Outlet Repair & Installation

If you’ve noticed that the electrical outlets in your home aren’t working as well as they use to, or they aren’t able to hold the plug, it may be time to repair or replace it. Having malfunctioning outlets can be a serious shock and fire hazard. If you notice that your outlets spark when you plug or unplug an appliance, it is a sign to install a new outlet. You mustn’t try to repair or replace your outlets without the help of a professional.

The standard household electrical outlet consists of two three-pronged, polarized receptacles. Each receptacle has a 120-volt ‘hot’ wire, a neutral wire and a ground. Since the code requires both ground or bound wire, it ensures both functional and safe delivery of power to your household.

GFCI Outlets

GFCI outlets are ground-fault circuit interrupters. These outlets contain test and reset buttons on them, and they are used to help prevent electric shocks. Codes require GFCIs in all homes, so older homes may need to update their outlets to GFCI outlets to keep their homes safe.

The electrical code requires you to have GFCI outlets installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas because these areas often get wet. The GFCI outlets’ built-in feature ensures safety. For example, if you were to blow dry your hair and dropped the dryer in a sink filled with water, the GFCI outlet would shut off the circuit to prevent electric shock.

Walter came out and assisted me with this install I wanted done asap. It was last minute but he was able to accommodate! He arrived on time prepared to immediately work but most importantly he respected my home and didn’t make or leave a mess. Rate was reasonable and he worked fast. Very knowledgeable and friendly guy. I’d definitely recommend 😊

We had an issue with a breaker - not urgent from our perspective, but something we wanted to have addressed prior to leaving town in the next couple of days. Walter was not only able to come the very next morning, but was able to return with a specific replacement part in less than 24 hours. He educated us on the likely causes of our electrical issues and how to prevent this and similar issues in the future. We have had negative experiences with specialty services and contractors in the past, but our experience with Mr. Sparky and Walter was a welcome change from that pattern. He was prompt, knowledgeable, communicative, polite, and resolved our issue quickly and for a very fair price. We will absolutely call him again when we need electrical services in the future.

Called Mr. Sparky 7:30am Thursday morning. Walter came out at 10am same day to review job and provide quote. Price was reasonable and Walter could come out next morning at 8am and begin work. I had a new 110V/20A outlet installed and a new 14-50 (240V/50A) outlet installed in my garage for my Tesla and welding equipment. Excellent work, communication and price. Only took 2 hours to complete my job. Very satisfied! Highly recommend Walter and Mr. Sparky in Columbia. Thanks Walter!

Jill Merchant

Walter provided excellent service! Very pleasant, communicative, and helpful. We had a problem with a circuit and while he was here, he was able to diagnose a problem with the sensors on the furnace, bringing heat back to our cold house. We were looking at a potential HVAC replacement so this diagnosis and repair was much appreciated. Many thanks!

I had an electrical fire in my wall and call mister sparky, the owner Walter cosmetic writhing an hour of that call on a weekend and fixed all the defective plugs in my house, then came back 2 days later to replace a brand new electrical panel in my house. This company does a great job and they are very pleasant.
