Try plugging in a green light instead of a red one. :icon_wink:

Most red switches in the living room, control the outlet in the floor. NOT on the walls.

let's understand that the employees are not licensed. They work under a master license

Not true. In Florida, all you need is one licensed electrician in the company office. Most of the guys working in the houses are just grunts hired off the street.

In floor? IMO guess that would depend on what model and when it was built. In my home All red dot switches control one side of outlet (with red dot) on the wall when lamp out plug in.

I agree that every individual person installing the electrical items may not be personally licensed. But, the overall employee supervision and ultimate responsibility for the completed project is borne by a company licensed by the state to perform electrical work.

Our outlets marked in red are on top that are controlled by the switch. House built in 2017 if that has anything to do with it being bottom or top.
If top or bottom don’t work through switch a call to warranty is probably in order.

They may have put the red sticker by the wrong outlet. Try every outlet in the room. When my house was painted, painter put them back in the wrong place. I was s confused.
Now this is a logical explanation. Painter takes off outlet covers , puts them back but not necessarily on the same outlet they came off. Awesome

You don’t have to put on the red light!
