## Outlet & Switch Installation done properly

Extension cords under rugs and power strips daisy-chained behind the sofa are the two most common things we find in California homes, and both trace back to the same problem: not enough outlets in the right places.

We work statewide, and every quote is a flat price for a defined scope. Find your city below for local detail and a local page, or call and we will tell you what the job looks like for your address.

## Common situations

### Only two outlets in the room

Older your city bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.

### No GFCI in the kitchen or bath

Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.

### Outlet won't hold a plug

Worn contacts. A loose receptacle arcs under load, and replacement is a ten-minute job worth doing immediately.

### Need power on a kitchen island

Islands need receptacles, and we can bring them up cleanly through a cabinet or a pop-up device without tearing up the counter.

## Questions about outlet & switch installation

How much does it cost to add an outlet in California?

A new receptacle on an existing nearby circuit is the low end. Cost rises if we have to run a new home run from the panel or open finished walls. Call (833) 652-8933 and we will quote your specific spot.

Do I need GFCI outlets in my California home?

In kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, unfinished basements and anywhere outdoors, yes. If your house predates those requirements it very likely has none.

Can you add an outlet on an outside wall?

Yes, with a weather-resistant receptacle and an in-use cover. That is the correct assembly for a location exposed to rain or sprinklers.

What is a dedicated circuit and do I need one?

It is a circuit serving one appliance only. Microwaves, window AC units, space heaters and shop tools all want one, and it is the permanent fix for a breaker that trips whenever two things run at once.

Can you install smart switches and outlets?

Yes. The catch is that many smart devices need a neutral in the switch box, which older California homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.
