"I found IEW Electrical Services via Home Depot Pro Referral Service. Zoe was the first contractor to call me about 5 minutes after I logged the request for an Electrician to help install 7 smart switches in my home. Zoe came across as professional and since he was the first to call, I asked him to do the work. Zoe and one of his associates arrived at the time I asked. They were both very courteous and professional. They went right to work and did not speak with each other outside of coordinating the work. The smart switches were installed without any issues and I was able to successfully program each smart switch within my Ring Alarm System. I would highly recommend IEW Electrical Services. Zoe is professional, courteous, and honest. These traits are very hard to find in this day and age. I will use Zoe and his company for all future related Electrical services."

"I wanted a portable generator and RV hookup for my house. In order to do so, I needed a larger panel with more space to accommodate the new circuits and the lockout switch. Ramon did a great job on the installation, and I now have everything I need to hook the generator to the house or hook up the RV."

"I paid for a maintenance contract w these people then called them for repair work.

Then they admitted they were not even authorized to do warranty work on a cooler generator. Now with my maintenance contract, and my money, they have not contracted out the work, will not return my calls, my texts or my emails"

"SSGE acted like a teenager wrt aftersale service. The first time I called SSGE was when then was an alarm on the system, ( a year after install) and they refused service!!! The reason per SSGE was that there was dispute during install. During the sales process, SSGE had told me that HOA approval was NOT needed. Right after installation, the HOA wanted to remove the generator, and it took me 2 weeks to sort out the issue. I paid SSGE the second half of the payment in full only after the dispute with HOA was settled in about 2 weeks.Is that a good enogh reason to not provide service?? I had to call Generac's head-quarters and they helped me trouble shoot the alarm on my system."

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.
