## Outlet & Switch Installation in Alhambra, CA

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

## Situations we see in Alhambra

### 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.

### Only two outlets in the room

Older Alhambra 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.

## Reviews from Los Angeles County

★★★★★

Zinsco panel replaced. Straight quote, one day of work, and they handled the utility disconnect scheduling so I didn't have to call anyone.

★★★★★

Flickering through the whole house turned out to be a loose neutral at the service. They found it in under an hour when two other companies had shrugged.

Bill T.Troubleshooting · Alhambra
★★★★★

Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.

## Outlet & Switch Installation in Alhambra — questions

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.

Do I need GFCI outlets in my Alhambra 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 install smart switches and outlets?

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

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

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.
