We serve homeowners throughout the Gulf Coast area with fast, affordable, and code-compliant service designed to restore convenience and electrical safety.
Outlet Repairs for Power Loss or Malfunction
When outlets stop working, show signs of damage, or spark during use, it’s time for professional repair. We diagnose issues ranging from loose connections and tripped breakers to faulty wiring or corrosion behind the outlet faceplate.
Our technicians use voltage testers and circuit tracers to identify the source of the issue, then perform safe, durable repairs that restore full function. If the outlet is beyond repair or improperly installed, we replace it with a modern, grounded, and code-approved unit.
Replacement of Outdated or Damaged Outlets
Older homes throughout Gulfport may still have outdated two-prong outlets, cracked faceplates, or worn contacts that pose safety risks. We replace damaged or non-compliant outlets with modern three-prong receptacles and ensure proper grounding is present.
In rooms where outlets are subject to moisture—such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas—we install GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets as required by the National Electrical Code. These receptacles help protect against electrical shock and are mandatory in areas exposed to water.
GFCI and AFCI Outlet Installation
GFCI and AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) technology has become standard in many areas of the home. We install these outlets to meet modern safety requirements and prevent fires and electrical injuries.
GFCI outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all exterior locations. AFCI protection is required in bedrooms and other living areas to detect hazardous arcing conditions.
We install standalone devices or upgrade breaker panel circuits to support these requirements, ensuring your home remains safe and up to code.
Light Switch Repair and Replacement
Faulty or outdated light switches can lead to inconsistent lighting, buzzing noises, or short circuits. We repair single-pole, three-way, and dimmer switches that are loose, malfunctioning, or outdated.
Our replacement services also include upgrading toggle switches to rocker-style, installing motion-sensing switches for energy efficiency, or adding smart switch controls for remote access and scheduling. Whether you’re modernizing your home or simply fixing a dead switch, we provide neat, safe, and functional installations.
Smart Outlet and Switch Integration
Smart outlets and switches allow homeowners to control lighting and power remotely through mobile apps, voice assistants, or programmable schedules. We install Wi-Fi-enabled smart switches and receptacles compatible with major brands like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
Each installation is configured to communicate properly with your home’s Wi-Fi network and integrated with your lighting or outlet loads for full functionality and convenience.
Loose or Unsafe Electrical Devices
Outlets or switches that wobble, push into the wall, or emit heat when in use are potential fire hazards. We secure loose devices, repair electrical box supports, and replace damaged faceplates or mounting screws.
If we find underlying issues like oversizing, improper wire stripping, or backstabbed terminals, we make the necessary corrections to ensure long-term safety and compliance.
Outlet and Switch Installation for Renovations
If you’re remodeling a room, upgrading a kitchen, or finishing a basement, new outlet and switch installation may be required. We add circuits, position new outlets, and install switches in accordance with the layout and intended appliance or fixture usage.
This includes USB outlets for device charging, split outlets for switched lighting control, and multiple-gang switch configurations to support layered lighting plans.
Code Compliance and Safety Standards
All outlet and switch work is completed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Gulfport’s local permitting regulations. We ensure that receptacle spacing, GFCI placement, switch loop wiring, and grounding are fully compliant with residential safety standards.
We provide documentation and inspection support when needed for insurance purposes, home sales, or remodel permits.
