Outlets and switches are some of the most-used features in your home, but they’re often overlooked when it comes to upgrades. Over time, they can become worn out, outdated, or even unsafe. If your outlets are loose, discolored, or no longer meeting your power needs, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
At Affordable Electric, we help homeowners throughout the Charlotte area modernize their electrical systems with new outlets, light switches, USB ports, GFCIs, and more. Whether you’re planning a remodel or simply looking to improve safety and convenience, we’re ready to help.
Some warning signs are easy to spot. If you notice warm or discolored outlets, loose plugs, flickering lights, or buzzing sounds from switches, these could point to electrical issues. Homes that still use two-prong outlets instead of grounded three-prong ones should be updated as soon as possible.
Older outlets also may not be up to code in key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. Current code requires GFCI protection in wet or damp environments to help prevent shock.
Upgraded outlets are not just about safety. Adding USB charging ports, smart switches, or tamper-resistant receptacles can make your home more functional and modern. Many homeowners also choose to update switch plates and dimmers to better match their décor or lighting goals.
Whether you want to add outlets to a room, convert to smart controls, or just make sure your system is working as it should, our electricians are here to help.
Outlet and switch replacement might seem like a simple task, but incorrect wiring can lead to short circuits or fire hazards. Our licensed electricians ensure every upgrade is done properly, meets current code requirements, and functions safely for years to come.
