The Switch and Outlet Questions You Need to Know
Adding or replacing outlets and switches might seem straightforward, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. We’ve pulled together the most common questions homeowners ask about installation, safety, and modern options. If you’re upgrading your home’s power points, start here.
Signs of a worn-out outlet or switch include flickering lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch, cracking sounds when flipping a switch, or plugs that fall out easily.
If you see scorch marks or smell burning, shut off power and call an electrician immediately. Even minor issues can point to wiring problems behind the wall. Replacing these components improves both safety and functionality.
Smart switches and outlets offer convenient control through your phone, voice assistants, or automation settings. They’re especially useful for lighting, appliances, and improving energy efficiency.
While they cost more than standard options, the added convenience and functionality often make them a worthwhile investment, especially when installed professionally for reliability.
GFCI outlets are required in areas where moisture is present, like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. While they can technically be installed anywhere, they’re most effective when placed in these high-risk zones.
Installing them elsewhere can add extra protection, especially in older homes. A licensed electrician can help you decide the best locations based on code and layout.
Tamper-resistant outlets include a built-in safety mechanism that prevents objects from being inserted unless equal pressure is applied to both prongs—ideal for homes with small children.
They look like regular outlets but offer much greater protection against accidental shocks. In many new builds, they’re now required by code. We recommend them for family rooms, bedrooms, and any space accessible to kids.
Even though it might seem simple, installing a switch or outlet incorrectly can lead to serious risks, like electrical fires, short circuits, or shock. Improper wiring is one of the most common causes of household electrical problems.
A licensed electrician will make sure the connections are correct, safe, and fully code-compliant. It’s always better to play it safe when it comes to electricity.
