What to Know About Electrical Switches and Outlets

Electrical switches and outlets are fundamental components of your home’s electrical system. Understanding their importance is key to maintaining a safe and efficient household. From dimmer switches to smart outlets, the range of options available today can significantly improve the convenience and safety of your home. Whether you’re looking to install USB outlets for modern needs or upgrade to GFCI outlets for enhanced safety, our team of licensed electricians is here to guide you through every step.

GFCI Outlet Installation

GFCI outlet installation is important for any outlets that are near water. This usually means outlets in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or outside.

USB
Outlets

When you are considering new outlet installation, think about installing USB outlets, so you can easily plug in your phone or other devices.

Three-Prong
Outlets

Without this type of electrical outlet installation, you won’t be able to plug in most of your devices. Three-prong outlets are now standard, but your house may still have the old two prong outlets.

240V
Outlets

This is the type of electrical outlet installation you’ll need for your laundry machine, dryer, or EV charger. Call us for power outlet installation if you need to install a 240V outlet.

Outdoor Outlet Installation

Your outdoor outlets need to be protected from the weather. Contact us for outdoor outlet installation for outlets that are safe in all kinds of weather.

Electrical Outlets

The modern home relies heavily on electrical outlets for powering appliances and electronic devices. However, outdated or improperly installed outlets can pose risks such as electric shocks or even a fire hazard. Upgrading to newer models like USB outlets or AFCI outlets not only increases safety but also caters to the evolving needs of modern electronic devices.

Electrical Switches

Light switches play a crucial role in home lighting and energy efficiency. Upgrading to smart switches or dimmer switches can significantly enhance your living experience, offering better control over lighting and even reducing higher electricity bills. Our team ensures that each switch installation adheres to the correct electrical code, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Guaranteed Quality

At Wes Carver Electric, our 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee reflects our commitment to excellence. Our team of professional electricians undergoes rigorous training and background checks, ensuring every outlet and switch installation is performed with the utmost precision and care.

Do You Need Outlet and Switch Installation?

If your home’s outlets are still up to code and working properly, there may be no need to replace them. However, in some homes, the electrical outlets and switches are out-of-date, inconvenient, or a potential safety risk. Here are some signs that you should consider new outlet or switch installation in Bucks & Montgomery County, PA:

  • You are using too many power strips or extension cords
  • Your home has inconvenient outlet location(s)
  • You don’t have enough electrical outlets
  • You still have two-prong outlets
  • You don’t have GFCI outlets in your kitchen or bathroom
  • You have cracked outlet and switch covers
  • Your outlets are sparking or scorched
  • You frequently deal with tripping circuit breaker(s)
  • You have noticed loose wires or another electrical cable problem
  • Your home still contains bare copper wire (rather than insulated wire)

 

Ultimately, the decision to replace a switch or electrical outlet depends on your electrical panel capacity and your power needs. However, no matter what you decide, it’s always best to trust licensed electricians for electrical work. Browsing hardware stores for a new cover plate is simple enough, but installing new wiring to the correct amperage is something that can be difficult for the average homeowner. So before you grab those wire strippers and mounting screws, call our professionals for help.

Keeping Up With Electrical Code

Every three years, the National Electric Code, or NEC, is updated. This doesn't mean your electrical system automatically becomes unsafe every three years — it merely means that standards change with the times. However, if you plan to sell your home or have recently noticed electrical problems, you should have a licensed electrician conduct a home safety evaluation to ensure your electrical panel, outlets, and wiring meet current code requirements.

Regular updates to your home’s electrical infrastructure, including outlet repair and switch installations, ensure compliance with current standards, reducing the risk of hazards.

Electrical Outlet Installation

At Wes Carver Electric, we can install every type of outlet or switch that you could need for your home. Our installation services include the following types of outlets, as well as many more: 

  • GFCI Outlets: Installing ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets is important if your outlets are located anywhere near water (such as in your kitchen, bathroom(s), or laundry room). We can install new GFCI outlet(s) that protect your devices and family members, so if you’re interested in replacing electrical outlets in these locations with GFCI outlets, call our experts today to get started.
  • USB Outlets: Want to charge your phone while using both outlet spots at the same time? You can, with a new electrical outlet featuring a USB port! Especially if you are planning a new outlet installation in the near future, think about asking us to install an electrical outlet with USB ports so that you can easily plug in your phone or other devices.
  • Three-Prong Outlets: You won’t be able to plug in the majority of modern electronic devices unless you have this type of electrical outlet installed. Three-prong outlets are now the norm, but if your home was built before three-prong standard outlets became the norm, it may still have outdated two-prong units. 
  • 240V Outlets: If you have high-energy appliances, old outlets won’t cut it for your power needs. You will need 240V electrical outlet installation for items such as your laundry machine, dryer, or EV charger. Call us for a new outlet installation if you need to install a 240V outlet.
  • Outdoor Outlets: Outdoor outlets must be protected from the elements, so double-check any electrical outlet(s) in your yard. If any existing outlet appears susceptible to water damage or other types of exposure, contact our dependable team, and we’ll install high-quality outdoor outlets that are safe in all weather conditions.

Seeking a new type of outlet that isn’t on this list? We can still handle it. Simply call us and request outlet or switch installation in Bucks & Montgomery County, PA, and we’ll take care of the rest.
