FAQs

How often should electrical outlets be inspected in Morristown homes?

For most residences we recommend a professional outlet inspection every 3–5 years, or immediately after purchasing an older home. Morristown follows New Jersey’s adoption of the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), which stresses routine safety checks to catch loose connections, heat damage and outdated receptacles before they become hazards.

What are the common signs that an electrical outlet needs maintenance or replacement?

Call us if you notice any of these issues: outlets that feel hot, emit a burning smell, spark when you plug in devices, have discolored cover plates, feel loose or no longer hold plugs firmly, or trip breakers repeatedly. These symptoms indicate worn contacts, overloaded circuits or wiring faults that should be addressed right away to prevent shock or fire.

Do you install GFCI and AFCI outlets, and why are they important in Morristown?

Yes. Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, basements and exterior locations, while Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protection is now mandated for most living spaces under the NEC. Both devices shut power off in milliseconds to protect against shock and electrical fires, which is especially valuable in Morristown’s mix of historic and newly built homes.

What is included in your electrical outlet maintenance service visit?

A typical service call includes: (1) visual inspection of all accessible receptacles and cover plates; (2) thermal imaging or infrared temperature check for hot spots; (3) testing of voltage, grounding and polarity; (4) tightening of terminal screws and replacement of worn back-wire clamps; (5) labeling and function test of GFCI/AFCI devices; and (6) a written report outlining any code deficiencies or recommendations.

Are your electricians licensed to work in Morristown, and will you handle permits if needed?

Every technician we dispatch holds a New Jersey Electrical Contractor license (NJEC) and is fully insured. For outlet replacements one-for-one, no permit is normally required, but larger jobs—such as adding new receptacle circuits—may trigger local permitting. In those cases, we prepare the paperwork and coordinate inspections with the Town of Morristown Building Department at no extra hassle to you.

How much does it cost to repair or replace an electrical outlet, and do you offer warranties?

Prices start at $145 for a single standard outlet replacement, $195–$225 for GFCI installations, and $275+ for AFCI or combo devices, including parts and labor. Volume discounts apply when you upgrade multiple outlets in one visit. All workmanship is covered by our 1-year labor warranty, and manufacturer warranties on parts typically extend 2–5 years.
