FAQs
What types of electrical outlets can Precise Installations Electrical install in my Jacksboro home or business?
We install the full range of modern outlets, including standard 15- and 20-amp receptacles, GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter) outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, garages and outdoor areas, AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter) outlets for added fire protection, tamper-resistant outlets required by code in homes with children, weather-resistant exterior outlets, and combination USB/USB-C charging receptacles. If you have specialty power needsâsuch as 240-volt circuits for dryers, EV chargers or workshop equipmentâwe can install the correct outlet and breaker as well.
How do I know if my existing outlets need to be replaced?
Common warning signs include loose plugs that fall out, cracked or scorched faceplates, buzzing or sizzling sounds, frequent tripped breakers, or outlets that feel warm to the touch. Outlets without three-prong grounding, GFCI protection in wet areas, or ones installed before 2008 may no longer meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. If you notice any of these issues, schedule an inspectionâour technicians can test the circuit, determine the cause, and recommend repair or replacement before a shock or fire occurs.
Are GFCI outlets required everywhere now?
The NEC requires GFCI protection in areas where water is present or where grounding is unreliableâkitchens (within 6 ft of a sink), bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, exterior receptacles, and pool/spa areas. In Jacksboro, these national rules are enforced by local inspectors. If your home was wired before these codes went into effect, upgrading to GFCI outlets is one of the simplest, most affordable safety improvements you can make.
How long will an outlet installation take, and will my power be shut off?
A straightforward replacement of an existing outlet usually takes 15â30 minutes with only the circuit at that location turned off. Adding a brand-new outlet to an existing wall can take 1â2 hours, including fishing cable, installing a new box, and making all terminations. For heavier 240-volt or outdoor circuits that require running new conduit from the panel, plan on 3â4 hours. We isolate only the affected circuits, so the rest of your property keeps power throughout the work.
Is it safe to install outlets myself, or should I hire a licensed electrician?
While swapping an outlet might look simple, there are hidden risksâincorrect wiring can cause shocks, damage appliances, or lead to electrical fires months later. Texas law requires a licensed electrician for most wiring tasks in homes and all work in businesses. Our master-licensed team in Jacksboro ensures the circuit is de-energized, verifies correct polarity, grounding, and breaker sizing, and pulls permits when necessary. Hiring a pro protects your safety, keeps insurance valid, and guarantees your project passes inspection.
How much does a new outlet installation cost in Jacksboro, and what factors affect the price?
Prices start around $95 for a like-for-like replacement of a standard receptacle when combined with other work. Adding a new outlet off an existing circuit typically ranges from $150â$250, depending on wall type and cable length. GFCI, USB or tamper-resistant models add $15â$40 per outlet in material cost. Dedicated 20-amp kitchen circuits or 240-volt dryer/EV outlets that require panel space and new wiring usually run $250â$600. Factors impacting price include distance from the electrical panel, attic or crawl-space access, wall construction (drywall vs masonry), permit fees and any necessary drywall repair. We provide up-front, written estimates with no hidden charges.
