Frequently asked questions about Electrical Help in Portland
Why does a licensed electrician have to install a new outlet?
Electrical work can be dangerous if done incorrectly, and many areas require licensed electricians for safety and code compliance. A pro provides work that is up to code and reduces fire risk. Additionally, you don’t want to risk getting electrocuted, it's painful and deadly.
How can I fix an open ground outlet safely?
Fixing an open ground outlet usually requires running a ground wire or installing a GFCI outlet for protection. An electrician can handle this safely and make sure it meets code.
How do I install Ethernet outlets instead of just running cables?
Installing Ethernet outlets involves cutting wall openings, running cables, and connecting them to wall plates. If you’re not comfortable with drywall work or wiring, consider hiring help.
Can one outlet power both an outlet and under-cabinet lighting?
It depends on the circuit’s load and wiring setup. An electrician can confirm if your current circuit can handle both safely.
Can someone install a light switch dimmer for me?
Yes, an electrician or handyman can install a dimmer switch. Just confirm the type of lights you have since not all bulbs are dimmable.
Can the same electrician install light fixtures and light switches, and splice wires?
Yes, an electrician or skilled handyman can help with all of these tasks. Be sure to describe the job in detail when booking.
Can I reschedule an appointment if something comes up?
Yes, many Taskers are flexible and understand that things come up. Just reach out as soon as you can to reschedule.
