Electrical Outlet Replacement & Repair

An electrical outlet replacement is a seemingly simple job, but there’s more than meets the eye. When it comes to complex installations like GFCI outlets in your bathroom or kitchen or 240-volt outlets for heavy-duty appliances, things can quickly get dangerous.
For a seamless installation without lingering questions about safety or functionality, hiring a certified electrician is always the best choice. Plus, professional service is quick and affordable when you choose Mr. Electric. In fact, we’re proud to offer price estimates UPFRONT.
Call or message Mr. Electric to schedule an electrical outlet replacement in Chapel Hill or to request emergency assistance today. Our team is on standby to help.

Signs It’s Time to Replace an Outlet

Electrical outlets don’t last forever, and ignoring warning signs can lead to more significant problems down the road. Here are some telltale signals that it’s time to arrange an electrical outlet repair or replacement:

  • If outlets feel warm to the touch.
  • If outlet covers are cracked or discolored.
  • If outlets wiggle when you plug something in.
  • If outlets spark or lights flicker when you plug something in.
  • If outlets make buzzing noises or emit burning smells.

Frequent tripped breakers or outlets that no longer hold plugs securely are also clear indications it’s time for a replacement. Older two-pronged outlets are also recommended for replacement.

Game-Changers: GFCI Outlets and Smart Outlets

Replacing an outlet isn’t just about fixing a problem; it’s also an opportunity to upgrade. Two of the MVPs of the outlet game are GFCI outlets and smart outlets.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are a must for areas exposed to moisture, like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. These outlets are designed to shut off power immediately if they detect a ground fault. In fact, they’re required by modern electrical codes in many locations.
For homeowners and businesses looking to embrace modern convenience, smart outlets are a fantastic choice. These outlets can turn “dumb old” devices and fixtures into “smart devices.” For instance, you can remotely turn your lamp on or off via your smartphone. Some smart outlets also allow you to monitor energy usage and even set schedules from your smartphone.
