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.

It is my pleasure to provide this well deserved 5-Star review for electrical service done at my dad’s home in Sarasota by Brady Bower of Mister Sparky to install and connect a wire to a new appliance at the home. Brady was extremely professional and courteous. He provided clear answers to all my questions and performed a marvelous, safe and top notch job. I highly recommend him and Mister Sparky for any electrical needs you may have, no matter how complex. I also want to acknowledge Joshua Levy of Mister Sparky who came to the house the previous day on Sunday to evaluate and schedule the work promptly and to provide a great quote. Job well done!

We are happy customers! They were able to fit us into their schedule quickly. We needed dimmer switches installed for two chandeliers. Andrew was very friendly, courteous, and professional. He had them installed in no time and they work perfectly. Highly recommend Mr. Sparky, and Andrew!

- D Fenstermaker

Both technicians that took care of our situation did a great job. Their work was very neat. They arrived on time and kept me informed of what needed to be done as well as price. May not be the cheapest around but we'll worth it. I recommend them.
