Common concerns about outlet and switch work

Homeowners in Matthews often have practical questions before scheduling outlet or switch installations, and the answers below address the most frequent concerns.

What is the difference between a standard outlet and a GFCI outlet?
A GFCI outlet shuts off power when it detects a ground fault, reducing the risk of shock in areas exposed to moisture. These outlets are typically required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations.

How do you determine where to install new outlets?
We consider your furniture layout, appliance locations, and typical usage patterns to recommend outlet placement. Proper spacing reduces the need for extension cords and improves accessibility throughout the room.

When should I replace an existing outlet or switch?
You should replace outlets or switches when they feel loose, fail to hold plugs securely, show signs of discoloration, or stop functioning. These issues indicate wear that can lead to poor connections or electrical hazards.

What is involved in adding a new outlet to an existing room?
We run new wiring from your electrical panel or an existing circuit, cut an opening in the wall, install the outlet box, connect the wiring, and mount the outlet cover. The process ensures safe, code-compliant installation.

Why do some switches control multiple lights?
Multi-location switches allow you to control the same light from different points in your home. We install three-way or four-way switches when you need convenient control from hallways, staircases, or large rooms.
