"I had Defused Electrical come to my house on 5/7/25 because my newly installed dishwasher from Home Depot was not getting any power to it. They diagnosed the problem and found that the wire nuts were not securely fastened together when the dishwasher was installed. They arrived at 5:37 PM and left at 6:04 PM, so they were here for less than 1/2 hour. I was charged $330.00 for them changing some wire nuts. I then contacted their "Customer care" rep and told them that I thought that $330.00 for the short amount of time they were here and the simplicity of the job was an excessive amount and asked them to consider a partial refund to me. I was told that by the "customer care" rep that he would pass the request on to the owner of the company and heard nothing after that. After waiting about a week for an answer from them, I contacted other electrical companies and told them the above facts of the amount of time and the issue found by Defused Electrical, and asked them what they would have charged for the exact same scenario. Two of the other companies said they would have charged $120.00 and one said $120 to $150. I feel this company lacks business ethics and more so, ethical responsibilities to the customer."

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.
