  • Can I reset my circuit breaker?

    Yes, tripping a breaker is a common problem for many homeowners. To reset your circuit breaker, first, look at your breaker box to find any switches that are out of place. Turn the breaker switch to "Off" and then back to "On" to reset it.

  • What is a "tamper-resistant receptacle"?

    Tamper-resistant outlets have sliding doors that cover the openings. This design stops children from putting objects into the holes and getting electric shocks. You can usually find these outlets in homes built after 2008, and they are a good choice for renovation projects.

  • Do I need a special type of outlet for my outdoor space?

    All outdoor outlets must meet specific standards and have weather-resistant features. You need proper box covers for these outlets.

  • How can I tell if an electrical outlet isn't safe?

    Make sure electrical plugs fit tightly into the outlets. If plugs are loose or fall out easily, the outlet likely needs replacement. If an outlet feels warm to the touch, call G.E. Smith Electric right away.

  • What is GFCI and where do I need them?

    A GFCI outlet quickly shuts off power when there is a ground fault. It has test and reset buttons. You can find these outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoors.

  • What are the benefits of whole-house surge protection?

    Protecting all your electrical equipment in the home is safer and more effective than just using a surge protector for one device. This method better protects your entire house from electrical surges.
