What is the difference between AFCI and GFCI outlets?

GFCI outlets protect against electrical shock, and AFCI outlets protect against electrical fires caused by arc faults. Both outlets serve different safety purposes and are recommended in various rooms of your home. Many newer builds include AFCI breakers, but older homes can also benefit from AFCI outlets. Our team at Mr. Electric of Sugar Land can advise you on the best combination for your home. Schedule Service today.

What could cause outlets to spark in Sugar Land?

Small sparks can be normal; however, frequent or large sparks may indicate a wiring problem or worn-out outlets. With humidity, this can cause corrosion inside the outlets. Old appliances or loose connections can also worsen the issue. If you ignore sparking outlets, you risk an electrical fire in your home. For a professional outlet inspection , schedule service with Mr. Electric of Sugar Land.

What type of outlets are needed for large appliances?

Many appliances, such as dryers, ovens, and EV chargers, require 240-volt outlets. Using the wrong outlet can damage the appliance or create a dangerous electrical condition. Homeowners who upgrade their appliances often need heavy-duty outlet installation. Our electricians can help you choose the best outlet and wiring for your appliances. For the proper appliance outlet installation, Schedule Service today.

Can Mr. Electric of Sugar Land install exterior outlets?

Yes, our team can install weather-resistant GFCI outlets made for outdoor use. These types of outlets are made for garden equipment, outdoor holiday lights, and patio entertainment setups. Exterior outlets must meet certain moisture requirements. To add outdoor power, schedule service with Mr. Electric of Sugar Land today.

Can old wiring affect new outlets in Sugar Land?

Yes, if you have outdated wiring, this can limit where and how new outlets can be installed. Many homes built before 1980 may need wiring updates to support modern outlets.

For a full wiring and outlet assessment, schedule service today.

What should I do if my outlet stops working in Sugar Land?

If you have a dead outlet, it could be due to a tripped breaker, faulty wiring, or a worn-out outlet. Often, GFCI outlets will trip without warning. If resetting the outlet does not resolve the issue, a deeper electrical problem may be present. For a professional diagnosis, contact Mr. Electric of Sugar Land today.
