Outlet & Switch Repairs

Residential outlet and switch repairs are common due to issues such as loose connections, wear and tear, or outdated components, which can lead to electrical malfunctions or safety risks. Repairing or replacing faulty outlets and switches improves the electrical system’s reliability and ensures safe power access throughout the home. Regular maintenance can also help prevent potential fire hazards associated with worn-out or damaged parts.

    • Loose Outlets or Switches: Over time, outlets and switches may loosen from frequent use. Solution: Secure connections and use spacers or replacement screws to tighten the fixture.
    • Burnt or Damaged Outlets: Outlets can become damaged or discolored due to overheating or poor connections. Solution: Replace the outlet, inspect wiring, and ensure it can handle the connected devices’ load.
    • Non-Grounded Outlets: Older homes may have outlets without grounding, which can be unsafe. Solution: Upgrade outlets to grounded versions or install GFCI outlets in necessary locations.
    • Faulty Switches: Worn-out switches may stop working or become difficult to use. Solution: Replace with new, high-quality switches and check for any loose wiring connections.
    • Old Two-Prong Outlets: Outdated outlets may not support modern appliances. Solution: Replace two-prong outlets with grounded, three-prong outlets to enhance safety and compatibility.
    • GFCI Outlets in Wet Areas: Required in bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone areas for safety. Solution: Install or repair GFCI outlets to prevent electric shock risks.
