If you live in an older home, you may not have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, or GFCI, outlets in your kitchen and bathrooms. These outlets are designed to disrupt the power to electrical outlets when heat or moisture is detected. This helps to prevent accidental electrocutions. In order to ensure the safety of your family, it is a good idea to install GFCI outlets in high-risk areas, such as kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor outlets.
How High Are Light Switches Off The Floor?
Light switches need to be placed at a height that is comfortable for everyone in the home when they are both sitting and standing. Since it's important to have consistency across buildings, the standard height for light switches is 48 inches off the floor. Depending on building codes, these heights can be different. A good example of when this height can be different is in kitchens. Kitchen light switches can be installed at varying heights to work with countertops.
Outlet & Switch Repair
Outlets and switches get the heaviest use of all electrical system components. The constant plugging and unplugging of appliances into outlets and turning lights on and off cause wear and tear over time. This can cause electrical connections to become loose. This is more than just inconvenient. Loose electrical connections can also become a fire hazard. We can send a qualified Elgin electrician to repair problem connections.

"He was trustworthy, competent, concise in his description of my pipe problem and thorough."
Brad was my plumber, and he was trustworthy, competent, concise in his description of my pipe problem and thorough. He discovered a couple of minor things in addition to my original need that I agreed needed fixing, and he gave me several pricing options. He wasn't high-pressure in the least, which I appreciated a great deal. I will contact Amy Plumbing, Heating and Cooling for my next plumbing need. In fact, Brad convinced me to contact Amy the next time I need an electrician, which I fully plan to do.

"I had a great customer experience."
I had a great customer experience. My water heater went out in my condo in Crystal Lake, but I had moved out of state and had tenets. Brad was in constant contact with me as well as my renters to get it fixed as soon as possible. I would definitely recommend!

We needed our kitchen faucet replaced and I called Amy's, they came within ten minutes. Brad was very professional and quick. I will definitely use them in the future for our plumbing needs.

"It's very easy to be a Club member year after year when the service is this good."
I am writing to rave about the work that Scott and Ae did in tandem to install our new AC and meter box. As always with Amy, the detail work was meticulous. If you need electrical work done, Scott is the best - personable, thorough, and really breaks down what is critical and what is an unnecessary expense at the time. Ae's work on the condenser box for the AC was so clean you would have never known that it was a replacement! It's very easy to be a Club member year after year when the service is this good.
