Common questions

Can I just swap my two-prong outlets for three-prong?

Not without a ground. A three-prong outlet with no ground behind it looks safe and isn't. The right fix is either running a ground or putting in a GFCI and labeling it. We'll tell you which makes sense for your house.

Is it worth calling an electrician for one outlet?

Yes. If you have a few small jobs, it's worth doing them in the same visit.

Smell burning or see sparks? Turn that breaker off. If there’s smoke or fire, get out and call 911. A wire down outside is ComEd: 1-800-334-7661. Stay away from it.
