  • Switches and outlets are integral components of our electrical systems, and like any frequently used items, they go through a lot of wear and tear from daily use. There are many factors that can cause a decline in their performance over time. For instance, the mechanical components within switches can become loose due to repeated toggling, while the wiring that connects to outlets may deteriorate due to heat, moisture, or physical damage. Additionally, internal parts, such as springs and contacts, can become corroded or fail altogether, resulting in malfunction.

    If these seemingly minor issues are left unaddressed, they may escalate into more severe electrical problems, potentially leading to outages or even fire hazards. That’s where Mr. Electric of Columbia steps in. Our expert team conducts thorough evaluations to pinpoint the root cause of any electrical issues you’re experiencing. We prioritize safety and efficiency, implementing high-quality, long-lasting repairs that not only restore function but also provide you with dependable access to power and lighting in your home or business.

  • If you notice a loose plug, a blackened outlet, or the smell of something burning near a socket, it is time to call for a wall outlet repair. These symptoms may point to overheating or an electrical short. In other cases, an outlet may simply stop delivering power due to a worn-out internal contact or faulty wiring. Our repair services are designed to correct these issues efficiently and safely. Once we identify the source of the problem, we either repair or replace the outlet with a model that meets your needs and current electrical code requirements.

  • Light switch issues can include flickering lights, inconsistent control, or physical signs of wear, such as cracks or unusual noises. If your switch is buzzing, sparking, or not working at all, it should be inspected immediately. Malfunctioning switches may be caused by wiring problems, internal damage, or a mismatch with the fixture it controls. We offer repairs for standard toggle switches, dimmer switches, and smart models, making sure that the finished result is safe, reliable, and easy to use.
