Outlet and Switch Installation FAQs

Can you add an outlet without tearing up the wall?

In most cases, yes. We fish cable from a nearby outlet, the attic or the crawl space and cut only the opening for the new box.

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 California 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.
