Electrical Outlet Replacement 

Over time, an outlet can start to become worn out. The electrical outlet wiring can fray and become damaged. When this happens, you need to get it replaced with a new outlet. We’ll ensure your wiring is correctly connected to the new outlet. Additionally, we can upgrade your outlet to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet, so your home is protected from surges.

Electrical Outlet Installation

Whether you are installing an accessory dwelling or simply want more outlets in your bedroom, our team of electricians can help. We will assess your home and determine the best materials for installing the new outlet. Then, we will complete the work as quickly as we can so that your family has the least amount of disruption possible.

GFCI Upgrades

With a GFCI outlet, your home can receive added protection from electrical shock. Often, GFCI outlets are installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas because these spaces have water present. For any outdoor outlets that aren’t GFCI outlets yet, it’s time to think about an upgrade. 

SIGNS YOU NEED TO GET YOUR OUTLETS REPLACED 

The following symptoms indicate it is time to get your electrical outlet replaced. 

  • Burn marks and melting: One telltale sign you need a new outlet is burn marks. When the electrical outlet or wires are overheating, they can cause scorched marks and melted wires. You may also notice the smell of melted metal or plastic.
  • Loose cover plates: Cover plates are supposed to protect your outlet’s connections and wiring. When they become damaged or loose, you may need a replacement. With outdoor electrical outlets, loose plates are always a sign that the outlet is undergoing wear and needs a replacement.
  • Warm to the touch: An outlet that feels warm to the touch should be replaced. 
  • Electrical shocks: When your electrical system is installed properly, it should never cause electrical shocks. You need to call one of our electricians right away if you get shocked whenever you touch the outlet. 
  • Outdated outlets: An outdoor outlet should always be a GFCI outlet. A GFCI provides extra protection against shocks and electrical imbalances, so it is an important safety measure.
  • Frequent Tripping: When your circuit breaker keeps tripping all the time, you may have a faulty outlet. Because the outlet is no longer able to handle its electrical load, it needs to be replaced by a professional.

ADVANTAGES OF GETTING A GFCI OUTLET INSTALLED 

If you have old or outdated outlets in your home, it is time to consider a replacement. With a GFCI outlet, you can enjoy a number of important benefits.

  • Lower fire risk: Because GFCI outlets can detect electrical imbalances, they can shut off your power before an electrical fire has a chance to begin.
  • Reset buttons: GFCI outlets are all installed with a test and reset button. This button makes testing and resetting your electrical outlet incredibly easy and safe.
  • Electrical shock protection: Because GFCI outlets can immediately detect ground faults, they can shut off power before you get shocked by the electricity.
  • Code compliance: Modern building codes often require GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. By installing GFCI outlets in these areas, you can ensure your home is in compliance with local and national building codes.
  • Higher home value: Home buyers want to know their future home is safe to live in. By upgrading to GFCI outlets, you can increase your home’s appeal to potential buyers. 

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN GETTING A NEW OUTLET INSTALLED

Before you get a new electrical outlet installed in your home, there are a few factors you should keep in mind to ensure a seamless, safe experience. With the help of our electricians, you can determine the location where you want the outlet to go. Our electricians may modify the location based on local building codes and the way your electrical system is currently set up. Additionally, you will need to consider the location’s access to your power source. 

Before the installation can begin, the electrician will turn off your power. Afterward, they will remove the outlet. Then, they will run the electrical outlet wiring to the outlet. Once everything is ready, the electrician will install the new outlet. After turning the power back on, they will test the outlet to ensure it is working properly. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRICAL OUTLETS

What should I do if my outlet isn’t working? 

When the outlet isn’t working properly, start by checking your circuit breaker panel to see if the circuit breaker has been tripped. When the circuit breaker looks normal, call one of our electricians to get the outlet replaced.

What type of outlet should I get? 

There are many outlet types available, so you should talk to our electricians about the best options for your home. You may want to get GFCI outlets, standard wall outlets, combination outlets, or USB outlets. It all depends on where and how the outlet will be used.

Can I replace my current outlet with a GFCI outlet? 

You can typically replace a standard outlet with a GFCI outlet. However, you should reach out to one of our electricians to ensure that the electrical outlet wiring is compatible with a GFCI outlet.

What does the test and reset button do? 

A GFCI outlet has a test and reset button that allows you to see if the outlet is working correctly. The test button acts like a ground fault. Then, hitting the reset button turns the power back on after the fault has occurred.

Why do outlets have ground wires? 

The outlet’s ground wire is intended to give the electrical current a safe way to travel out of the outlet if there is a ground fault. Thanks to this feature, you are less likely to have damaged electrical devices or an electrical shock.
