Common Reasons to Install Receptacles

Remodeling, Room Additions, Repurposed Spaces

The most common reason to install a new receptacle is during a remodel or during a room addition to your home. Certified electricians at Sanborn’s will listen to your energy needs and create the best plan for your space. 

Another reason to consider new receptacles is when you repurpose a room. New receptacles can reduce the need for powerstrips and extension cords. Installing GFCI outlets should be considered under certain circumstances. 

Faulty Receptacles

If any outlet no longer works, the receptacle should be replaced. While this seems like a common sense issue, outlets may fail for many reasons. Sanborn’s will install a new receptacle and advise if there are other issues within your electrical system.

Flickering

Lamps may flicker and appliances may surge for a number of reasons. Aging receptacles may need to be replaced. The outlet may not be capable of meeting the demands. Our professional electricians will help determine the best solution to protect the expensive appliances.  

Plugs Fall Out 

What may seem like an annoyance is potentially dangerous. If plugs are loose, arcing may occur. A plug that falls out of an outlet, indicates a faulty receptacle. Installing a new receptacle with Sanborn’s should be scheduled in a timely manner.

Cracked or Chipped Plate

Damaged receptacles should be replaced. Dust and debris can collect in cracks risking fire and arcing.

Warm or Hot to Touch

Receptacles that feel warm or hot indicate worn, damaged or improper installation. These receptacles should not be used until our electricians inspect and fix the issue.

Burning or Melting

Any damage to an electrical receptacle is cause for attention. Burns on the outlet or cover plate indicate potential danger within your wiring. You should immediately contact Sanborn’s to address and fix these risks.
