"Great company! The owner drove down to our place to give a free estimate and while looking over the site, also made some suggestions on how to prep for the job we had in mind. We were about to pour a concrete patio in our backyard and planned on adding 3 brick columns with built in color-changing LED light blocks. That meant, however, that we had to install conduits for the electrical wiring BEFORE the concrete was poured. Mr. Greg Proctor gave us a rough sketch that we, in turn, gave to the concrete contractor when the patio was poured. A few months later, we called Mr. Proctor back and he came and installed the wiring for the 3 light columns and a GFCI outlet for a projector or any other electrical appliance we needed outside. Greg was (and is) a gentleman and a scholar - excellently skilled at what he does and great to work with. Oh, and btw, he did it all in one day at a price that was both reasonable and competitive!"

"I had a great free consultation with the owner. He agreed to replace my bathroom light with a fan\light combo, as well as add an outlet and install puck light above the shower. The price he charged was very good. I was disappointed with the work for severeal reasons. Instead of replacing the light, the installer put the new fixture in a different location and placed a metal plate over the old location (picture attached). It doesn't look good at all, and will take more electrical work before I can sheetrock and paint. There are also a couple blood spots on my ceiling now around the area where the new fixture was installed, as the installer had a minor cut. The outlet works fine, but the installer damaged the sheetrock around it. I will now have to mud, sand, and paint the area (picture attached). Last of all, and probably the worst, the owner will no longer contact me despite having requested more quotes multiple times. I cannot recommend this company."

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.
