"Would give zero stars if possible! Larry Hoang at first presented himself as an honest, reasonable man and contractor but his actions have proven this very wrong. We have two major roof leaks that will cost us thousands of dollars to fix - caused by deficient solar panel installation. He refuses to repair them, despite three independent reports from other local licensed contractors indicating the roof damage was *directly* caused by the solar panel installation. We am currently filing a formal complaint with the California State Contractors Licensing Board in an effort to get him to respond, as we cannot even get our roof fixed until he agrees to remove the panels. We hired him specifically because we wanted to support local businesses - but we sincerely regret this decision. Buyer BEWARE! This is not an honorable businessman - nor business!"

Watch for warning signs, including discolored or warm faceplates, burning smells, sparking, loose-fitting plugs, and intermittent power delivery. Outlets that are more than 15 to 20 years old may lack important safety features like tamper resistance, even if they appear functional. Flickering lights or frequently tripping circuit breakers when using an outlet suggest potential wiring issues that merit professional evaluation.
While outlet replacement might appear straightforward, electrical work carries significant safety and compliance risks. Professional electricians understand proper grounding techniques, wire connections, and building code requirements. Improper installation can lead to shock hazards, electrical fires, and potential insurance complications. Most municipalities require licensed professionals for electrical modifications to ensure work meets safety standards.
A professional electrician needs less than 30 minutes to replace a standard outlet under normal circumstances. Factors that may extend this timeframe include difficult access locations, outdated wiring that requires updating, or the need for specialized outlet types like GFCI installations. Larger projects involving multiple outlets benefit from economies of scale, though whole-house replacements require several days to complete.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets continuously monitor electrical current flow and automatically disconnect power when they detect imbalances that could cause shock hazards. Standard outlets provide power without this protection mechanism. Building codes mandate GFCI outlets in locations where water exposure is possible, including kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. While GFCI outlets cost approximately twice as much as standard versions, they provide essential safety protection.
Replacing an existing standard outlet with a GFCI outlet costs between $100 and $200, including both materials and professional installation. The material cost for a GFCI outlet ranges from $7 to $25, significantly higher than standard outlets due to their built-in protection circuitry. Installing a new GFCI outlet where none previously existed costs between $150 and $300 due to additional wiring requirements.
Basic outlet replacement won't significantly impact energy consumption. However, specialized options like smart outlets can help manage energy usage by allowing programmed scheduling and remote control of connected devices. These features let you automatically power down electronics when not in use. Additionally, replacing deteriorated outlets with loose connections can eliminate energy waste and reduce potential safety hazards from resistance heating.
