GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our switch and outlet services. If you don’t see your question here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team for assistance.

Why is my outlet not working?

A dead outlet can be caused by several issues, ranging from a tripped circuit breaker or GFCI to a loose wire or a faulty outlet. Our electricians can quickly diagnose the root cause and perform a safe repair.

When should I replace my outlets?

You should consider replacing outlets if they are old (especially two-pronged outlets), discolored, cracked, or if plugs fit loosely. Upgrading is also recommended to add GFCI protection or modern features like USB ports.

What is a GFCI outlet, and where do I need one?

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet is a safety device that quickly cuts power to prevent electric shock. The National Electrical Code requires them in areas near water, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor spaces.

Can you install a dimmer switch for my lights?

Absolutely. We can replace almost any standard light switch with a compatible dimmer switch. This is a great way to add ambiance and control over your lighting while also saving energy.

What's the difference between a switch repair and replacement?

A repair might involve tightening a loose wire, while a replacement is necessary if the internal mechanism of the switch is broken or worn out. Our technicians will assess the switch and recommend the most cost-effective and safest solution.
