Socket Repair

The electricians in our network handle the full range: dead outlets that stopped working, receptacles that feel warm or look scorched, loose sockets that won't hold a plug, GFCI outlets that won't reset, and outlets that trip the breaker. They diagnose the cause, make the repair, and test it so you know it's safe.

Swapping a faceplate is one thing, but anything involving the wiring behind an outlet is work for a licensed pro. A faulty receptacle carries real shock and fire risk, and the electricians we work with have the tools and training to fix it correctly and leave it safe to use.

Most socket repairs run between $100 and $250, depending on the type of outlet, how easy it is to reach, and whether the wiring behind it also needs attention. A standard receptacle swap sits at the lower end, while a GFCI replacement or a repair that uncovers damaged wiring costs more. Your electrician confirms the price before any work begins.
