When to Replace or Install New Switches & Outlets
How do you know when it’s time to call an electrician? These common issues tell you that your switches or outlets need professional attention:
- Loose or damaged outlets are more than just annoying. When plugs don’t stay firmly in place, it creates a fire risk from poor connections and arcing. Outlets that are cracked, discolored, or warm to the touch need immediate replacement.
- Non-functioning or outdated switches frustrate you daily and may indicate wiring problems. If switches don’t work reliably, or if you still have old push-button switches from decades past, it’s time for an upgrade.
- Two-prong outlets can’t accommodate modern three-prong plugs and don’t provide the grounding that protects your devices and family. Upgrading to modern grounded outlets is a safety improvement worth making.
- Burn marks, excessive heat, or buzzing sounds from outlets and switches are serious warning signs. These symptoms suggest dangerous electrical problems that require immediate professional attention.
- Home updates and renovations often reveal the need for additional outlets or switches in better locations. Rather than relying on extension cords and power strips, proper installation gives you the electrical access you need.
Each of these situations creates safety risks or daily inconvenience. Professional installation by a licensed electrician solves the problem correctly and safely.
Professional Outlet Installation for Homes
Outlets are the workhorses of your electrical system. When they’re not working properly, or there simply aren’t enough of them, daily life gets frustrating.
Our outlet installation services address the needs of Palos Hills homeowners. We add outlets where you need them, whether that’s in a garage workshop, home office, kitchen, or outdoor living space. No more extension cords stretched across rooms.
We replace damaged outlets safely and to code. Old, worn outlets that no longer grip plugs firmly pose real fire risks. Replacement with quality modern outlets eliminates the hazard.
Upgrading older outlets to modern standards improves both safety and functionality. We can install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas where water exposure creates shock risks. USB outlets add convenient charging right where you need it.
Every outlet installation we perform meets electrical codes and is done with safety as the priority. Proper wiring, secure connections, and correct load handling ensure reliable performance.
Light Switch Installation & Replacement Services
Switches control your lights and fans, and when they don’t work right, it’s a daily frustration. Our switch installation and replacement services get your home working smoothly again.
Non-working switches might have simple fixes or might indicate underlying wiring issues. Either way, our electricians diagnose the problem and implement the right solution.
Awkwardly placed switches are common in older homes. Maybe the switch is behind the door where you can’t reach it easily, or you have to walk across a dark room to turn on the light. We can relocate switches or add three-way switches so you can control lights from multiple locations.
Dimmer switches add functionality and ambiance to any room. We install dimmers that let you adjust lighting levels to match your mood or activity.
Incorrect switch wiring can cause damage to fixtures, create fire hazards, or simply not work. When switches are installed improperly, problems eventually appear. Our licensed electricians ensure every switch is wired correctly and functions safely.
Switch & Outlet Combo Installation Done Safely
Combination switch and outlet setups are common in bathrooms, garages, and utility areas where space is limited. These devices pack both functions into a single box, but they require careful installation to work correctly.
Combo installations involve more complex wiring than standard switches or outlets. The connections must be made correctly to ensure both the switch and outlet function properly without overloading the circuit.
Proper load handling matters when multiple functions share the same box. Our electricians ensure that combo installations are wired to handle the intended use safely.
We approach switch and outlet combo installation as a professional task, not a DIY project. Getting the wiring wrong can create safety hazards or damage connected devices. Our experience with these installations means you get a clean, safe upgrade that works reliably.
