Outlet and switch replacement in Charlotte, NC
Service visits start at $149 — a starting point, not a final estimate
Loose outlets that no longer grip a plug and yellowed switches are cheap to fix and easy to keep ignoring. We isolate the circuit, replace the device like-for-like, and test it before the plate goes back on.

What this typically includes

What can affect the final price
- Number of devices being replaced in one visit
- Older wiring that has been backstabbed or is brittle
- Whether smart switches need a neutral wire that isn't present
- Boxes that are overfilled or damaged
What photos to send
- The full area including ceiling height or wall context
- The existing fixture, fan, outlet, or device from a safe standing distance

Questions about this service
- Is this licensed electrical work?
- We review the scope first. Some electrical work may require a properly licensed North Carolina trade professional — new circuits, new boxes, rewiring and anything at the panel in particular — and we only accept work that is appropriate for our scope.
- Can you install a GFCI outlet in my bathroom?
- A like-for-like GFCI replacement, yes. If the location has never had one, we'll assess whether that becomes licensed work.
- My smart switch needs a neutral — now what?
- Many older Charlotte homes don't have a neutral in the switch box. We'll check first and tell you honestly before you buy the switch.
