Outlet and Switch Services

Survivor Electric installs, repairs, and replaces outlets and switches throughout the home. Every job is completed by a licensed Survivor Electric employee, never a subcontractor, and performed according to applicable electrical codes.

  • GFCI outlet installation and replacement — We install new GFCI outlets, replace failed devices, and troubleshoot outlets that will not reset or operate properly.
  • Outlet repair and installation — Loose, damaged, or non-functioning outlets can be inspected, repaired, or replaced. We also install additional standard and USB outlets for renovations, new appliances, home offices, electronics, and other upgrades where convenient access to power is needed.
  • Light switch wiring and installation — We work with standard switches, dimmers, timers, and other common switch configurations.
  • Three-way switch wiring — Three-way switches allow one light to be controlled from two locations, such as the top and bottom of a staircase or opposite ends of a hallway. We can install new three-way switches or troubleshoot an existing setup that is not working correctly.
  • Switch repair and replacement — Warm switches, buzzing, flickering, sparking, or switches that stop responding can all indicate an electrical problem that should be inspected.

What GFCI Outlets Do

GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. These outlets are designed to quickly shut off power when they detect an imbalance in electrical current, helping protect people from electrical shock.

GFCI protection is required in many areas where electricity may come into contact with moisture, including kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. Older homes may still have standard outlets in locations where GFCI protection is now recommended or required.

If you are unsure whether your home has the right protection, Survivor Electric can inspect your existing outlets and recommend the appropriate upgrades.

Signs Your Outlets or Switches Need Attention

Outlets and switches wear down over time, and problems behind the wall are not always visible.

Contact an electrician if you notice:

  • An outlet or switch that feels warm or hot
  • A burning smell near a wall plate
  • Sparks when plugging in a device or flipping a switch
  • A GFCI outlet that will not reset
  • Plugs that fit loosely or fall out of an outlet
  • A switch that flickers, buzzes, or stops responding
  • Discoloration or visible damage around an outlet or switch

What appears to be a minor outlet or switch problem can sometimes point to loose wiring or another issue within the circuit. A licensed electrician can identify the cause and determine the safest repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my GFCI outlet needs to be replaced?

A GFCI outlet that repeatedly trips, will not reset, or no longer provides power may need to be inspected or replaced. Other warning signs include heat, a burning smell, visible damage, or sparking.

Because a failed GFCI may also indicate a wiring or circuit problem, it is best to have the outlet inspected by a licensed electrician.

Where are GFCI outlets required in a home?

GFCI protection is required in many areas where electrical devices may be exposed to moisture, including kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor spaces, and other locations covered by current electrical code.

Older homes may not have GFCI protection in every location where it would be required today. An electrician can inspect your outlets and recommend upgrades where needed.

What is three-way switch wiring?

Three-way switches allow one light or fixture to be controlled from two different locations. They are commonly used on staircases, in hallways, and in rooms with more than one entrance.

If a light only works from one switch, behaves inconsistently, or stops working after an electrical project or remodel, the three-way switch wiring may need to be inspected.

Can one GFCI outlet protect other outlets?

Yes. When installed in the proper configuration, one GFCI device can provide protection to additional outlets farther along the same circuit.

Because the wiring configuration determines which outlets are protected, proper installation is important. Survivor Electric can inspect the circuit and confirm that the outlets are wired and protected correctly.

Do I need an electrician to install or replace an outlet or switch?

Outlet and switch replacement may appear simple, but electrical work can involve damaged wiring, improper connections, grounding issues, or code requirements that are not visible from outside the wall.

A licensed electrician can identify those issues and make sure the installation is completed safely.
