Socket Repair

Swapping a cover plate is one thing, but anything behind the receptacle involves live wiring and grounding that has to be done right to stay safe. A licensed electrician finds the real cause, rebuilds the connection correctly, and confirms the circuit is safe, which protects both your home and everyone in it.

Most outlet repairs run between $100 and $300, depending on whether the pro is replacing a single receptacle, repairing damaged wiring behind it, or upgrading to a GFCI or grounded outlet. The number of outlets and how easy the box is to access also factor in, and your electrician gives you a clear price before any work begins.
