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 However, outdated or improperly installed outlets can pose risks such as electric shocks or even a fire hazard.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 increases safety and also caters to the evolving needs of modern electronic devices. Ensuring proper installation of ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets, especially in areas near water, is critical for preventing electrical hazards.

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 existing electrical code, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Do You Need Outlet and Switch Installation?

Your electrical outlets and switches may be out-of-date, inconvenient, or a potential safety risk.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, lacking a sufficient ground wire
  • 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 breakers
  • 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 wall 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 professionals for electrical work.

Browsing hardware stores for a new cover plate is simple enough, but installing new internal 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 appliances and other electrical devices. 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 outlets 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. Older outlets may also lack a proper neutral wire which is run back to the breaker box and balances the electrical current.
  • 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 outlets 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.

Looking for 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.
