Switches and Outlet Replacements in Edgewood

You reach for a light switch and feel a slight spark. You plug in your phone, and the outlet is loose or doesn't hold the charger. These aren't just annoyances—they're warning signs that your home's outlets and switches need professional attention before they become safety hazards.

Our licensed electricians troubleshoot dead outlets, flickering switches, and tripped circuits with precision. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, faulty outlets and switches are involved in nearly 5,300 house fires annually. By upgrading to code-compliant, modern components, you dramatically reduce that risk while improving everyday convenience.

Common Outlet and Switch Issues We Solve

Homes in Edgewood, particularly those built before the 1990s, often feature outlets and switches that have deteriorated over decades of use. Loose connections create heat, which can damage wiring insulation and ignite surrounding materials.

We frequently encounter ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection near water sources, and switches that no longer make solid contact. These issues aren't always obvious until they fail completely—or worse, cause a shock or fire. The National Electrical Code mandates GFCI protection in specific areas, and homes without it are out of compliance and at higher risk.

Whether you need a single outlet replaced or a whole-home switch and outlet upgrade, we deliver tidy workmanship, code compliance, and lasting results. Our team uses quality materials, secures all connections properly, and tests every installation before we leave. Contact us today for Switches and Outlet Replacements in Edgewood.
