Can you put an electrical outlet above a fireplace? I need one.

My concern is the cool air and hot air that the attic produces during certain times of the day and I am afraid of humidity getting to the wire which may cause a fire.

I added an electrical outlet above my fireplace and came across some concerns.There was a wire behind the fireplace that led to two different outlets next to it.

The electrical wiring question came from James, a homeowner from Keller, Texas.

The electrical wiring in a home includes both 220 and 120v outlets, which are common in every home.You can see how electrical outlets are wired.
