Types of Outlets We Install & Repair

GFCI Outlets

Ground-fault circuit interrupter outlets are required by California electrical code in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor areas, and near water sources. If yours trip repeatedly, fail to reset, or were never installed — we fix and upgrade them.

AFCI Outlets & Breakers

Arc-fault protection is now required in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways in homes undergoing renovation. We install AFCI outlets and breakers that protect against wiring fires from damaged or aging circuits.

USB & USB-C Outlets

Swap a standard duplex outlet for one with built-in USB-A or USB-C charging ports — no adapter needed. Popular in bedrooms, home offices, and kitchens.

Dedicated Circuits & 240V Outlets

Large appliances (EV chargers, dryers, ranges, air compressors, hot tubs) need their own circuit. We run new wire from the panel, install the correct outlet type (NEMA 14-50, 6-50, etc.), and breaker-size it correctly.

Outdoor & Weatherproof Outlets

Patio, garage, and exterior outlets require GFCI protection and in-use weatherproof covers per NEC code. We install new outdoor outlets or upgrade existing ones.

Tamper-Resistant Outlets

Required in all new construction in California. We upgrade existing outlets to tamper-resistant versions — important for homes with young children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace an outlet myself in California?
Homeowners may do their own electrical work in California under a homeowner permit, but GFCI, AFCI, and any new circuit work has inspection requirements. Mistakes on outlet wiring are a leading cause of house fires. A licensed electrician guarantees code compliance and handles the permit if needed.

Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?
A tripping GFCI usually means the circuit has a ground fault — either a wiring issue, a failing appliance on the circuit, or moisture. We diagnose the cause, not just reset the button.

How long does an outlet installation take?
A standard replacement takes 30–60 minutes. A new dedicated circuit from the panel is typically 2–4 hours depending on the run.
