Outlet and Switch Services We Provide for Colorado Springs Homes
New Outlet Installation
We install new electrical outlets in convenient locations like behind a coffee station, home office desk, entertainment center, kitchen island, or workshop so you don’t have to rely on extension cords.

Old Outlet and Switch Replacement
We replace worn, damaged, or outdated outlets with modern grounded receptacles and install new switches that operate safely and reliably every day.
Older Colorado Springs Homes Never Seem to Have Enough Outlets
A house built in the 1960s was wired for a lamp, a radio, and maybe a television. Today one living room can hold a TV, a console, a router, two laptops, and three phone chargers.
The rules have changed with the times. Colorado follows the National Electrical Code, which the Colorado State Electrical Board sets as the statewide minimum. Newer editions require more outlets in living spaces and GFCI protection near water.
Older homes were built to the rules of their day, so they often come up short. You may find two-prong outlets with no ground, a single outlet on a long wall, or a bathroom with none at all.
The fix is usually simple. We add circuits and outlets where you want them, ground what needs grounding, and leave the drywall neat.

Outlets Measured Twice for a New Coffee Bar
Small jobs still deserve careful work. Jacqueline Nyberg watched our electrician Trevor take his time.
“Trevor did a great job installing two outlets and wiring for a light for our new coffee bar. He also moved a light switch for us. He was a complete professional and measured everything several times to ensure the switches and outlets were aligned at the right height. I will definitely use this company again in the future!”
Straight lines and even heights are the standard on every install. Read Jacqueline’s full Google review.
A Melted Outlet Fixed and Explained the Same Evening
One bad outlet can take a whole run down. Eleanor Wonciar had hers working that night.
“Tyler and Noah came out this evening to fix an outlet that had a power strip melt to it and stopped all the other outlets on the line from working. They gave great information when I asked questions, did the job well and quickly so we could use our outlets again. I will definitely use them for future work.”
We tell you what failed and why, then fix it. Read Eleanor’s full Google review.

How long does it take to install a new outlet?
Most standard outlet installations take one to two hours. The exact time depends on your home’s age, wall construction, access to wiring, and whether a new circuit is needed. Many Colorado Springs homes have finished basements, older electrical layouts, or upgraded appliances that require careful planning. Our electricians evaluate your electrical panel, determine the safest installation method, and explain the process before adding a new outlet.
Where are GFCI outlets required in homes in Colorado Springs?
GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are required where electrical equipment may come into contact with moisture, helping protect your family from electrical shock hazards. We commonly install and replace GFCI outlets in Colorado Springs kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, basements, crawl spaces, exterior walls, and outdoor areas. Since Colorado Springs homes experience seasonal weather changes, properly installed outdoor GFCI protection is especially important for patios, landscaping equipment, holiday lighting, and exterior electrical use.
Can you install a new outlet without damaging my walls?
In many cases, yes. Our electricians use techniques to route wiring through existing walls with minimal disruption. The installation approach depends on your home’s construction, including drywall, finished basements, older framing, or limited access areas. If a small opening is needed to complete the work safely, we keep the repair area as small as possible and leave the space clean after installation.
Should I replace old two-prong outlets in my home?
If your home still has two-prong outlets, upgrading them is a smart safety improvement. Many older Colorado Springs homes were built before today’s electrical demands, and two-prong outlets lack the grounding protection needed for modern electronics, appliances, and charging devices. We inspect your wiring and recommend the right solution, whether installing grounded outlets, GFCI protection, or other electrical updates to improve safety and reliability.
Can you install outdoor electrical outlets for properties in Colorado Springs?
Yes. Outdoor outlets require specialized equipment and installation methods to withstand Colorado’s weather, including freezing temperatures, snow, rain, and temperature swings. We install weather-resistant GFCI outlets, proper covers, and outdoor-rated electrical components for patios, decks, garages, landscaping equipment, outdoor kitchens, and holiday lighting. A professionally installed exterior outlet provides convenient power access while protecting your electrical system.
Can you add outlets for home offices, appliances, and modern electronics?
Yes. Many Colorado Springs homeowners need additional outlets as their homes adapt to new technology, remote work, and increased electrical demand. We install dedicated outlets for home offices, entertainment systems, refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers, EV chargers, and other equipment that requires additional capacity. Before installation, we check your electrical panel and circuits to ensure the new outlet is safe, properly sized, and compatible with your home’s electrical system.
