More about receptacles, switches & devices
Receptacles and switches are often the first sign that wiring needs attention. A loose plug, a warm cover plate, a switch that crackles or a cracked outlet are not cosmetic problems. Contacts wear out, connections loosen over decades, and older devices were not designed for the loads we plug in today.
Replacement devices also give us a chance to improve protection. GFCI devices guard against ground faults, which is the kind of fault that can shock a person, and are required in places such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements and outdoors. AFCI protection detects arcing faults that can start fires, and is required on many living-area circuits. Tamper-resistant receptacles are required in most new work and are especially useful where children are present.
We replace and add devices across the Twin Cities, from a single worn outlet to a whole-house update during a remodel. In older homes, we often find ungrounded two-prong outlets, and we will go over what can be done about them, which ranges from running a ground to adding GFCI protection that is clearly labeled as having no equipment ground.
When you need it
- Plugs fall out of loose receptacles, or the faceplate is warm or discolored.
- You have two-prong outlets and want to plug in three-prong equipment without adapters.
- A GFCI outlet will not reset, or a bathroom or kitchen outlet has never had GFCI protection.
- A switch buzzes, flickers, feels hot or does not reliably turn the light on and off.
- You want dimmers, smart switches, timers or occupancy sensors in a room.
- A room does not have enough outlets and extension cords are in constant use.
- You need USB receptacles, outdoor weather-resistant outlets or a receptacle in a floor, island or countertop.

Worn or damaged outlets replaced with new, correctly rated devices and secure connections.
GFCI receptacles or breakers installed where required and in other locations where you want added protection.
Arc-fault breakers or devices on circuits where current rules call for them.
Additional receptacles added to a wall, island, garage or outdoor location, with wiring routed as cleanly as possible.
Standard, three-way, dimmer, timer, occupancy and smart switches matched to the load and wiring.
USB charging receptacles, weather-resistant outdoor outlets and tamper-resistant devices.
Where possible, ground connections are added or the best code-recognized alternative is installed.
Our process
- Walk through
We list the devices you want replaced or added and check the condition of the wiring behind them.
- Test
We test existing receptacles for grounding, polarity and GFCI function to see what is actually wrong.
- Replace and add
Devices are replaced, new ones are wired in and connections are tightened to specification.
- Verify
Every device is tested before we leave, and we explain anything that needs more work.
