FAQs

What types of electrical outlets can you install or replace in Grandview homes and businesses?

Our licensed Grandview electricians install and replace every common outlet style, including 15-amp and 20-amp duplex receptacles, GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter) outlets, AFCI (arc-fault circuit-interrupter) outlets, combo GFCI/AFCI units, tamper-resistant (TR) outlets, weather-resistant receptacles for outdoor use, four-plex and commercial grade outlets, as well as smart and USB-charging receptacles. We can also upgrade two-prong ungrounded outlets to modern three-prong grounded ones to meet current safety codes.

How can I tell if my existing outlets need to be upgraded or replaced?

Warning signs include plugs that feel loose or fall out, outlets that are warm to the touch, discoloration or burn marks, crackling sounds, frequent breaker trips when the outlet is used, or outlets with only two prongs (no ground). If you have remodeled or added high-demand appliances such as space heaters, microwaves, or window A/C units, the circuit may also need a 20-amp outlet and wiring upgrade. An inspection by our Grandview electricians will pinpoint deficiencies and verify that your receptacles meet current NEC safety standards.

Are tamper-resistant (TR) outlets required by electrical code in Grandview, MO?

Yes. Grandview follows the National Electrical Code (NEC), and since the 2008 NEC edition, tamper-resistant receptacles are mandated for most 15- and 20-amp, 125-volt outlets in dwellings, including bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and play areas. The shutter mechanism inside a TR outlet prevents children from inserting foreign objects, dramatically reducing shock hazards. When we perform new installations or major replacements, we always use TR-rated devices to keep your project code-compliant and safe.

Can you add USB or smart outlets to my existing wall boxes without rewiring the whole house?

In many cases, yes. Most USB-charging and Wi-Fi smart receptacles are designed to fit standard single-gang electrical boxes. Our technician verifies that the existing box is deep enough for the larger device body, confirms the circuit’s load capacity, and ensures a proper ground. If everything checks out, we can swap your old receptacle for a modern USB or smart outlet in about 30–45 minutes. Where box depth or wiring is inadequate, we can install a new old-work box or run a dedicated circuit if desired.

What is a GFCI outlet and where should it be installed?

A GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter) outlet constantly monitors current flow and shuts off power in milliseconds if it detects an imbalance, protecting you from electric shock in wet or damp environments. The NEC requires GFCI protection for outlets in bathrooms, kitchens (within 6 ft of a sink), laundry rooms, garages, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, exterior locations, and around pools or spas. Our Grandview electricians can retrofit GFCI devices in these areas or install upstream GFCI breakers that protect multiple downstream outlets.

How much does it cost and how long does it take to have an outlet installed by your Grandview electricians?

A straightforward replacement of a standard outlet typically ranges from $125–$175, including parts, labor, and a basic safety check. Upgrades to GFCI, USB, or smart outlets generally run $150–$250 per device, depending on features and any box or wiring adjustments needed. New outlet installations that require running cable through walls start around $225 per outlet, with final pricing based on circuit length, wall type, and attic/crawl-space accessibility. Most replacements are completed in 20–45 minutes each, while a new outlet run may take 1–2 hours. We provide a written estimate upfront and can often schedule same-day or next-day service within Grandview city limits.
