Electrical Outlet Repairs in Columbia, SC

Many homeowners do not realize their outlets need servicing until a serious issue arises. Recognizing the signs of outlet problems early can help prevent hazards and avoid costly repairs later. If you notice burn marks around an outlet, feel heat when plugging something in, or hear popping sounds, these are all signs that the outlet needs professional inspection. Outlets that intermittently work or require jiggling to function may have loose wiring or internal damage. Flickering lights or devices that frequently lose power can also be symptoms of a faulty outlet.

Mr. Electric of Columbia can evaluate your electrical outlet issues and provide repairs to restore safe, consistent functionality. Our goal is to ensure every outlet in your home performs reliably and meets current safety standards.

Sometimes, the most practical solution is not to repair the existing outlet but to install a new one. This may be the case for older homes that still use outdated, two-prong outlets that lack proper grounding. In other situations, damage caused by overheating, moisture exposure, or poor wiring practices may make repairs less cost-effective in the long run. If your current outlets cannot handle the load required by today’s high-powered appliances, installing new ones with updated capabilities is often a safer and more efficient solution.

Mr. Electric of Columbia offers a range of options when homeowners need to install electrical outlets. Whether you need standard wall outlets, outlets designed for large appliances, or modern solutions like USB charging outlets, we can ensure your new installations are completed safely and to code. We assess your electrical system, discuss your power needs, and recommend the best upgrades for your space.
