FAQs
What kinds of innovative electrical outlets do you install in New Market?
We carry and install a full range of next-generation outlets, including USB-integrated receptacles, Wi-Fi–enabled smart plugs, tamper-resistant GFCI/AFCI combinations, recessed flat-profile outlets for TVs and kitchen backsplashes, and 20-amp “high-draw” outlets for appliances or EV chargers. All models are UL-listed, meet 2023 NEC standards, and are selected to match your décor and power-usage needs.
Are smart outlets compatible with the existing wiring in my older New Market home?
In most cases, yes. Standard smart outlets are designed to fit a traditional single-gang box and operate on 120 V, 15 A branch circuits. During our free assessment we check grounding, box depth, and conductor condition. If your wiring lacks a neutral or has knob-and-tube, we can usually upgrade the circuit or add a micro-module to ensure safe compatibility without extensive wall demolition.
How much does it cost to install an innovative outlet, and do you offer package pricing?
A single smart or USB outlet installation typically ranges from $110–$185, which includes the device, labor, and disposal of the old receptacle. Adding GFCI/AFCI protection runs about $30 more per location. For whole-home upgrades we offer tiered packages that can reduce per-unit costs by up to 25 %. You receive an upfront, itemized quote with no hidden fees, and we honor our price for 30 days.
What safety advantages do modern outlets provide over traditional receptacles?
Today’s outlets incorporate several layers of protection: tamper-resistant shutters to prevent children from inserting objects, integrated GFCI (ground-fault) and AFCI (arc-fault) circuitry to shut off power in milliseconds, surge suppression to guard sensitive electronics, and heat-sensing chips that cut power if the device becomes overloaded. Many smart models also let you monitor load current on your phone, so you can detect problems early.
Do your outlet upgrades comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC)?
Absolutely. All work is performed by licensed New Market electricians who pull the required permits and schedule county inspections when needed. We adhere to the latest NEC (2023) guidelines for outlet spacing, GFCI/AFCI placement, and load calculations, and we also follow Alabama’s local amendments. Upon completion you receive documentation for your records and insurance purposes.
How long will the installation take, and will my power be off during the process?
Most single-outlet swaps take 20–30 minutes, while multi-room projects can be completed in half a day. We isolate only the circuit we’re working on, so the rest of your home remains powered. If a panel upgrade is required, full-home power may be off for 1–2 hours; we schedule that around your convenience and provide temporary lighting if necessary.
