New Outlets Where You Need Them
Extension cords and power strips running across a room usually mean the space needs more outlets. We add new receptacles on properly sized circuits for home offices, entertainment walls, kitchens, garages and outdoor areas, so you get convenient power without overloading a single circuit.
- Additional standard outlets in living spaces and bedrooms
- Kitchen countertop and island outlets
- Garage, workshop and exterior weather-resistant outlets
- Dedicated circuits for large appliances
GFCI, AFCI and USB Outlets
GFCI outlets cut power quickly when they detect a ground fault, which is why code calls for them near water in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages and outdoors. Arc-fault protection helps reduce fire risk from damaged wiring. USB-combination outlets let you charge phones and tablets without bulky adapters.
Switches and Dimmers
We replace worn or noisy switches, add three-way switching so you can control a light from both ends of a hallway or staircase, and install dimmers matched to your bulbs so LED lighting dims smoothly without flicker or buzzing.
Fixing Loose and Damaged Outlets
An outlet that no longer grips a plug, shows scorch marks, or feels warm should be replaced rather than ignored. We check the connections and the circuit behind it so the underlying problem is fixed, not just the faceplate.

Outlet & Switch Installation — Common Questions
Can you add an outlet to a finished wall?
Yes. In most cases we can fish new wiring through the wall with only a small opening.
Why does my bathroom outlet keep turning off?
It is likely a GFCI outlet doing its job, or a sign of moisture or a failing device. We can test and replace it if needed.
Can I swap my two-prong outlets for three-prong ones?
Only when a proper ground is available or GFCI protection is added. We check the circuit and recommend the code-compliant option.
