Do smart switches work in any home?

Many need a neutral wire in the switch box, which some older homes do not have there. We check the box first and choose a switch that works with your wiring, or add the neutral if it is needed.

Are USB outlets worth adding?

They free the plug for something else and charge phones without an adapter. They fit a standard box, so swapping one in is a small job.

How do I know a circuit can take another outlet?

It depends on what is already on that circuit and what you plan to plug in. We check the load before adding to it, and suggest a new circuit if the existing one is near its limit.

Outlet Installation San Antonio

Most homes were wired for fewer things than people plug in now. An outlet where you actually use power beats extension cords and power strips run across a room, and it puts the load on a circuit sized to carry it.

We add new outlets and switches, swap old ones for USB outlets, dimmers and smart switches, and check that the circuit has room for what you plan to plug in. Where an outlet needs ground fault protection, it gets it.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.

Usually, yes. We run new wire from a nearby circuit with room to spare, or from the panel if none has room, and set a new box in the wall. Openings are kept as small as the route allows.
