When Your Home Isn’t Comfortable

We’ll Help You Figure Out What’s Wrong

Outlets and switches get used every day, and they wear out. A loose connection can cause an outlet to stop working, spark or get warm, and missing GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors is a common safety gap in older homes.

We find out why an outlet or switch isn’t working, repair or replace it safely, and add new outlets where you need them.

A warm outlet is never normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my outlet stop working?

Check whether a GFCI outlet nearby has tripped (press the reset button) and whether the breaker is on. If neither fixes it, the problem is usually a loose connection or a failed outlet, and it's worth having it checked.

Is a warm or sparking outlet dangerous?

It can be. Stop using that outlet, unplug anything connected to it, and call us. If you see smoke or flames, get out and call 911.

What is a GFCI outlet and where do I need one?

A GFCI outlet cuts power quickly if it senses a ground fault, which helps protect against shock. They're typically needed near water, like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages and outdoors.

How much does outlet or switch repair cost?

We start with a $99 service call that goes toward your repair, and you'll get an upfront price before any work begins.

Emergency? We're here 24/7.
