Why should I upgrade my outlets?

Outdated outlets can pose safety risks, especially if they lack grounding or GFCI protection. Modern outlets improve safety, provide additional functionality like USB ports, and help your home meet electrical codes. We can assess your needs and recommend the right upgrades.

When should I replace a switch or outlet?

If an outlet feels hot, is loose, sparks, or doesn’t hold plugs firmly, it should be replaced immediately. Similarly, faulty or stiff light switches can indicate internal damage. We recommend replacing any fixture showing signs of wear or malfunction.

What is a GFCI outlet and where should it be installed?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet protects against electrical shock in wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoors. It shuts off power instantly if it detects a fault. GFCI outlets are required by code in many areas of the home.

Can you install USB outlets or smart switches?

Yes, we install USB-equipped outlets and smart switches that integrate with home automation systems. These upgrades are a simple way to modernize your home and add convenience. We’ll help you choose the best options for your needs.

How long does it take to install new outlets or switches?

Simple replacements typically take less than an hour. Installing new outlets where none existed can take a bit longer if new wiring or circuits are needed. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

Is it expensive to upgrade all the outlets in my home?

Upgrading outlets is a relatively affordable project compared to full rewiring. Costs vary depending on the number of outlets and the types you choose. We provide upfront quotes so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Yes, every Aux Home Services electrician is fully licensed, insured, and trained to complete safe, code-compliant installations. We stand behind all our work with a satisfaction guarantee.

Do you offer financing for larger electrical projects?

Yes! Financing is available for larger electrical upgrades, including outlet rewiring, whole-home safety improvements, and surge protection installs.

I can only speak for my experience with Nick as an employee of the company. My older house had multiple plumbing challenges where the plumbing parts needed to repair the leaks were for no name brand shower faucets. The only option offered by the 4-5 other companies I obtained estimates from was to replace the whole system with a new one. I was shocked when Nick informed that he could likely find the replacement parts needed at an unconventional plumbing supply store and not have to replace to whole plumbing system. Repairing the multiple plumbing issues was much cheaper than having to replace the the system. None of the other companies even provided repairing as an option! Shout out to AUX for allowing Nick the latitude to go out and search for the parts. I am thinking most companies would not have allowed the technicians the time to do that!
