Electrical Outlets + Switches

Safety and convenience at your fingertips.

Outlets and switches might be outdated in your home, to the point that they make it a bit unsafe to plug your devices and appliances in. They might also reduce the efficiency of anything that's inserted into the outlet as well. Give the friendly, knowledgeable technicians at Upstate Electrical Solutions a call and we'll have someone come out to look at your specific situation. If we find an issue, or if you already know the outlets and switches in your house are outdated and/or low-quality, we can help you replace them with more-current models that are safer and more efficient to use.

Common Electrical Problems with Your Outlets + Switches

How can you check things out yourself to see if your outlets and switches need to be rewired, repaired or replaced? As usual, the easiest way is to check for a few common signs that tell you things aren't as safe or efficient as they could be. These signs aren't always obvious to the unsuspecting homeowner, so read on to find out if you need us to give you some help.

Your electric bill seems higher than it should be: If you've got a general idea of what your home's electric bill should be, and it seems like you're being charged an arm and a leg for energy usage, it could very well be that the wiring to your outlets and switches — or the outdated or worn materials themselves — are causing your devices and appliances to run inefficiently. Call one of our professionals over, and they'll check to see if there's a problem of this sort. If there is, they'll also help you with any rewiring or outlet replacement you need to get your bills back to a reasonable rate.

You can feel heat radiating from one of your outlets: You might feel a small warmth coming from a light switch equipped with a dimmer, but you should never feel any heat coming from an electrical outlet. If you notice this happening, absolutely do not use the outlet — give us a call and we'll root out the source of the problem for you.

One of your switches or outlets stops working entirely: This is a massive inconvenience, but sometimes improper wiring or cheap material can cause an outlet or switch to temporarily stop working or go dead entirely. If this happens, you don't have much of a choice but to have the whole thing outright rewired and/or replaced. Call up one of our pros and we'll send them over to help you fix the issue.

You need electricity to access some of the most important and beloved things in your home. If you've got some problems that require repairs or replacement, give Upstate Electrical Solutions a ring and we'll send someone over that can get your system to work with quality outlets and switches.
