Outlet & Switch Repair and Installation

Power exactly where you need it.

Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit in Central Texas typically costs $150–$400; replacing a device with a GFCI, USB-C or smart switch is usually $125–$250. Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas and exteriors require GFCI protection under current code.

Not enough outlets, two-prong outlets that won't take modern plugs, a kitchen without GFCI protection: these are small problems with real safety implications. We repair, replace and add outlets and switches throughout the home, matched to your décor and to code.

Signs you need outlets & switches

  • Outlets that are loose, cracked, warm or discolored
  • Two-prong outlets or no GFCI in kitchens, baths or outdoors
  • Extension cords running across rooms
  • Switches that buzz, spark or feel hot
  • You want USB-C, smart switches, dimmers or floor outlets

What's included

  • New outlets on existing or new dedicated circuits
  • GFCI and AFCI protection where required
  • USB-A / USB-C combo outlets and smart switches
  • Three-way and four-way switching
  • Outdoor weather-resistant outlets with in-use covers

What affects the price

Most outlets & switches projects in Central Texas land between $150–$400. Where yours falls depends on:

  • Existing vs. new dedicated circuit
  • Wall type and attic access
  • Device type (standard, GFCI, USB, smart)

Outlets & Switches FAQ

Can you add an outlet without running a new circuit?

Often, yes. If an existing circuit has capacity and is nearby, we can extend it. High-draw locations (kitchen counters, home offices with heavy equipment, freezers) are better on a dedicated circuit.

Where are GFCI outlets required?

Current code requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens (all receptacles), garages, outdoors, laundry areas, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, and within 6 feet of sinks, among other places.

Is it safe to replace two-prong outlets with three-prong?

Only if there's a ground wire present, or if the outlet is protected by a GFCI and labeled 'No Equipment Ground.' We'll check what's in the box and give you the code-compliant option.
