What Causes Dead Outlets?

An outlet can stop working because of a variety of issues. However, every dead outlet is frustrating for the same reason: they constantly force you to work around them to find power for your devices and appliances.

Bad Wiring

When wiring ages, it can come loose or split, causing a lack of adequate electrical current to an outlet. Loose wiring is dangerous because it can heat up and cause an electrical fire. So, having a dead outlet is inspected by an electrician is important to determine if your wiring is bad.

A Tripped Circuit Breaker

When a device, appliance, or multiple items draw too much power from an outlet, a circuit breaker might trip. This can be remedied by checking your electrical panel for tripped breakers and resetting them. To stop this problem from happening again, try using fewer devices or appliances with the same outlet. However, if the circuit breaker continues to trip under normal use, it’s time to call Mister Sparky® for help.

A Tripped Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

A tripped ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device featured on the outlets of many rooms or areas which are close to water. Sometimes, a GFCI only needs to be reset for an outlet to continue working again. However, a frequently tripping GFCI needs to be inspected by an electrician.

Yance M. and Douglas B. went above and beyond in taking care of our electrical and security needs. Douglas replaced two attic fan motors with thermostats and installed a gable vent fan with a thermostat. I highly and confidently recommend asking for them when considering Mr. Sparky! In addition to doing an excellent job, they are both a joy! Once again, well done! Thank you! Update November 29, 2024 Jordan C. was here to resolve some security technical issues. He was extremely patient, professional, went far beyond what I would have imagined and put us back on the right track. Again, another outstanding technician when considering doing business with Mr. Sparky! Thank you Jordan!

Matthew was great! He arrived early and had everything he needed to get our several projects done quickly and well. He left our house clean and was polite and knowledgeable, explaining some options in a way I could understand. Highly recommend!

Yance is a team leader and great communicator. He made me aware of some issues, and gave me multiple ideas for solutions. If I ever need to consult with an electrician again, I will call Yance.

Mr. Cameron was very professional and did a great job even though I was away on vacation he was in and out of my home doing his work with no issues. Can't wait to see it in person but I'm sure I'll still be pleased.

- Terrance Williams

The Electrician, Jordan was great to work with. We had somewhat of an unusual issue which required significant investigation. He demonstrated a high level of knowledge and continually explained what he was doing. He was patient with my questions. He was overall very pleasant and professional to work with. From my standpoint, he is a great person for his job and represents his company with excellence.
