FAQs
What types of electrical outlet upgrades do you provide in Morristown?
Our licensed electricians install and service standard 15- and 20-amp receptacles, GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for kitchens, baths, garages, basements, and outdoor areas, AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for bedroom circuits, 240-volt outlets for large appliances and EV chargers, tamper-resistant receptacles for child safety, and the latest USB-integrated and Wi-Fi smart outlets that let you monitor and control power from your phone.
How do I know if I need to replace my existing outlets?
Warning signs include plugs that feel loose or fall out, outlets that are hot to the touch or discolored, frequent tripped breakers, buzzing or crackling sounds, a noticeable burning smell, or outlets with only two slots and no grounding hole. Any of these symptoms mean the receptacle is unsafe or out of code and should be inspected and replaced by a qualified electrician as soon as possible.
Are GFCI outlets required in New Jersey homes, and where should they be installed?
Yes. New Jersey follows the National Electrical Code (NEC), which mandates GFCI protection in areas where moisture increases shock risk. That includes kitchens (countertop outlets), bathrooms, laundry rooms, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, garages, exterior receptacles, and any outlet within 6 feet of a sink. Our team can retrofit older circuits with GFCI protection quickly and ensure you meet the latest code version adopted in Morristown.
Can you install USB or smart outlets in older homes?
Absolutely. USB-capable and smart receptacles fit standard electrical boxes. We first inspect your wiring to confirm the circuit amperage and grounding are adequate, then replace the existing receptacle with the new device. For smart outlets, we help set up the Wi-Fi connection and any companion app. If the homeâs wiring is outdated (e.g., knob-and-tube or ungrounded two-wire), weâll recommend safe, code-compliant upgrades before installation.
How long does a typical outlet installation or replacement take?
A straightforward swap of a single standard receptacle usually takes 15â30 minutes once power is shut off to the circuit. Installing GFCI, AFCI, or USB outlets, or adding a new outlet location, can take 30â90 minutes depending on wiring accessibility and wall surface type. If new wiring runs, drywall cuts, or panel upgrades are required, the job may extend to several hours. We always provide a clear time estimate after an on-site assessment.
Do you offer emergency services for outlet problems in Morristown?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response for sparking outlets, partial power loss, burning smells, or any situation that poses a fire or shock hazard. A licensed electrician will arrive promptly, isolate the faulty circuit, and perform repairs or temporary safeguards to keep your family safe until a permanent fix can be completed.
