  • Electrical outlets wear out over time, just like any other component in your home. Knowing when to call for help can protect your household from potential electrical hazards. Discoloration or charring around an outlet faceplate can signal overheating, while crackling or popping sounds may indicate damaged wiring inside the wall. Loose outlets that no longer grip plugs firmly can lead to intermittent power and may be a sign of a worn or damaged connection.

  • If there is a burning odor or there is smoke coming from an outlet, immediately shut off the power to that area and contact a professional right away. These symptoms could suggest an immediate safety issue requiring inspection and repair. In many cases, these problems can be resolved quickly, but addressing them as soon as they arise is essential for preventing more serious electrical issues down the line.

When You Should Replace Outlets Instead of Repair Them

In some situations, repairing an existing outlet may not be enough to meet your home’s electrical needs or ensure safety. Older homes may still use outdated two-prong outlets, which lack the grounding necessary to safely power modern appliances and electronics. Even newer outlets can fall short when overloaded with devices or used in areas where moisture and power usage demand more protective measures.

If your current outlet configuration no longer supports your lifestyle, upgrading to newer outlets may be the better choice. A new power outlet installation can provide the capacity and durability needed to safely accommodate your daily routine. This might include adding outlets to support home office equipment, large appliances, or updated entertainment systems.

A power outlet installation is also ideal when converting rooms or remodeling. For example, finishing a basement or garage often requires new outlets installed in accordance with local code. Rather than relying on extension cords or overloaded power strips, having dedicated outlets installed in the right places can help you use your space more efficiently and safely.

  • Mr. Electric of Hattiesburg offers more than just repairs. We provide complete electrical outlet solutions that help you keep pace with the changing demands of modern life. Safety is often a top priority, which is why we recommend installing GFCI outlets in locations where water is present. These outlets help prevent electric shock by cutting power when an imbalance in current is detected. They are required in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas, and outdoor spaces under current electrical codes.

    Another safety upgrade we offer is tamper-resistant outlets. These are very important in homes with children, because they have built-in shutters that prevent objects from being inserted into the slots.

    For added functionality, we can also install USB outlets to make charging your devices easier without the need for bulky adapters. Outdoor outlets expand your ability to use lighting, power tools, or entertainment equipment outside. If you’ve recently added an electric vehicle to your household or installed energy-intensive appliances like dryers or ovens, we can install 240-volt outlets designed for those power requirements.

    We’re committed to helping you build an electrical system that works for your household today and into the future. Whether your needs are centered on safety, convenience, or capacity, we’ll help you find the right combination of upgrades and services to meet your goals.
