How It Works
We keep the process simple so you know what to expect at each step.
We talk through what you need, whether it's a single outlet or multiple switches across a space, and determine the right approach before any work begins.
A technician reviews the existing wiring, panel capacity, and outlet or switch location to confirm the job scope and flag anything that needs attention.
We complete the outlet or switch work according to plan, making sure every connection is secure and the finished installation functions correctly.
Before leaving, we test each outlet or switch and walk you through what was done so you understand exactly what changed and why.
Frequently asked
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
Technically some people do, but incorrect wiring is a real safety risk. An improperly wired outlet can cause shocks, tripped breakers, or fire hazards. Having a professional handle it removes that risk.
Q2
A single outlet replacement usually takes under an hour. New outlet installations that require running wire or accessing the panel take longer, often two to four hours depending on the location and existing wiring.
Q3
GFCI outlets cut power instantly when they detect a ground fault. They're required by code near water sources like sinks, bathtubs, and outdoor areas. If your home lacks them in those spots, replacement is worth considering.
Q4
A dead outlet with no tripped breaker could point to a faulty GFCI upstream that's cut power to other outlets, a loose wire connection, or a failing outlet itself. An inspection will identify the cause.
Q5
Not always. Some fixtures and bulb types, particularly older fluorescent lights, aren't compatible with dimmers. We check compatibility before installation to make sure the switch and fixture will work together properly.
Q6
Yes. We install smart outlets and switches that connect to home automation systems. The wiring requirements vary by device, so we confirm your existing setup can support it before proceeding.
Q7
We check for secure connections, proper grounding, signs of heat damage or arcing, and code compliance. Inspections are common before home sales, renovations, or when outlets show signs of wear.
Q8
Outlets that spark, feel warm, have discoloration, or fail to hold plugs securely typically need replacement. Outlets that simply stop working may only need a wiring repair. We assess each situation individually.
Reach out to Fromme Electric to schedule an outlet or switch installation, inspection, or repair. We'll get back to you to confirm the details.
