Common Questions
Should I replace all two-prong outlets?
Yes, for safety. Two-prong outlets lack a ground wire, which means they can’t protect you from electrical shock if an appliance malfunctions. We can upgrade them to grounded three-prong outlets (if your wiring supports it) or install GFCI outlets as an alternative safety measure.
Can I install outlets and switches myself?
While some homeowners do DIY electrical work, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician. Incorrect wiring can cause fires, electrocution, and code violations that affect your home’s resale value and insurance coverage. Our work is guaranteed and inspected.
How long does outlet/switch replacement take?
A simple replacement takes 15-30 minutes per device. Adding a new outlet (running new wire) takes 1-3 hours depending on accessibility. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during our free quote.
