The switches and outlets in your home may be older than you think
Many Peninsula homes still have outlets and switches from the original construction
Homes built in the 1950s through 1980s across San Mateo, Burlingame, and Redwood City often still have original outlets and switches that are decades old. Two-prong outlets without grounding, non-GFCI outlets in wet areas, cracked switch plates, and loose receptacles are all common, and all worth replacing for safety, convenience, and code compliance.
We replace, upgrade, and add switches and outlets throughout your home
Outlet and switch services include replacing worn, cracked, or loose outlets, upgrading two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong, and installing GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. Service can also include adding new outlets, upgrading switches to dimmers or smart controls, and installing USB or tamper-resistant outlets.
Small upgrades that make a real difference in safety and convenience
Switch and outlet replacements are quick, affordable projects that improve everyday comfort and bring your home closer to modern electrical code standards. They are especially important if you are selling your home, as inspectors frequently flag outdated or missing GFCI outlets.
What to expect before, during, and after a switch or outlet replacement
Before
We evaluate which outlets and switches need attention, discuss any upgrades you want (GFCI, USB, smart switches, additional outlets), and provide a clear estimate.
During
Our electrician replaces or upgrades each outlet and switch, confirming proper wiring and grounding at each location. GFCI outlets are tested for proper trip function.
After
We test every replaced outlet and switch for proper operation and confirm all GFCI outlets trip and reset correctly.
6 Signs Your Switches or Outlets Need Replacement
Outlets Are Loose or Do Not Hold Plugs
If plugs fall out or sit loosely in the receptacle, the internal contacts are worn and the outlet should be replaced.
Switches Spark or Feel Warm
A switch that produces a visible spark or feels warm to the touch has a wiring issue that needs immediate attention.
Two-Prong Outlets Without Grounding
These outdated outlets do not provide the grounding protection that modern appliances and electronics require.
No GFCI Outlets in Kitchens, Bathrooms, or Outdoor Areas
GFCI outlets are required by code in all wet and outdoor areas. If your home does not have them, it is a safety and code compliance issue.
Discolored or Cracked Outlet Covers
Visible damage to outlets or cover plates can indicate heat damage or aging that warrants inspection and replacement.
You Need More Outlets
If you are relying on power strips and extension cords to get enough outlets in a room, it is safer and more convenient to have additional outlets installed.
