Your Questions. Our Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Outlet & Switch Repair

You will find answers to all of your most common Electrical Services related questions located here.

Why do outlets stop working suddenly?

Common causes include tripped GFCI outlets (check bathrooms and garages), tripped circuit breakers, loose connections, or failed outlets. JLM Electric's systematic troubleshooting quickly identifies the cause for Queen Creek homeowners.

Can I replace outlets and switches myself?

While seemingly simple, outlet and switch replacement involves working with live electricity. Improper installation can cause fires or shock hazards. JLM Electric provides safe, code-compliant installation at affordable rates.

How do I know if an outlet is dangerous?

Warning signs include: warmth to touch, burn marks or discoloration, sparks when plugging in, buzzing sounds, or plugs falling out easily. If you notice any of these, stop using the outlet and call JLM Electric immediately.

Why do my switches feel warm?

Warm switches often indicate overloaded circuits or failing dimmer switches. This is a fire hazard requiring immediate attention. Standard switches should never feel warm. Call JLM Electric for emergency evaluation.

How long do outlets and switches last?

Quality outlets and switches typically last 15-25 years with normal use. However, frequently used outlets, outdoor locations, or poor initial installation can significantly reduce lifespan. Regular inspection helps identify needed replacements.
