FAQs
What types of electrical outlets can you install or replace in New Market homes?
Our licensed electricians can install or replace standard 120-volt duplex receptacles, GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for added fire protection, USB-integrated outlets for device charging, 240-volt outlets for large appliances or EV chargers, and tamper-resistant outlets required by current code. We carry products from reputable brands and match the outlet style and color to your décor.
How do I know if my existing outlets need to be upgraded or repaired?
Warning signs include outlets that feel warm or look discolored, plugs that fall out easily, frequent tripped breakers, sparking when you insert a plug, or two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles in an older home. If you notice any of these issues, schedule an inspection. We use professional testers to check voltage, grounding, and load capacity, then recommend repair, rewiring, or replacement to keep your electrical system safe and code-compliant.
Why are GFCI outlets important, and where are they required?
GFCI outlets monitor the flow of electricity and shut off power in as little as 1/40 of a second if they detect a ground fault, greatly reducing the risk of electrical shock. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCIs in all wet or damp locations—kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, crawl spaces, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Our team can retrofit GFCIs in any area that does not currently meet code.
Can you add more outlets to reduce my reliance on extension cords?
Absolutely. Overloading extension cords is a major fire hazard. We can install additional receptacles exactly where you need them—behind entertainment centers, near workstations, or at countertop height in kitchens. After assessing your panel capacity and existing circuitry, we’ll run new wiring through walls or baseboards with minimal disruption, label the new circuit on your breaker panel, and ensure everything is inspected and approved.
How long does a typical outlet replacement or installation take, and will my power be off?
Most single-outlet replacements take 20-30 minutes, while installing a new outlet on an existing circuit usually takes 1–2 hours. If a new circuit needs to be run from the panel, plan on 2–4 hours. We shut off power only to the specific circuit we’re working on, so the rest of your home or business remains energized. Before leaving, we restore power, test the outlet, and clean up the workspace.
Do you offer warranties or guarantees on your outlet services?
Yes. All outlet installations and repairs come with a two-year labor warranty, and we honor the manufacturer’s product warranty (typically 1–5 years). If any workmanship-related problem arises within the warranty period, we’ll return promptly at no cost. We’re fully licensed and insured in the state of Alabama and obtain any permits required by the City of New Market or Madison County to give you complete peace of mind.
