When to Replace or Install New Switches & Outlets
Sometimes it’s obvious when you need help. Other times, the signs are easy to overlook. Here are the most common reasons Alsip homeowners and business owners call us:
- Loose or damaged outlets — plugs fall out easily, or the outlet is cracked or discolored.
- Switches that don’t work properly — lights that flicker, switches that are stuck, or ones that feel warm to the touch.
- Two-prong (ungrounded) outlets — outdated and potentially unsafe for modern electronics.
- Burn marks, heat, or a buzzing sound near outlets or switches — a serious safety concern.
- Home updates or remodels — adding outlets in new spaces or replacing old ones to match new finishes.
Don’t ignore these signs. Faulty outlets and switches can lead to electrical fires or shocks. A professional installation from Reed Electrical keeps your home and family safe.
Professional Outlet Installation for Homes
Outlets seem simple, but proper installation is more involved than it looks. Getting it wrong can cause hazards that aren’t visible until something goes wrong. Our licensed electricians in Alsip handle:
- Adding new outlets in kitchens, bedrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces.
- Replacing damaged or outdated outlets with modern, grounded versions.
- Upgrading to GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone areas for added safety.
Every outlet we install is grounded, tested, and ready to handle your everyday electrical needs safely.
Light Switch Installation & Replacement Services
A non-functioning or awkwardly placed switch is more than just a frustration; it can also be a safety issue. Incorrect switch wiring can damage appliances, cause shorts, or create electrical hazards. Our team handles light switch installations and replacements with precision, ensuring everything is wired correctly and safely the first time.
Whether you need a basic on/off switch replaced, a dimmer installed for better ambiance, or a multi-location switch set up for a hallway or staircase, Reed Electrical gets it done right, without the guesswork.
Switch and Outlet Combo Installation Done Safely
Switch and outlet combo units are a popular choice for maximizing space in smaller rooms, but they’re more complex to wire than they look. Incorrect wiring can lead to tripped breakers, failed connections, or even hazardous conditions. That’s why this is a job best left to the professionals.
Reed Electrical has plenty of experience with switch and outlet combo installation in Alsip. We make sure everything is wired correctly, handles the right electrical load, and operates safely for years to come. It’s a clean, smart upgrade, and we make it easy.

I had a few ceiling fans and light fixtures replaced as well as GFI outlets changed. I was also able to get new wired fire alarms installed the same day. I would definitely recommend Reed Electrical for any electrical work you need done.Posted on Google Jim GallaherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an issue with a couple entryway switches where two of the switches turned on both the porch light and entryway light at the same time instead of turning on/off each one independently. This was one of those 100 issues on the repair list that I finally got around to addressing. I took a look at the switch to see if I could figure out the issue, but after seeing that the wiring appeared to be done incorrectly and one wire actually came loose during my inspection, I said yeah... I have no idea what they did (Previous ownership) and I'm not messing around with it. So, I put everything back and called Reed. Peter came over and quickly confirmed that the switch was wired incorrectly, explained what they did wrong, and had it wired back the correctly to where both lights now turn on/off independently. I will certainly call Reed Electrical again in the future to have an inspection done to make sure there are no other issues to be concerned about. Thank you for the prompt service! Edit-Note: The picture of the switch's wiring is how I originally discovered it and how it was BEFORE it was corrected. Unfortunately, I do not have an after picture to show. You'll just have to take my word that it is now wired and working correctly. lolPosted on Google Kathy MittelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a new lighting fixture installed as well as several outlets. The service was exceptional as always. The work was scheduled promptly and completed to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Reed Electrical Services.
