It is generally not recommended to install electrical outlets directly underneath windows due to potential water damage from rain, condensation, or accidental spills. Placing outlets in this location may also affect the aesthetics of the window area and limit space for window treatments or furniture.

What is the difference between flex outlet and spur outlet?

A flex outlet is a type of electrical outlet that is connected to the main electrical circuit through a flexible cable, typically used for appliances that require mobility or flexibility in their placement. On the other hand, a spur outlet is an additional electrical outlet connected to an existing outlet, often used to extend the reach of the main circuit. The key difference lies in their connection to the main electrical circuit, with flex outlets using a flexible cable and spur outlets being connected directly to an existing outlet.

What precautions should you take during an electrical storm?

It is not a good time to be taking a shower or bath. The piping system is a good conduit for electricity and pools of water may attract lightening. Using the telephone and electrical appliances is also not a good idea, the wiring being designed to carry electricity. Close ALL windows and doors. Bring your pets inside. Unplug any electrical things such as toasters, blenders, etc. Turn off the TV and radio! Even cell phones shouldn't be used during an electrical storm. Don't go outside to have a look and stay away from the windows! I actually had a "fireball" come right through my living room window (I was sitting on the couch) and enter my TV (a freak storm with no warning.) The window had no damage nor did the TV. My husband witnessed it and said as the streak passed me my hair shot up. LOL
