## Outlet & Switch Installation in Nevada City, CA

Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry and outdoor receptacles in Nevada City 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.

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 Nevada City

### Only two outlets in the room

Older Nevada City 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.

### 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 Nevada 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.

Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.

Our restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.

## Outlet & Switch Installation in Nevada City — 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.

Can you install smart switches and outlets?

Yes. The catch is that many smart devices need a neutral in the switch box, which older Nevada City 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.

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Nevada City?

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 Nevada City home?

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