FAQs
Why do outlets stop working?
Outlets can stop working for many reasons. One common cause is tripped circuit breakers, which cut off power to the outlet. Faulty wiring within the outlet or in the electrical system can also lead to non-functioning outlets. Loose connections, damaged outlets, or short circuits can also disrupt the flow of electricity. Outlet failure can also occur due to overloading the circuit or using incompatible devices. In some cases, there may be internal damage caused by electrical surges, moisture exposure, or aging components.
What are the signs a switch should be replaced?
If you experience any of the following signs, it’s advisable to hire an electrician for a proper assessment and replacement to ensure a safe and reliable electrical system:
- A switch feels loose or wobbly
- Switches stick or have difficulty toggling on/off
- Flickering lights when a switch is moved
- Switches emit sparks, make crackling sounds, or feel hot to the touch
- Switches fail to turn on or off properly
Can I add more outlets to a room?
In many cases, it is possible to add more outlets to a room. However, it is essential to consider the electrical load and capacity of the existing wiring before doing so. Adding outlets without proper planning can overload the circuit and lead to safety hazards. It is best to consult a licensed electrician to assess the electrical system, determine the appropriate circuit capacity, and ensure proper wiring for the additional outlets.

I’ve had Robertson Electric out a couple of times for my HVAC system and always been happy with their service. So when I needed an outlet installed in my kitchen they were my first call. They arranged the work with my schedule, showed up exactly when they said, installed the outlet right where I needed it, and cleaned everything up afterward. I couldn’t be happier with their service!
Kimberly Kosky
I’ve been using Roberson Electric for my heat/AC service happily for a few years, and when I needed a simple exterior electric outlet installed, they were the first on my list to call. Setting up the estimate appointment was quick and easy, as well as the later installation. The electricians were mindful of my home, needs, and were very patient as we discussed the installation. Once complete, we walked through the installation, testing, and updates to my fuse box. They did a great job.
