Outlets may be small, but they’re one of the most used (and abused) parts of your electrical system. Whether you’re dealing with one that’s loose, cracked, doesn’t work at all—or you need to add new outlets in your home—getting it done right matters for both safety and convenience.
At Bierlein-Trombley Electric, we help homeowners throughout the area with professional, code-compliant outlet installation and repairs. No guesswork, no shortcuts—just safe, clean electrical work and we are here to provide clear, honest answers to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Outlet installation involves adding new electrical outlets to your home or business, such as standard 120V outlets, GFCI outlets, or specialized outlets for appliances. Repair services address issues like sparking, overheating, or non-functional outlets. Properly installed and maintained outlets ensure safety, convenience, and compliance with electrical codes.
ANSWER:
Pricing depends on a few things: type of outlet (standard, GFCI, USB, 240V, etc.), location and accessibility, whether new wiring is needed, and number of outlets being repaired or added. Typical price range to swap an outlet or two typically costs between $50 to $75 per outlet and for whole house installations and a larger number of outlets are replaced the cost drops to $20 to $40 per outlet. For outlets with new wiring needed the cost ranges from $175 to $350 per outlet depending on many factors including wire size, outlet type and difficulty to run wires from outlet to panel. Specialty outlets (GFI, USB, appliance outlets) costs may run higher.
We’ll always provide a free estimate and explain exactly what needs to be done—no pressure, no mystery charges.
ANSWER: The most common reasons include: tripped circuit breakers or GFCIs, worn out internal connections, loose wiring, or damaged or burned contacts from overuse or overheating
We diagnose the cause quickly and get your outlet back online—or replace it if needed.
ANSWER: If your outlet is sparking, feels hot, has visible damage, or doesn’t hold plugs securely, it needs professional attention. Ignoring these issues can lead to electrical fires or shocks. Our licensed electricians will diagnose the problem and recommend repair or replacement based on safety and code requirements.
ANSWER: We install a variety of outlets, including standard 120V outlets, GFCI outlets for wet areas like bathrooms, USB outlets for modern devices, and tamper-resistant outlets for child safety. We’ll help you choose the right type for your needs, ensuring functionality and compliance with local codes.
ANSWER: Technically, yes—but there are risks. Installing an outlet incorrectly (especially with reversed polarity, no ground, or poor connections) can lead to electrical shock, fire risk, and circuit damage.
Hiring a licensed electrician ensures it’s done to code, labeled properly, and tested before it’s put back in service.
