Related Electrical Work

Outlet problems are often symptoms of larger electrical issues. If multiple outlets on the same circuit are failing, your home may need rewiring or a panel upgrade. Adding new outlets as part of a kitchen or bathroom remodel requires new circuits and GFCI protection. If you are adding a 240V outlet for an EV charger or dryer, we handle the full installation including panel work. We also recommend whole-home surge protection to safeguard everything plugged into your outlets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard outlet replacement costs $75 to $150 per outlet. GFCI outlet installation costs $100 to $200 per location. Adding a new outlet where none exists (requiring new wiring) costs $150 to $350. C.S.W. Power Solutions provides free estimates with transparent, itemized pricing.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are required by code in all wet locations: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, outdoor areas, and within 6 feet of any water source. If your home was built before the 1990s and still has standard outlets in these areas, upgrading to GFCI is strongly recommended for safety.
Common causes include a tripped breaker, a tripped GFCI outlet upstream on the same circuit, a loose wire connection, or a worn-out outlet. If resetting breakers and GFCI outlets does not fix the problem, the issue likely requires a licensed electrician to diagnose. Do not attempt to open or repair outlets yourself.
Yes. We install combination outlets with built-in USB-A and USB-C charging ports. These are popular in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, and living rooms. They replace standard outlets and provide convenient device charging without adapters.
In San Antonio, adding new outlets that require running new wiring from the electrical panel requires a permit. Simple outlet replacements on existing circuits do not. C.S.W. Power Solutions handles all permitting as part of the job — you never have to visit the permit office.
AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets detect dangerous electrical arcs that can cause fires. Current electrical code requires AFCI protection in bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and most other living spaces. If you are remodeling or adding circuits, AFCI protection is required. We install both AFCI outlets and AFCI breakers.
