## Outlet & Switch Installation in Desert Hot Springs, CA

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

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in Desert Hot Springs

### No GFCI in the kitchen or bath

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

### 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 Desert Hot Springs bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.

### Outlet won't hold a plug

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

## Reviews from Riverside County

★★★★★

Breaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.

Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.

Kitchen breaker kept popping whenever we ran the microwave and kettle. They put in a dedicated circuit instead of just telling us to use one appliance at a time.

## Outlet & Switch Installation in Desert Hot Springs — questions

Do I need GFCI outlets in my Desert Hot Springs home?

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

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.

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Desert Hot Springs?

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.

Can you install smart switches and outlets?

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

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.
