General Rooms

Many families need enough electrical outlets to power multiple devices, including computers, laptops, and cellphone chargers. Some standards for your living spaces include:

• Your home should have receptacles every 12 feet.
• You should have receptacles on any wall spaces more than two feet wide.
• Any hallways longer than 10 feet in length should have at least one receptacle.

Kitchens

Our team will ensure reliable access to power with a kitchen that meets these electrical standards: 

• All countertop receptacles must be ground fault current interrupters (GFCI). 
• You should have receptacles above all countertops that are at least 12 inches wide.
• All your receptacles must be more than 20 inches above the countertops — exceptions may apply for homes with accessibility needs or islands and peninsulas where receptacle placement isn't possible.  
• Your kitchen should have at least one receptacle on the island or peninsula. 
• Face-up receptacles aren't allowed. 

Bathrooms

To accommodate your electrical needs for lighting, hair dryers, and other appliances, bathrooms must meet these standards:

• Your bathroom must have GFCI receptacles. 
• You can't have any face-up receptacles on the countertops. 
• You must have a receptacle within three feet of your sink basin's outside edge.
• You must have at least one separate 20-amp branch circuit to prevent receptacles from overloading.

How Often Are Electrical Inspections Required?

The professionals at Mister Sparky^® can help you determine how often you need electrical safety inspections in Atlanta — the frequency depends on your electrical warranty requirements, your home's condition, and your property's age.

Signs You Should Schedule an Inspection

You should schedule an inspection if you notice the following:

• Odd sounds: Buzzing and humming sounds indicate your wiring has deteriorated, is out of place, or is damaged. Any damaged wiring could cause other issues, from sparks and burning odors to dimming lights and tripped breakers.
• Burning odors: While it's normal for newly installed appliances to emit an odor when they're first used, a distinct burning smell could indicate faulty wiring or an overloaded circuit. 
• Visible damage: Over time, your electrical wires may begin to fray from exposure to high heat, damage from nails and screws, or chewing from mice and pests. Damaged wiring can cause flickering lights, buzzing and crackling sounds, or sparks. 
• Frequent circuit breaker trips: You should note if your breakers and fuses trip often. The frequent tripping could indicate a need for wiring repairs or replacements.
