Done Safely and to Code
Replacing a device looks simple, but the wrong outlet type, a missing ground or a loose connection can create a hazard. We match the device to the circuit, check for proper grounding and protection, and test every outlet and switch we install.
Outlet and Switch FAQs
Can I replace a two-prong outlet with a three-prong outlet?
Only if the outlet is properly grounded, or if it is protected by a GFCI and labeled as having no equipment ground. Simply swapping the outlet without one of these is unsafe.
Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?
Common causes are moisture in an outdoor box, a faulty appliance on the circuit or a worn-out GFCI. If it trips often, have the circuit checked.
