Electrical Outlet Replacement Services

Over time, general use and wear-and-tear can cause your electrical outlets to become broken or damaged. Damaged electrical outlets can be dangerous to use, putting you and your family at risk of an electrical fire if not taken care of appropriately. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that faulty electrical outlets cause 5,300 electrical fires a years, claiming around 40 lives and injuring 110 people.

The receptacles themselves can even deteriorate from frequent use, causing plugs to fit loosely in outlets. When this happens, outlets can overheat and pose potential fire hazards if they are not replaced. In addition, outlets may have poor internal connections or faulty wiring. This can also cause the outlet to overheat and potentially even emit sparks. Give us a call to replace your damaged, deteriorated, or malfunctioning outlets to guard against electrical fires and electrocution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what type of electrical outlet I need?

The type of electrical outlet you need will depend on the type of electrical devices or appliances you need the system to support. For instance, a 30- or 50-amp receptacle is required for many heavy-duty appliances, including dishwashers, stoves, and power tools.

Can electrical outlets go bad?

Electrical outlets can go bad for several reasons, including general wear and tear, loose connections, and internal damage. Look out for signs of a damaged outlet to plan your replacement needs accordingly. Signs include sparking, overheating, or failure to power plugged-in devices.

How can I tell if I have a defective outlet?

You may have a defective outlet on your hands if you notice signs like scorch marks or buzzing noises, or the outlet feels loose as you plug in your electrical devices. It’s critical to have these problems addressed promptly to avoid further damage to your system.

How many outlets can be on one circuit?

The number of outlets that can be connected to a single circuit depends on the electrical codes in your specific area as well as the circuit’s capacity. In general, most home circuits can manage 15 to 20 amps with eight to 12 outlets connected.

How can I safely test an outlet?

To safely test your outlet, use a voltage tester or outlet tester as these tools are specifically designed to verify whether electricity adequately flows to your system. If you are uncomfortable using these tools, contact a skilled electrician to conduct a professional inspection.

What is the difference between an electrical receptacle and an electrical outlet?

While the terms “receptacle” and “outlet” are often used interchangeably, a receptacle technically refers to the device into which you plug cords, while an outlet is the term used for the entire unit, including the receptacle, cover plate, and box.

Which side of an electrical outlet is hot?

In a standard outlet setup, the slot on the left side is hot (usually indicated by a black or red wire), while the larger slot on the right is neutral (usually indicated by a white wire).
