Outlets & Switches
From a Single USB Outlet to a 240V EV Circuit.
Code-current GFCI and AFCI everywhere we touch. Smart switches paired and tested before we leave. 240V circuits sized to your panel.
What & Why
Every touched circuit comes back to current code.
Adding a single outlet, swapping a buzzing switch, or running a new 240V circuit for an EV charger — when we touch it, we leave it code-current. That means GFCI on kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoors; AFCI on bedrooms; ground on every device.
Smart switches and dimmers paired to your hub. USB combos installed where you actually charge. 240V for the range, dryer, mini-split, or EV — sized from the panel down.

What's Included
Six things, every job.
From a single new USB outlet to a full kitchen reset.
Site Walk & Load Check
Existing panel capacity reviewed, circuit map updated, GFCI/AFCI status of touched circuits checked.
Wire & Box Sourcing
Copper THHN or Romex, correct gauge per circuit ampacity, fire-rated boxes, GFCI/AFCI breakers on-site before tear-in.
Tap, Cut & Pull
New outlet location cut, wire pulled through stud bays, drywall openings minimized. Existing finish protected with drop cloths.
Device Install
Receptacle, USB combo, dimmer, smart switch, or 240V outlet wired and torqued to spec. GFCI/AFCI added where code requires.
Test & Verify
Polarity, ground, GFCI trip-test, AFCI trip-test, load test on 240V circuits. Smart devices paired to your hub.
Cleanup & Walkthrough
Drywall cuts patched (no finish paint), debris removed, devices labeled at the panel, and we walk you through the controls.
When You Need It
Six common reasons to call.
Two-Prong Outlets Still in Use
Ungrounded outlets cannot use surge protectors or GFCI safely. Upgrade closes a real safety gap.
Outlets Loose or Sparking
A loose receptacle is the most common residential fire-cause we encounter. Replace immediately.
Burnt or Discolored Faceplate
Brown rings or melted plastic mean arcing inside the wall. Stop using it and call.
Need a 240V Outlet
New range, EV charger, level-2 dryer, mini-split — all need a dedicated 240V circuit and outlet.
Smart-Home Integration
Lutron, Decora, occupancy sensors, motion floods — we wire and pair on the same visit.
Permit-Triggering Remodel
Kitchens, baths, and garages must meet current GFCI/AFCI code when permits are pulled.
