Switches & Outlets FAQs
The number of outlets and switches that can be on a single circuit depends on the circuit’s amperage and the power requirements of the devices you’ll be using. Generally, a 15-amp circuit can support up to 8-10 outlets, while a 20-amp circuit can handle slightly more. However, if you’re running power-hungry devices like kitchen appliances, you may need a dedicated circuit to avoid overloads.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet is designed to protect you from electrical shock by automatically cutting off power if it detects an imbalance, such as when water is present. These outlets are typically used in areas with moisture, like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor locations, where the risk of electrical shock is higher. GFCI outlets are a crucial safety feature, especially in spaces exposed to water.
If an outlet isn’t working, it could be due to a few reasons, like a tripped breaker, a blown fuse, or a loose connection. In some cases, the outlet itself may be faulty or need replacement, especially if it’s older. It’s always best to have a professional evaluate the situation to identify the cause and safely restore power.

Updated panel from 100 to 200 A and installed EV charger. Team was very professional. Shane was responsive and ushered through the permit. Dave and Jr did a clean install and were respectful in my home. Would consider them for future electrical work.
Martin Gardner
We had Nu-Trend add an EV charging port to our garage which was organized via Qmert, who contracted Nu-Trend to do the installation. I first met Dave, who came out to inspect the job site and put together a quotation; he is an excellent, Knowledgeable, and professional electrician. Shane at Nu-Trend took care of all the paperwork which includes a work permit from the local council and inspection after installation. Dave and a co-worker who was also excellent came to the house and did the installation in about half a day, the quality of the workmanship was impeccable. The work passed Inspection with flying colors.
