Safe, Reliable Electrical Outlets and Switches for Every Room
GFCI Outlets • USB Outlets • Dimmer Switches • Smart Controls
Don't Ignore Faulty Outlets and Switches
Outlets and switches are the most-used electrical components in your home, and over time they can wear out, become loose, or even pose fire hazards. Whether you're dealing with sparking outlets, non-working switches, or simply want to upgrade to modern conveniences like USB outlets and smart switches, Nix Electrical provides fast, professional repair and installation services.
One device is a small job. New circuits and finished-wall adds cost more because of access.
We quote the devices and locations you asked for, not every receptacle in the house. No Upsells.

Our Outlet & Switch Services
Outlet Repairs & Replacements
We repair or replace worn-out, damaged, or dangerous outlets. All work is code-compliant and includes proper grounding and secure connections.
GFCI Outlets
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are required in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor locations. They protect against electrical shock by cutting power when a ground fault is detected. We install and test GFCI outlets to ensure your safety.
USB Outlets & Charging Stations
Eliminate bulky adapters with built-in USB outlets. We install outlets with USB-A and USB-C ports for convenient device charging in bedrooms, kitchens, and home offices.
Dimmer Switches
Dimmer switches give you control over your lighting and save energy. We install modern LED-compatible dimmers for any room, including 3-way and smart dimmers.
Smart Switches & Outlets
Upgrade to smart switches and outlets compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and other smart home systems. Control lights and appliances from your phone or with voice commands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does outlet or switch repair cost?
A single device replacement is a small, defined job. New circuits, GFCI/AFCI where the circuit was never protected, and adding outlets in finished walls cost more because of access. We quote the devices and locations you asked for.
Do I need an electrician for a dead outlet?
Check an upstream GFCI reset first. If the outlet is hot, discolored, sparking, or the breaker will not hold, call a licensed electrician. New outlets and kitchen/bath GFCI work belong with a licensed contractor.
Is a sparking outlet dangerous?
A small spark on plug-in can be normal. Heat, repeated sparking, a burning smell, or a melted plate is not. Stop using that receptacle and have it evaluated.
Where are GFCI outlets required?
Kitchens, baths, garages, outdoors, and other damp locations typically need GFCI protection under current code. We install and test to the adopted code for your address, not a generic upsell list.
