Outlets & Switches
Why should I upgrade or replace outlets and switches?
Outlets and switches are used every day, and over time, they wear out, become outdated, or may no longer meet today’s safety or functionality standards. Upgrading these systems can improve convenience, reduce risk, and bring your home up to modern electrical codes.
Signs it might be time for an upgrade:
- Outlets are loose, discolored, or warm to the touch
- Sparking or buzzing from switches or outlets
- Outlets only have two prongs (no grounding)
- Dimmers cause lights to flicker or hum
- Switches feel unstable, stick, or no longer work
- You rely heavily on power strips or extension cords
Common upgrades we provide:
- GFCI & AFCI installation in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors
- Smart switches for voice control, scheduling, and remote access via smartphone
- Smart outlets with USB ports for convenient charging without bulky adapters
- Tamper-resistant outlets for homes with children
- Additional outlets for areas with high power demands (home offices, kitchens)
- Modern dimmer switches compatible with LED lighting
Why it matters:
Small upgrades like these can have a big impact. Whether it’s preventing an overload, making everyday tasks more convenient, or preparing your home for new tech — updating your outlets and switches is a smart investment in safety and comfort.
