Outlet & switch relocation 5 star rated on Google License #1116554
Relocate electrical outlet in Bakersfield
Pricing and availability updated for 2026
Move outlets and switches where you actually need them—kitchen remodels, furniture layouts, TV walls, and garage workshops. We quote after photos, fish wire when access allows, and leave devices code-correct in Bakersfield and Kern County.
Relocating devices is not “the same as adding an outlet.” We have to plan the path, confirm the circuit can reach the new box, and retire or blank old boxes the right way. We serve Bakersfield and Kern County for relocate outlets or switches. Call (661) 293-0213 or request a quote—most straightforward moves are same-day once we have seen the site.

Each answer links to a short guide—good context before you book.
How much does it cost to relocate an outlet?
Distance, wall type, and whether we extend or homerun a circuit drive the price. Same-bay moves are usually simpler than cross-room fishing.
Read the full guide Can I move a light switch to the other side of a wall?
Often yes—especially with attic access. Multi-way switches need the traveler wiring planned before we cut.

Relocate outlets or switches FAQ
Outlet & switch relocation questions
How much does it cost to move an outlet?
Straightforward moves on the same wall or with good attic access often land in the same ballpark as a new outlet install; cross-room fishing, exterior walls, or 240V moves cost more. We quote on site.
Can you move a 3-way switch?
Yes—we identify travelers and commons before we disconnect anything so the lights still work from every location.
Will you patch drywall?
We handle small patches tied to our openings. Larger cosmetic work may be a separate painter job—we tell you upfront.
Do I need a permit?
Some jurisdictions require permits for new circuits or service changes. We advise when a permit applies before we start.
Can you add an outlet where the old switch was?
Often yes if the circuit has capacity and the room allows that outlet type. We verify load and code rules first.
