Outlet and switch repair
A dead plug is often a GFCI you have not reset, a loose splice in the box, or a worn switch—not random bad luck. We pull the plate, meter hot/neutral/ground, and fix what the readings show.
- Follow the circuit past the first dead device: kitchen/bath GFCIs, multi-way travelers, stab connections that let go.
- Replace bad outlets or switches, remake loose wire nuts, and bring in AFCI/GFCI where the code for your room type calls for it.
- Flip breakers back on with you and test every switch or outlet we touched before we close up.
Adding new receptacles or a homerun—not fixing something that quit working? See outlet and switch installation . Say “new install” when you call so we line up the right visit.
What to do next
Call or use the form at the bottom. A sentence on what changed and when beats “it just stopped”—we route the right tech and a realistic window.
- What changed and what is not working right now
- Any buzz, heat, or burnt smell happening now (say yes outright)
- A quick photo of the outlet or switch (optional but helps)
When to call for a repair
Dead outlet or switch
Often it is a loose wire, a GFCI you forgot about two rooms away, or a worn switch—we walk the chain instead of guessing.
Sparking or discoloration
Unplug what you can and call. We make it safe first, then repair whatever burned or worked loose.
GFCI keeps tripping
If it trips again right after reset, something is still wrong—we look for moisture, bad devices, and wiring trouble, not another band-aid reset.

What should I send so you can quote without a long back-and-forth?
Photos, safe access to the panel when possible, and a short note on the goal or symptom. If a permit is in play, we spell out the sequence before we start.
Do you warranty your repair workmanship?
We stand behind workmanship on the repairs we perform. If something we fixed fails because of our work, we make it right. Call us and we will review what happened.
What if the problem comes back after the visit?

Simple swaps can be an hour or two. Diagnostics for mystery trips can take longer because rushing tests creates wrong fixes.
