FAQs
What varieties of electrical outlets do you supply and install in Georgetown?
We stock and professionally install a full range of residential and light-commercial outlets, including standard 15-amp and 20-amp duplex receptacles, GFCI units for kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas, weather-resistant models for patios or pool decks, tamper-resistant receptacles required by the National Electrical Code (NEC), AFCI outlets for added fire protection, combination USB/Type-C charging outlets, and Wi-Fi–enabled smart outlets that integrate with voice assistants.
Why are your electrical outlets considered “highest-quality materials”?
We specify commercial-grade thermoplastic or impact-resistant nylon housings, high-conductivity brass contacts, and heavy-duty steel mounting straps. These components withstand more insertions, resist heat buildup, and maintain a secure grip on plug blades, reducing nuisance arcing and premature wear. All products are UL-listed, CSA-certified, and sourced from reputable American manufacturers with robust quality-control programs.
Do your outlets meet all Georgetown and Texas electrical codes?
Yes. Every outlet we sell or install is tested and certified to the latest NEC and Texas electrical code amendments adopted by the City of Georgetown. Our licensed electricians pull permits when required, follow GFCI placement rules within 6 ft of water sources, use AFCI protection in sleeping areas, and ensure proper box fill, grounding, and labeling so your project passes final inspection without delays.
Can you upgrade existing receptacles to smart or USB outlets without rewiring the whole circuit?
In most cases, yes. If your current box is properly grounded and large enough, we can simply replace the old receptacle with a combination USB/Type-C or Wi-Fi smart outlet on the same 120-volt branch circuit. We test the wiring, tighten all connections, and update the breaker labeling. Only circuits lacking a ground or using aluminum conductors may need additional modifications, which we can evaluate during a free on-site estimate.
How do tamper-resistant and weather-resistant outlets enhance safety?
Tamper-resistant (TR) outlets contain internal spring-loaded shutters that block foreign objects, preventing childhood shocks without special caps. Weather-resistant (WR) outlets feature UV-stable plastics, corrosion-resistant metal parts, and tight gasketing to keep moisture out, maintaining safe performance in humid or outdoor environments. Both TR and WR ratings are mandated by code in specific locations, and they prolong outlet life while reducing electrical hazards.
What should I expect for cost and installation timeline when adding or replacing outlets?
For a straightforward swap of a standard outlet to a new high-grade duplex receptacle, pricing typically starts at $45–$65 per device with a one-hour minimum service call. USB or smart outlets range from $85–$150 each, including parts, setup, and Wi-Fi configuration. Projects involving new wiring runs, additional circuits, or AFCI/GFCI breaker upgrades are quoted after inspection. Most single-room upgrades are completed the same day; whole-house outlet overhauls usually take 1–2 days depending on quantity and accessibility.
