2. Common Electrical Switch & Outlet Issues
Over time, electrical switches and outlets can wear out, become damaged, simply not meet your needs, or you just need new one. Here are some common issues we help with:
-
Outdated or Faulty Outlets
Old or faulty outlets can cause power disruptions, sparking, or even fires if not addressed. If your outlets are not working properly, it’s time for a replacement. -
Overloaded Outlets
Using too many devices in a single outlet can lead to overheating and tripped breakers. Adding new outlets can help alleviate this issue. -
Broken or Loose Switches
If your light switches are not functioning properly—either not turning on/off or being too loose—replacing them with new, secure switches is important for safety. -
Insufficient Outlets
With modern technology, the need for outlets is greater than ever. Installing additional outlets in key areas of your home can increase convenience and reduce the need for extension cords.

Electrical issues such as faulty switches or outlets can create serious safety hazards if left unaddressed. Here are some risks associated with outdated or broken switches and outlets:
Electrical Shocks: Damaged or faulty outlets and switches increase the risk of electrical shock, which can be dangerous, particularly in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Fire Hazards: Overloaded outlets, faulty wiring, or short circuits caused by damaged switches can lead to fires.
Inconvenience: Outdated or non-functioning outlets and switches can make using modern devices difficult and frustrating.

5. Signs You Need Switch and Outlet Services
If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to call in a professional for an inspection and possible replacement:
Sparking or Burning Smell: Sparks or the smell of burning when using an outlet or switch is a serious sign of an electrical problem that should be addressed immediately.
Frequent Breaker Trips: If your circuit breaker trips frequently when using specific outlets, the outlet may be overloaded or faulty.
Unresponsive Switches: If your light switches or power outlets don’t work properly—whether they’re stuck, not responding, or turning off/on inconsistently—it’s time for a replacement.
Outlets That Feel Warm to the Touch: Outlets that become warm can indicate an overload or faulty wiring, which could be dangerous.
