Do You Need a New Outlet or Switch?
Outlets and switches are easy to overlook, until something stops working the way it should.
A loose outlet, warm switch, or frequently tripped breaker can be a sign that your electrical system needs professional attention.
You may also need new outlets or switches simply because your home’s electrical needs have changed. Whether you’re adding more charging locations, upgrading your lighting controls, or remodeling a room, Laswell can help determine the right solution.
Signs It May Be Time for an Upgrade
Loose or Damaged
Outlets or switches that move, crack, discolor, or no longer hold plugs securely.
Not Enough Outlets
Too few outlets can lead to extension cords, power strips and inconvenient charging locations.
Frequent Breaker Trips
Breakers that trip repeatedly may indicate an overloaded circuit or another electrical issue.
Need Better Lighting Control
Upgrade to dimmers, three-way switches, or compatible smart switches.
Heat or Burning Smells
Outlets or switches that feel unusually warm or produce burning or unusual odors.
Need Better Protection
You may need GFCI protection in certain areas of your home, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, or outdoors.
Sparking or Buzzing
Sparking when plugging something in, buzzing, crackling, or other unusual electrical signs.
Want USB or USB-C Charging
Add convenient built-in charging without taking up a standard outlet.

Outlet & Switch Installation FAQs
Can you add an outlet where there isn't one?
Yes. Laswell can install a new electrical outlet in an appropriate location, provided the existing electrical system can safely support the new connection. Depending on the project, additional wiring or circuit work may be needed.
Can you replace old or damaged outlets?
Yes. We can replace worn, damaged, outdated, or loose outlets. During the installation, our electricians can also evaluate the outlet’s wiring and connections to help identify potential electrical issues.
What is a GFCI outlet?
A GFCI outlet is designed to help protect against electrical shock by interrupting power when it detects a ground fault. GFCI protection is commonly used in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, and outdoor locations.
Can you install USB or USB-C outlets?
Yes. Laswell can install compatible outlets with built-in USB or USB-C charging ports. These outlets provide convenient charging while keeping your standard receptacles available for other devices.
Can you install smart light switches?
Yes. We can install compatible smart switches that allow you to control lighting through an app, voice assistant, or other smart-home system. Compatibility with your existing wiring and smart-home setup should be confirmed before installation.
Can you install outlets and switches during a remodel?
Absolutely. Remodeling is an ideal time to plan outlet and switch locations because wiring can often be completed before walls are finished. Laswell can help determine where additional outlets, lighting controls, and other electrical connections may be useful.
Why is my outlet loose?
A loose outlet can be caused by a worn receptacle, loose mounting, or another electrical issue. If an outlet moves when you plug something in or remove a plug, it should be evaluated by a qualified electrician rather than ignored.
