when overloaded.
