Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to add a new outlet?
Standard outlet installation typically ranges from $150 to $350 depending on wiring accessibility and whether a new circuit is required. We provide an exact quote before any work begins.
Do I need GFCI outlets in my kitchen and bathroom?
Yes. NEC code requires GFCI protection within six feet of any water source, including kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor locations. We can upgrade your existing outlets to GFCI if they are not already protected.
Can you add outlets without tearing up my walls?
In most cases, yes. We use remodel-style boxes and fish wiring through existing wall cavities to minimize drywall disruption. For finished basements or concrete walls, surface-mounted conduit is an option as well.
