Outlet Repair
If you have a dead outlet, it could be the outlet itself, but it could also be an ancillary component. We can fix short circuits and other issues by replacing worn wires, faulty connections, loose mounting hardware, and so on.
- Sparking or arcing outlets
- Outlets feel warm to the touch
- Tripped GFCI outlets that won’t reset
- Two-prong outlets with no grounding

Outlet Replacement
If your outlets are older than 15 years, you should consider replacing them proactively. Old outlets will eventually become inconvenient and even electrical hazards. Another issue with older outlets is that they’re often not up to code in terms of the equipment and installation technique. We’ll ensure that your new outlets meet or exceed current building codes. Our electricians can even install outlets with integrated Type 3 surge protection. That can eliminate the need for surge protector strips throughout most of your home.
GFCI Outlet Installation
Many homes in the region lack the GFCI outlets that building codes now require. These are safety devices that prevent injuries and deaths due to electrical shock. You should opt for GFCI outlet installation wherever water is present. That includes bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and even living areas with aquariums.
USB & Smart Outlet Installation
You have the option of integrated USB ports with both standard and smart outlet installation. This makes the home more convenient by eliminating the need for dedicated chargers. Our experts also recommend smart outlets for better home automation and energy savings. Smart outlets can eliminate vampire power drain from devices in standby. They can also save money through remote access, timers, and more advanced programming.
Tamper-Resistant Outlets
If you have young children in the home or will soon, consider upgrading to tamper-resistant outlets. These receptacles have internal, spring-loaded shutters that block the slots. Releasing those shutters requires equal pressure from both prongs. In other words, there must be a concerted effort to plug something into the outlet properly. This prevents children, for instance, from inserting things into one of the holes and shocking themselves. Tamper-resistant receptacles are a safer and more permanent alternative to outlet protectors. The National Electrical Code now requires them in many living spaces, including kitchens and bedrooms.
Electrical Outlet Upgrades for Modern Living
In addition to GFCI, many homes in the region don’t have the arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets that modern building codes require. AFCI outlets provide advanced protection against electrical fires, and code requires them in bedrooms and other living spaces. There are GFCI-AFCI combination outlets, such as for a laundry room. Our electricians can upgrade your outdoor outlets to weather-resistant GFCI outlets with optional weatherproof enclosures. We can also add dedicated outlets for mobile EV chargers, refrigerators, freezers, heating and cooling systems, and other major appliances.

Outlet Service FAQs
Here are answers to several common questions about outlet installation and outlet repair in West Palm Beach. If you have additional questions, contact us at your convenience.
Can you install GFCI outlets outdoors?
Yes, we can install GFCI, AFCI, and combination outlets outdoors. In fact, the local building codes require these outlets outdoors for many applications. There are weather-resistant outlets specifically for these purposes. Our electricians can also install weatherproof enclosures for additional protection.
Why does my outlet spark when I plug something in?
All small, brief sparks that are blue in color are usually normal and due to a small surge in power. If the spark is yellow or white or present for an extended period, you should stop using the outlet immediately. Call us, and we’ll come out to inspect the outlet, diagnose the problem, and perform a repair. It could be a worn outlet, faulty wiring, an overloaded circuit, corrosion, or moisture.
How many outlets can I add to a single circuit?
To provide a precise answer, we’ll need to perform an inspection and load calculation. Typically, you can have around eight outlets on a 15-amp circuit. On a 20- or 30-amp circuit, that limit usually increases to 10 or 16 outlets, respectively. Another factor is other devices on that circuit, such as lighting, switches, and dimmers.
