Outlet & Switch Installation & Wiring
If you need a new outlet or light switch installation, we can help you update your house with modern, convenient options. Our team handles switch replacement, installs new electrical outlets in additional locations, and upgrades older devices to USB, smart, or tamper-resistant models.
GFCI & AFCI Outlets
GFCI outlets protect you from shock in moisture-prone areas by shutting off power when they detect an imbalance. AFCI outlets guard against arc faults, which can occur when wiring becomes damaged or loose. Both types add essential layers of protection, and we can install them wherever your home needs enhanced safety.

Outlet & Switch FAQs
Why is one of my outlets not working?
A single outlet may stop working due to a tripped breaker, a loose connection, or internal wear inside the device. Sometimes the issue is related to wiring behind the wall, especially in older homes. A professional can identify the cause and restore safe operation.
When should I replace old electrical outlets or switches?
You should consider replacing them if they feel loose, show discoloration, make unusual sounds, or no longer hold plugs securely. Aging devices can become unreliable and may pose a safety risk. Updating them improves both performance and protection.
Should two-pronged outlets be replaced?
Two-pronged outlets lack grounding, which limits safety and compatibility with modern appliances. Replacing them with grounded or GFCI-protected outlets provides better protection against shocks and electrical faults. It also helps bring older houses closer to current electrical standards.
