FAQs
What types of electrical outlet services do you provide in Englewood?
Our licensed team handles everything related to receptacles: new outlet installation, replacement of worn or damaged outlets, conversion of two-prong to three-prong grounding outlets, GFCI and AFCI upgrades, USB and smart-outlet retrofits, exterior weather-resistant outlets, and troubleshooting of dead or sparking outlets. We also perform load calculations and circuit extensions so your new receptacles operate safely and meet Englewoodâs electrical code.
How do I know if my home needs outlet repair or full replacement?
Warning signs include outlets that feel hot, are discolored, spark when you plug devices in, no longer hold a plug firmly, trip breakers frequently, or have only two slots with no ground. If an outlet is cracked or loose, repair is impossibleâthe device must be replaced. Our electricians can test voltage, inspect wiring, and let you know whether a simple receptacle swap, wiring repair, or a larger circuit upgrade is the safest solution.
Are GFCI outlets required in certain areas of my Englewood home?
Yes. The National Electrical Code adopted by Englewood mandates GFCI protection for receptacles in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, laundry areas, exterior locations, and within 6 feet of any sink. We can replace standard outlets with GFCIs or install GFCI breakers to bring older homes up to code and greatly reduce the risk of shock.
Can you install USB or smart outlets, and will they require rewiring?
Absolutely. We install combination USB-charging outlets, Wi-Fiâenabled smart outlets, and tamper-resistant child-safety outlets. In most cases they fit in the existing electrical box with no rewiring required. If the box is too shallow or the circuit is already heavily loaded, we may recommend a deeper box or a dedicated circuit, which we can handle during the same visit.
How much does it cost to have an outlet installed, relocated, or upgraded?
Pricing depends on accessibility, attic or crawl-space work, and whether a new circuit is needed. In Englewood, a standard swap starts around $125 for the first outlet and $25â$40 for each additional. Installing a new outlet on an existing circuit typically ranges from $175 to $300, while running a dedicated line from the panel averages $325â$600. After a free on-site assessment we provide a firm, written quote before any work begins.
Why should I hire a licensed electrician instead of doing outlet work myself?
Improperly wired outlets can cause fires, electric shock, and damage to appliances. Colorado law requires that most electrical work be performed or supervised by a licensed electrician, and your homeownerâs insurance may deny claims for DIY electrical repairs. Our Englewood team is fully licensed, insured, and equipped with diagnostic tools to ensure every outlet is grounded, correctly polarized, and compliant with the latest code, giving you safety and peace of mind.
