FAQs
What are the most common reasons homeowners in Elora choose to upgrade or replace their electrical outlets?
Clients typically request outlet upgrades when they renovate, need more receptacles for modern electronics, experience loose or sparking plugs, or want safer GFCI/AFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and outdoor spaces. Upgrading also ensures compliance with the current Ontario Electrical Code and can boost a homeâs resale value.
Do you install GFCI, AFCI, and tamper-resistant outlets, and how do they improve safety?
Yes. Our licensed electricians install GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets to protect against shock in wet areas, AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets to reduce fire risks caused by arcing, and tamper-resistant outlets that prevent children from inserting objects. These devices trip instantly when they detect unsafe conditions, offering an extra layer of protection beyond standard breakers.
How much does it cost to add or replace an electrical outlet in Elora?
Pricing depends on the outlet type, wiring distance, and accessibility. A straightforward replacement of a standard receptacle usually starts around $125, while installing a new circuit with a GFCI, USB combo, or specialty outlet can range from $200 to $450. We provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Can you add modern features like USB-charging or smart outlets to my existing wiring?
Absolutely. We carry USB-integrated duplex outlets, Wi-Fi enabled smart receptacles, and 20-amp or specialty outlets for appliances. After assessing your panel capacity and wiring, we can usually swap a conventional receptacle for a smart or USB model in under an hour without significant drywall repairs.
How long will an outlet installation or replacement take, and will my power be off the whole time?
Most single-outlet replacements take 30â45 minutes. Adding a new outlet from an existing circuit typically takes 1â2 hours, while running a new circuit from the panel may take half a day. We shut off power only to the circuit weâre working on, keeping the rest of your home powered.
