RMS Electrical Contractors, LLC Answers Your Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Can I replace my two prong outlets with three prong outlets?
A: Yes it is possible to use a GFCI receptacle (like the square one on
your kitchen counter with the reset button in the center) or a GFCI circuit
breaker can be used in the circuit.
- Q: Why do my lights dim momentarily when a major appliance starts up?
A: The lights dim because the appliance's motor draws a lot of power when
starting but this is perfectly normal unless the lights stay dim.
A: Fuses are very safe when used as designed. Fuses become unsafe when
they are purposely overloaded or a higher than specified fuse size is used.
- Q: Why does my microwave oven occasionally trip the circuit breaker?
A: The circuit is marginally overloaded; it trips when other kitchen
appliances are drawing power at the same time the microwave is on. Call RMS
Electrical Contractors to install a separate circuit for the microwave.
- Q: Can I replace an existing light fixture with a ceiling fan/light?
A: The only prerequisite is that an electrical box is installed in the
ceiling that is approved to support the added weight of the new fan.
