How it works
Identify and shut off the circuit
We find the right breaker, verify power is off with a tester, and confirm the circuit is dead before opening the box.
Swap the device
We disconnect the old outlet or switch, connect the new one with proper polarity, and secure it plumb in the box.
Test and button up
We restore power, plug in a tester, flip the switch, and install the cover plate for a finished look.
Problems we fix
- Backstabbed wiring on old outlets that can cause intermittent failures
- Oversized aftermarket devices that don't fit in shallow older boxes
- No ground wire in older homes — limits which upgrades are practical
- Outlets wired in reverse polarity that can pose a safety risk
Outlet & Switch Replacement in Columbia — FAQ
Can you install a GFCI outlet in my kitchen or bathroom?
Yes — GFCI protection is required near water sources by current code. We install them in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors, and verify they trip and reset properly.
My outlet has two prongs — can you add a ground?
A two-prong outlet means the circuit may lack a ground wire. We can install a GFCI outlet in its place, which is a code-accepted solution, and label it 'No Equipment Ground.'
Can you install a USB-C outlet?
Yes. We carry USB-A and USB-A/C combo outlets that fit standard boxes. Great for bedside and desk locations.
Outlet & Switch Replacement across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
