Outlet Installation in Sarasota

Need More Outlets? Call Us Today (941) 202-5688

Installing an outlet is an easy project, but it needs some consideration. It is definitely not a DIY project and requires a licensed electrician. Plus, between everything that you have to do from sunrise to sunset, let Mister Sparky® of Sarasota worry about your outlet installation.

When Should an Existing Outlet Be Replaced?

It’s a good idea to replace an outlet if:

It isn’t GFCI (code standard)
Plugs are loose or won’t stay in
It sparks or makes noise when inserting or removing a plug
The plate feels hot
Your CGFI cannot be reset or isn’t tripping properly

Almost no one tests their Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets, but doing so saves lives. One button says “test”, and one button says “reset”. About once a month, push “test”. “Reset” should pop out, and the power to the outlet should shut off. Push “reset” to go back to normal. If the buttons aren’t working, it needs a replacement.

Fun fact: The “reset” button is not being pushed out by a mechanical force from your finger! The button popping out is a quick response to electricity.

Where Can I Have a New Outlet Installed?

According to electrical code requirements, you are required to have an outlet located at particular intervals in your home. Aside from that, if you have a need for an outlet closer to a certain spot in your home, our Sarasota electricians can help you decide on the location of and install a new outlet for you.

Kyle did an outstanding job installing my Power Inlet Box for a portable Generator. Kyle arrived on time, explained the full process and how long the installation would take. Upon completion Kyle quickly walk thru the process of shifting from commercial to portable electricity in case of power failure. Kyle also explained what to do when the power to the house is restored and how to re-energize my circuits. After the demonstration Kyle answered all my questions and was very courteous and patient throughout the process. I highly recommend Kyle from Mister Sparky for your electrical needs. Mr. Jones

Ramon and Lucas were fantastic! Professional, courteous, friendly, and considerate. They hung some heavy chandeliers and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. They also added an outlet for a wall mount TV. We are so happy and would highly recommend Mr. Sparky!

I had a great experience with Mister Sparky. The assigned electrician arrived promptly and was very accommodating, agreeing to wear a mask and shoe covers as requested. He was polite and professional throughout the entire visit. He quickly and efficiently troubleshot the issue with my smoke detectors and installed six new ones. Unfortunately, one of the new detectors was defective and caused the others to go off shortly after he left. However, the electrician immediately returned to my home the next day to replace the faulty unit, which I greatly appreciated. Beyond the excellent repair work, he also took the time to discuss options for a future generator installation, providing me with detailed and helpful information. I highly recommend this company because they delivers as advertised.

I had electrical service completed by Lucas Brummel from Mister Sparky. He was so professional, knowledgeable and clean. I would highly recommend him.

- Susan Hollenbach

We were extremely pleased with our experience with Mr. Sparky. We were able to have an appointment the same day as the request. Matt was the most courteous and knowledgeable rep and explained what had to be done to provide us with surge protection. Theo was also very professional, skilled, courteous and friendly as he proceeded to do the work, again on the same day. We would not hesitate to refer and/or use this company again in the future!
