How to Know When It Is Time for a New Outlet/Switch
Wondering when to schedule an outlet or switch repair? Look for these key signs:
- Flickering lights: Lights that flicker when you use an outlet or switch may indicate a loose connection.
- Warm or discolored outlets: Outlets that feel warm or appear discolored can signal overheating and potential fire hazards.
- Frequent tripping of circuit breakers: This could be a sign of overloaded circuits or faulty wiring.
- Sparking or buzzing sounds: Any sparks or unusual noises from outlets or switches need prompt attention.
- Non-functional outlets or switches: If an outlet or switch stops working, schedule a professional inspection.
Our licensed electricians recommend staying aware of these warning signs to protect your Asheville home from electrical hazards. Outdated outlets in older homes, especially those in historic districts, may lack grounding or proper insulation, making timely upgrades vital for safety.

Types of Outlets We Install & Their Benefits
The right outlet makes your home safer, more convenient, and powers modern devices with ease. We install a range of outlets, each with unique advantages, to match your needs and Asheville's code requirements. GFCI outlets protect kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces by stopping electric shock; USB outlets offer convenient charging for devices; tamper-resistant outlets improve child safety in family homes; and AFCI outlets add another layer of fire protection.
We recommend GFCI outlets in moisture-prone areas because Asheville’s local code often requires them for added safety. USB and smart outlets help future-proof your living space by adding flexible options for phones, tablets, and smart technology. Whether you live in a newer subdivision or are renovating a classic home, our team can explain which types will deliver the best results for your layout and power needs. Every installation receives careful attention to compatibility and long-term safety to ensure reliable performance.
