ASK AN EXPERT

These are just a few of the questions commonly asked by our clients about Electrical.

How many outlets do I need?

The number of outlets you need depends on room size, layout and function. The national electric code (NEC) provides minimum requirements to ensure safety and convenience.

Can I add smart switches or dimmers?

Yes, and they’re a great way to enhance convenience, energy efficiency or control. Whether you’re upgrading a single light or building a full smart home system, there are many options to bring your vision to light.

Is the panel sized for future expansion?

Your panel should be sized with future expansion in mind, especially if you plan to add more circuits, appliances, or features like EV chargers, hot tubs or pools.

Are GFCI-protected outlets required?

Yes, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlets are required in many areas of your home or building. These outlets are designed to protect people from electrical shock by quickly shutting off power when a ground fault is detected.

Can I select where outlets are placed?

Yes, there are guidelines with the national electrical codes for a lot of flexibility to customize placement for convenience, aesthetics and functionality.
