Your light bulb and dimmer switch might just hate each other.

Seriously.

One thing I’ve learned in 22 years of electrical work is that the most obvious explanation isn’t always the correct one.

LED lights that flicker when dimmed don’t automatically mean your wiring is bad.

Sometimes you’ve simply paired a dimmer with an LED bulb it doesn’t work well with.

And here’s the part that surprises people: Even when the package says “dimmable,” that doesn’t guarantee compatibility with every dimmer.

If your lights only flicker when you turn them down low, that’s a useful clue.

Have you ever installed new LED bulbs and discovered they flicker worse than the old ones?

When did the garage become the room that needs the most electricity?

Between power tools, freezers, battery chargers, workout equipment, and everything else, garages aren’t just for parking anymore.

And somehow, there’s never an outlet where you need one!

If you could improve ONE thing about your garage, what would it be?

Better lighting, more outlets, or a dedicated circuit for equipment?

Fout Electric, LLC serves Aurora, Naperville, and surrounding Illinois communities.

If this were my garage, I’d usually hardwire the charger.

After 22 years in the electrical trade, that’s my starting preference for a charger that will stay in one place.

A plug-in charger with a NEMA 14-50 outlet can make sense when you want flexibility. But an outlet shouldn’t be the automatic choice just because it seems simpler.

The right setup depends on your charger, your panel’s available capacity, and how you use your vehicle. Let’s plan the installation around your home.

Thinking about an EV charger? Message me a photo of your electrical panel, the charger model, and your city so we can discuss the next step.

Bought the lights. Don’t want the ladder?

That box of permanent exterior lights looked like a great weekend project when you ordered it.

Then you looked at the roofline.

And the second story.

And the ladder.

And the hundreds of little mounting points. 😅

If you already purchased a permanent exterior lighting system and would rather have someone else handle the installation, Fout Electric, LLC can help.

You don’t need to start with a complicated appointment just to find out what’s involved.

Send us:

📍 Your city

We’ll take it from there.

BE HONEST: How long has that new fixture been sitting in the box?

A. I bought it this week
B. At least a month
C. Since last season
D. Long enough that the box is now furniture

The fan or light was the exciting purchase. Finding the time, ladder, tools, and patience to install it was apparently a separate project.

What home project has been waiting the longest at your house?

22 YEARS. ONE RULE: Space heaters go straight to the wall.

Not into an extension cord.
Not into a power strip.
Not into the surge protector behind the couch.

Straight into the wall receptacle.

After 22 years in the electrical trade, this is exactly the kind of shortcut I don’t think is worth taking.

Space heaters use a lot of power for something people often treat like an ordinary plug-in appliance.

And here’s the part I really want homeowners to remember:

If the outlet gets hot…
If the plug fits loosely…
If you smell hot plastic…
If the breaker keeps tripping…

The answer is not a heavier extension cord.

Stop using it and find out why.

Your space heater is supposed to heat the room—not the electrical system inside your wall.

You can add exactly one new electrical outlet anywhere in your house. Where are you putting it?

A. Behind the couch, so the phone charger finally reaches
B. At the kitchen island or pantry
C. In the garage by the workbench
D. Outside on the porch or patio
E. In the bathroom for a bidet or heated seat
F. Somewhere else entirely

Every house seems to have one spot where the builder apparently decided electricity would never be needed.

Where is yours?
