## Outlet & Switch Installation in Downey, CA

Extension cords under rugs and power strips daisy-chained behind the sofa are the two most common things we find in Downey 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 Downey

### 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.

### No GFCI in the kitchen or bath

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

### Only two outlets in the room

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

## Reviews from Los Angeles County

★★★★★

GFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.

Six recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.

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 Downey — 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.

Do I need GFCI outlets in my Downey home?

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

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

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 Downey homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.

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.
