Common questions about outlet installation in San Diego
Where are GFCI outlets required?
Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, crawl spaces, basements and outdoor locations all need GFCI protection under current code. We can protect several outlets from one GFCI device or breaker.
Can I replace two-prong outlets with three-prong?
Only if a ground is present or GFCI protection is added. We test each location in your San Diego property and use the correct method. Widespread ungrounded wiring may point to rewiring.
Why is my outlet warm?
A warm outlet usually means a loose connection or an overloaded circuit. Stop using it and call (888) 633-7804. See electrical repair.
Do you install smart switches and dimmers?
Yes, including models that need a neutral wire. See smart home wiring and lighting installation.
From recent customers
Smart switches, a video doorbell and new neutrals in a few old switch boxes. Everything works with our app and the old three-way finally makes sense.
Twelve recessed lights and two dimmers in the living room, done in a day with no patching needed. The layout advice alone was worth the call.
I called about one dead bathroom outlet. The electrician found a failed GFCI upstream, replaced it, tested every outlet on the circuit and was gone in under an hour.
