## Outlet & Switch Installation in Los Altos Hills, CA

Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry and outdoor receptacles in Los Altos Hills all require GFCI protection, and older homes routinely have none of it. Adding protection is fast, inexpensive and among the highest-value electrical work you can do.

## Situations we see in Los Altos Hills

### 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 Los Altos Hills bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.

### 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.

### 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 Santa Clara County

★★★★★

Standby generator install. They sized it to what we actually use rather than the biggest unit, then walked me through the transfer switch and the exercise cycle.

Renee B.Generator · Los Altos Hills
★★★★★

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

★★★★★

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

## Outlet & Switch Installation in Los Altos Hills — questions

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Los Altos Hills?

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 Los Altos Hills 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.

Do I need GFCI outlets in my Los Altos Hills 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.
