Where does Oregon code require GFCI or AFCI?
GFCI: kitchens, baths, garages, basements, crawl spaces, laundry, exterior, and within 6' of any sink. AFCI: most habitable-room circuits (bedrooms, living, dining, halls). We bring outlets up to current code as we work.
Can you replace two-prong outlets with grounded three-prong?
Yes — and there are two options. If the box has a ground (some older homes do via metal conduit), we ground the new outlet directly. If not, code allows a GFCI replacement protecting the circuit, labeled "No Equipment Ground" — a safe, code-legal fix without rewiring.
Why is my outlet warm or discolored?
Heat or discoloration usually means a loose connection or overload — a real fire risk. Stop using it, and we'll diagnose whether it's the outlet, the wire termination, or the connected appliance and repair properly.
