"We had great experiences with a very smart woman electrician from Mr. Electric in the past to replace garage light fixtures and repair some interior kitchen light shorts, so they were top of our list to call for the new issues. However, when I called the person fielding the call told me they do not do repairs of exterior lights and would only replace the entire fixtures, even for the one that simply has a stuck base of a lightbulb in it because a bulb broke when we were changing it. Why would they not repair external light fixtures and only do entire replacements of them? It seems very odd. They could not refer me to another electrician who does repair external fixtures, so here I am taking a look at Angi reviews."

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.
