"Terrible customer service He created giant messes and lied to me on multiple occasions. I will say anything to get the project and not actually answer questions. When they came to give the quote, I asked them where they would put the heat pump and I said behind the house, but when they went to install it, it would not fit behind the house according to code. I constantly had to hound them to finish the job. They started in the spring, and then they did not finish until the winter, after saying they could start in 2 weeks. They left me without heat on below-freezing days because they were not finished. They did not honor parts of the contract. charged for service even though the contract says it is free for 3 years. They tried to charge me for things they did not install(humidifier). Installed the ventilation system over some sill rot. I left gaping holes in my home for months. I had to hound them every step of the way to get them to do the next part of the project. They were replacing propane and oil with gas and did not tell me I had to remove the propane to do so, and then the town would not permit their work and I had to pay out of pocket for more conversions. I had to hound them to get permits, including an oil tank removal permit, which they never pulled and I still do not have! The end result was an expensive system that I think is misconfigured and ill-fitting for my home (it does not remove humidity properly). If you would like to do the project management yourself, hire this company. That said, there was one very nice technician, but I would not have them install anything."

Warning signs include outlets that no longer grip plugs securely, visible damage to the faceplate, unusual warmth, or discoloration around the outlet. If you notice sparking when plugging in devices, breakers that trip when the outlet is used, or detect burning smells, these indicate potentially serious problems requiring immediate professional attention.
A straightforward outlet replacement takes a qualified electrician about 30 minutes or less. However, if the outlet has significant damage or the electrician needs to diagnose underlying electrical issues, the repair might extend to a couple of hours. The timeline depends on the complexity of the problem, accessibility of the outlet, and whether additional electrical work is needed.
While simple outlet replacement is technically possible for homeowners with basic electrical knowledge, safety concerns make professional installation advisable. If attempting DIY repairs, you must properly shut off power at the breaker box and verify the circuit is dead using a voltage tester. Complex issues involving circuit problems or specialized outlets should always be handled by licensed professionals to ensure safety and code compliance.
There's no set replacement schedule for electrical outlets in good condition. Instead, replace outlets when you notice signs of damage, loose connections, or functionality problems. Outlets in older homes may need updating to meet current safety codes, especially if they lack proper grounding or are located in areas now requiring GFCI protection, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets contain specialized safety technology that monitors electrical current and quickly cuts power when imbalances are detected. These complex internal components make them more expensive than standard outlets. Additionally, they must be installed in specific locations to meet electrical code requirements, often requiring specialized installation techniques that increase labor costs.
Request verification of proper licensing and insurance coverage. Ask about their experience with similar repairs and their process for diagnosing electrical problems. Request a written estimate detailing parts, labor, and any potential additional costs. Inquire about warranties on their work and the expected completion timeframe. Also, ask if they'll inspect the circuit associated with the problematic outlet to identify any related issues.
