GFCI and AFCI Protection Upgrades
Electrical codes require special protection in certain areas of the home to reduce the risk of shock and fire. Many older homes in Stamford and nearby towns were built before these requirements were standard.

- Combination GFCI and AFCI devices where required
- Replacement of improperly wired or non-functioning GFCI outlets
These upgrades not only improve safety but are often required during renovations or when preparing a property for sale or inspection.

Frequently Asked Question
How many outlets should a room have?
Electrical code requires outlets to be placed so that no point along the wall is more than six feet from an outlet. We can evaluate your space and ensure it meets current requirements.
Can I replace outlets or switches myself?
While minor replacements may seem simple, improper wiring can cause serious safety risks. A licensed electrician ensures correct installation and code compliance.
Do I need permits for outlet or switch installation?
Some installations require permits, especially when adding circuits or modifying wiring. We handle permits and inspections when required.
Can you install smart switches and outlets?
Yes. We install a wide range of smart devices and ensure they are compatible with your wiring and control systems.
Why do my outlets stop working even when the breaker isn’t tripped?
This can be caused by wiring issues, failed GFCI outlets, or loose connections. We can diagnose and repair the issue safely.
