Top Priority on Power Disconnection and Verification

Getting the power off is always the first step in any electrical work - and we're dead serious about it.

1. Switch Off the Power: We first locate the specific circuit breaker for the room at the electrical panel or breaker box. We flip the breaker to cut the power to the outlets and lights on that circuit - and label it so it's super clear what we did.

2. Check the Power's Off: We use a super reliable voltage tester to test the old outlet or light switch to make sure the power's completely off. And we check all the possible slots and terminals before touching any wire or unscrewing the faceplate. That's just basic safety - and it's essential for keeping us from working on live wires.

3. Removing the Old Socket: We unscrew the screws holding the old outlet or light switch to the electrical box. Then gently pull the old outlet unit out of the hole and loosen the terminals to remove the wires (black, white, and ground). We might tape the wire ends just to be extra careful during the process.

We do every repair, wall outlet, and wall switch replacement with safety top of mind, ensuring we're comfortable working from start to finish.

Doing Grounded Outlet Installation Right

Getting a modern grounded outlet installation in is super important for ensuring your appliances remain in good condition and stopping shock hazards.

• Hooking up the Ground Wire: The ground wire is the bare copper or green-insulated wire. We make sure to secure the ground wire from the electrical box to the green ground screw on the new outlet - and we check that it's tight so there's a safe path for fault current.

• Connecting the Power Wires: We connect the white wire (neutral) to the silver screws on one side of the new outlet and the black wire (hot) to the brass screws on the other. We wrap the exposed copper wire ends around the correct screw terminals instead of using those flimsy push-in terminals - and make sure they're good and tight. And we check the wire insulation is just about touching the brass screw head.

• Making sure the New Outlet is Secure: We give the wires a quick tidy, then install the new outlet unit using the long screws provided, making sure it's nice and straight inside the wall hole. We double-check those screws before putting the faceplate back on.

We can handle installing a single outlet or a bunch all over the room with the same setup.

Expert Light Switch Replacement and Upgrade

Our services cover all sorts of switches - so you can upgrade your lighting controls without all the fuss.

1. Switch Wiring: For a standard light switch replacement, the wiring's pretty straightforward - just hook up the black wire (hot) power line to interrupt the circuit. We connect the black wires to the two screw terminals on the new switch unit - and secure them properly.

2. Installing a Dimmer Switch: If you want a dimmer switch unit, the wiring's a bit more involved - it usually involves connecting two black wires (load and line) and a ground wire. We follow the manufacturer's instructions and connect the wires using wire connectors. And it's a great way to make your lights much more versatile.

3. Electric Switch Upgrade: We can easily replace outdated or broken switches with modern toggle, rocker, or smart switches. We make sure the new switch is configured correctly to control your lights and is properly grounded.

We make sure to verify that every light switch replacement and electric switch upgrade is done safely and sound before we even think about flipping the breaker back on.

The Step-by-Step Installation Process We Follow

We strive for perfection in everything we do, so you can be sure your new plugs and switches will be safe to use the moment we finish.

1. Safety First: We turn off the power to the right circuit at the breaker box and perform a safety check to confirm the power is off with a voltage tester. Then we unscrew and remove the faceplate and the old outlet or light switch.

2. Connecting the New Outlet: We hook the ground wire up to the green ground screw. Then we attach the black wire to the brass screws and the white wire to the silver screws, making sure the wire is securely wrapped around the screws. After that, we install the new outlet into the electrical box.

3. Switch Installation: When we're replacing a light switch, we connect the wires to the switch and install it into the wall box. If we're installing a dimmer switch, we follow the instructions.

4. Finishing Off and Testing: We attach the final faceplate or plate cover over the outlet or switch, and then turn the power back on at the electrical panel by flipping the breaker. We test the new outlet with a lamp or charger, and we test the lights to make sure the new switch is working correctly. Finally, we double-check that the plate is free from any paintwork.
