Outlets are the most frequently used electrical component in any building and the most frequently damaged. A dead outlet, a sparking receptacle, or a GFCI that will not reset are among our most common service calls. Beyond repairs, a large share of outlet work involves adding outlets where none exist and installing the GFCI protection that California code now requires in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors. Our licensed electricians handle all outlet work, from a single replacement to a whole-home GFCI upgrade, with the same attention to code compliance as any larger job on the site.
Tested After Every Install
Every outlet and GFCI device is tested for correct function before we leave, and we explain the monthly self-test process so your protection keeps working long after we are gone.

What Outlet Work Covers
From a single dead outlet to a whole-home GFCI upgrade, here is what is involved.
Outlet installation covers new receptacles, USB combinations, and upgrades from two-prong to grounded three-prong outlets. Outlet repair addresses dead, loose, or sparking receptacles and faults upstream of the outlet. GFCI outlet installation replaces standard outlets with ground-fault protection wherever code requires it, or upgrades the protection at the breaker level instead.
Signs You Need Service
A dead outlet that resets with a nearby GFCI is a simple fix. One caused by a wiring fault upstream is not. Loose outlets where plugs fall out generate heat through arcing and are a real fire risk. Burn marks or a plastic smell mean a fault has already generated heat and needs immediate attention.
GFCI Code Requirements
California code requires GFCI protection in every bathroom outlet, kitchen outlets within six feet of a sink, all garage and outdoor outlets, and unfinished basements or crawl spaces. Homes that predate these requirements are not required to retrofit, but doing so meaningfully improves safety. We assess your current setup against the current code and recommend upgrades that add real protection without unnecessary cost.
A GFCI outlet monitors current between the hot and neutral conductors and trips within milliseconds if a ground fault occurs, well before the 100 to 300 milliamps needed to cause cardiac fibrillation. Protection can come from an individual GFCI receptacle at each location or a single GFCI breaker covering the whole circuit.
