FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my electrical outlets in my Englewood home?
Older two-prong or worn-out outlets are not designed for todayâs power demands and may lack essential safety features like grounding or surge protection. Upgrading reduces shock and fire risks, ensures compatibility with modern electronics, and can even improve your homeâs resale value by bringing the electrical system up to current code standards.
What types of outlet upgrades do you provide?
We install standard 3-prong grounded receptacles, GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for bedroom circuits, USB/USB-C charging outlets, tamper-resistant child-safe receptacles, and specialty outlets such as 20-amp or 240-volt receptacles for appliances and EV chargers.
How do I know if my existing outlets are outdated or unsafe?
Common warning signs include loose plugs, discolored or warm outlet covers, frequent tripped breakers, two-prong receptacles with no ground, or outlets located near water sources without GFCI protection. If your home was built before the 1990s and hasnât had an electrical upgrade, itâs wise to schedule an inspection.
Do outlet upgrades require permits or inspections in Englewood?
Yes. Per Englewood municipal code and Colorado electrical regulations, any work that involves adding new circuits, converting two-prong to three-prong, or installing GFCI/AFCI devices typically requires an electrical permit and subsequent inspection. We handle all permitting and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure full compliance.
How long does an outlet upgrade take and will my power be off?
Most single-outlet replacements take about 20â30 minutes. Whole-house upgrades can range from half a day to two days depending on the number of outlets and any wiring corrections needed. We shut off power only to the specific circuit weâre working on, so youâll still have electricity in the rest of the house.
What is the typical cost to upgrade electrical outlets in Englewood?
Prices vary by outlet type and wiring complexity. Standard grounded replacements average $65â$85 per outlet, GFCIs run $95â$125, and advanced USB or AFCI/GFCI combo receptacles range from $120â$150 each. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote after a site assessment, and all pricing includes parts, labor, permitting, and final inspection fees.
