    Electrical Outlet Repairs

    Outlets can wear down over time, especially in areas where they are frequently used or exposed to moisture. If you notice discoloration around the outlet faceplate, plugs that fall out easily, or a burning smell, it’s time to consider a professional evaluation. We provide wall outlet repair services for all types of issues, from loose wiring to completely non-functional outlets. Whether it’s a single outlet or a series of them throughout the property, we can identify the source of the problem and perform lasting repairs.

    Common warning signs that an outlet may need attention include:

    • Plugs that no longer stay securely in place
    • Intermittent power to connected devices
    • Buzzing, popping, or crackling noises when in use
    • Black marks, melted components, or heat coming from the outlet
    • A breaker that frequently trips when the outlet is used

    These symptoms can indicate wiring problems, faulty connections, or outdated hardware. Our team provides thorough diagnostics and repairs, ensuring your wall outlets function safely and reliably.

Light Switch Repairs

A light switch that doesn't work properly is an inconvenience and could even point to potential hazards. It can signal a larger issue within your electrical system. If a switch feels warm, makes noise when flipped, or occasionally fails to turn lights on or off, it should be inspected as soon as possible. We handle repairs for single-pole, three-way, and dimmer switches, correcting faulty wiring, replacing damaged components, and testing the circuit to confirm proper operation.

Modern homes often have a variety of switch types, including smart switches and multi-gang panels. No matter the style or setup, we offer dependable repairs to restore your lighting control. If the switch’s internal parts have worn out or if there are signs of corrosion, we can recommend whether a repair or replacement is the better option.

  • Beyond repairs, we also provide installation and upgrade services for outlets and light switches. Whether you are renovating a space, adding more convenience to your home, or updating for safety and code compliance, we can help you install light switches and sockets that meet your needs.

    Some of our most requested upgrades include:

    • Installing dimmer switches to adjust light levels in bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces
    • Adding USB-equipped outlets to charge phones and tablets without adapters
    • Replacing older outlets with GFCI or tamper-resistant models for improved safety
    • Installing additional outlets where needed, such as in garages or outdoor patios
    • Updating switches with modern rocker or smart switch options for easier operation and automation

    Upgrades like these not only improve the usability of your home’s electrical system, they also increase safety and energy efficiency. Our team ensures that every outlet or switch installation is completed to meet current electrical codes and is properly integrated with your system.
