Outlets, switches & lighting

Wet rooms and outdoors need weatherproof covers and the right protection devices under the adopted electrical code.

What this covers

New outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection, switches, ceiling fans and lighting circuits.

Do this first

  • Keep clear of sparking outlets, burning smells or water near electrical equipment.
  • Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips immediately.
  • Note which rooms lost power and photograph the panel if it is safe.

No power, a hot panel or a new circuit? Tell us what is happening. Request an electrician
