About Stronghold Electric

Hiring a licensed and insured electrical contractor, such as Stronghold Electric, is crucial for ensuring the safety, reliability, and legality of electrical work performed in your home or business.

Yes. Because a ceiling fan is an active load that is heavier than most light fixtures, you need a special mounting box designed for this application. There are several different options depending on the size (weight) of the fan.

The third prong on a plug is a grounding prong. Two-prong receptacles do not have the same level of grounding as a three-prong device. The third grounding prong provides additional protection to the electrical system, the item plugged in, and you from electrical shock. For 2-wire systems, there are options available to help make the wiring system and you safer.

LED lights are more expensive to purchase than incandescent lights, but they’re more efficient (they’ll last 50,000 hours instead of 1,200 hours). They also have a lower annual operating cost, which is great for people trying to “go green.”

You may have seen an electrical outlet with a “test” and “reset” button in the middle – this is a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). It automatically shuts off an electrical circuit when it detects that the current isn’t flowing correctly. It’s also used to reduce the risk of electrical shock from a receptacle located in damp locations and/or counter top areas.

Electrical plugs should fit snugly into the receptacle. If you find that your plugs are loose or fall out of outlets, that’s a big indication that it needs to be replaced. Additionally, if you notice that an outlet feels hot or warm, you should call an electrician immediately to address the issue.

Tamper-resistant receptacles feature “doors” that slide in front of the openings to prevent children from inserting items into the holes and experiencing an electrical shock. These outlets are typically found in homes built after 2008 and are recommended for renovation projects as well.
