Outlets and switches

Whether due to age or damage, electrical outlets and switches eventually require repair or replacement. Damage or other issues such as charring, sparks, and warm outlet surfaces can signal a repair greater than the outlet itself. We will identify the root cause to avoid further damage.

We can address outdated outlets, such as builders-grade outlets, two prong outlets, and backstabbing wiring setups, to improve overall safety and performance. We can also upgrade your outlets and switches to match the modern needs of your home, such as adding smart outlets or ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs).

Electrical wiring

Some homes have outdated or insufficient wiring to meet the safety and power demands of modern technology. To bring your home up to code and mitigate the risk of electrical fire, we offer full rewiring services. Our electrical wiring repairs assist with problems such as:

• Aluminum wiring
• Ungrounded wiring
• Excessive extension cord use
• Poor overall electrical system performance

Panel upgrades

Linking the grid to your home’s circuits, electrical panels function as the hub for your Orange County home’s electrical system.

Our repair involves a thorough assessment of your home to determine a panel compatible with your home and a quick installation, which provides advantages such as increased safety, capacity, and energy efficiency.

Lighting and ceiling fans can present an array of problems, such as damaged or loose components, faulty connections and wiring, flickering or dimming, and junction box issues.
