Outlets are crucial for powering everyday devices such as lamps, televisions, kitchen appliances, and chargers. If your home or business in Beaverton is experiencing frequent electrical issues, it could be due to outdated or overworked outlets. Installing new outlets can improve safety, efficiency, and convenience.
Types of Outlets We Install:

- AFCI Outlets (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters): AFCI outlets help prevent electrical fires caused by arcing faults in wiring and are essential for bedrooms and living spaces.
- USB Outlets: Modern homes increasingly require outlets with built-in USB ports for charging phones, tablets, and other devices. These outlets eliminate the need for bulky adapters.
- Smart Outlets: These outlets can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps, allowing you to turn appliances and lights on or off from anywhere, improving energy management.
- 240V Outlets: These are necessary for larger appliances such as dryers, ovens, and air conditioners, which require higher voltage to operate safely and efficiently.
Our team ensures that every outlet is installed according to code, guaranteeing proper functionality and long-term reliability. We can also replace old or damaged outlets to improve safety and meet modern electrical standards.
Switch Installation and Replacement
Switches allow you to control lighting, fans, and other electrical fixtures in your home or business. If you’re experiencing flickering lights, faulty switches, or outdated designs, it might be time for an upgrade. We offer professional installation and replacement services for a variety of switches.
Types of Switches We Install:
- Standard Toggle Switches: The most common type of switch, these are simple and reliable for controlling lighting in individual rooms.
- Dimmer Switches: Dimmer switches allow you to adjust the brightness of your lights, creating the perfect ambiance for any room while also saving energy.

Common Signs You Need Outlet or Switch Repairs:
- Sparks or Burning Smell: If you see sparks when plugging in devices or smell something burning near an outlet or switch, it’s a sign of a serious issue that requires immediate professional attention.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: Flickering or dimming lights can indicate a problem with the switch, wiring, or electrical load. We can quickly diagnose the issue and perform necessary repairs.
- Warm or Hot Outlets and Switches: If your outlets or switches feel warm or hot to the touch, it could mean they are overloaded or malfunctioning, which poses a fire hazard.
- Loose Outlets or Switches: Over time, outlets and switches can become loose, leading to poor electrical connections. We can secure them or replace them as needed to ensure safety.

Upgrades for Energy Efficiency
If you’re looking to reduce your energy bills and make your home more energy-efficient, upgrading your outlets and switches is a smart way to achieve these goals. Replacing standard switches with dimmers or smart switches allows you to better control your lighting usage and reduce energy waste. Similarly, upgrading to USB or smart outlets can streamline the way you power your devices while eliminating energy inefficiencies caused by outdated electrical components.
We offer energy-efficient outlet and switch upgrades that are designed to improve your home’s overall energy performance while adding modern conveniences.
Childproof Outlets
For families with young children, safety is always a top concern. Childproof outlets, or tamper-resistant receptacles (TRRs), are designed to prevent children from inserting objects into electrical outlets. These outlets feature built-in shutters that close off access to the electrical contacts unless a proper plug is inserted, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock.
Our team can install childproof outlets in key areas of your home, ensuring your family is safe while maintaining the functionality of your electrical system.
