Fix Dead, Loose, or Unsafe Outlets—Fast
Worn or damaged outlets can overheat, shock, or fail when you need them most.
Happy Home Electricians replaces faulty receptacles and upgrades to modern safety outlets (GFCI/AFCI, tamper-resistant, weather-resistant) so your home stays safe and convenient.
Signs Your Outlets Need Replacement
- Outlets feel loose, won’t hold plugs, or only work intermittently
- Burn marks, melting, warmth, or a burning/ozone smell
- Two-prong (ungrounded) outlets or mixed old/new styles
- GFCIs that won’t test/reset or trip frequently
- Cracked covers, broken yokes, or buzzing/sparking when plugging in
- No GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, laundry, garage, outdoors

Not Sure It’s the Outlet?
Dead outlets can be caused by a tripped GFCI upstream, a weak breaker, loose neutrals, or a wiring fault.
We diagnose first, then replace only what’s needed.
- Circuit testing, polarity checks, and neutral/ground integrity
- Find hidden GFCIs and resolve nuisance trips
- Repair backstabbed connections with secure screw-lug terminations
- Trace multi-wire branch circuits and add proper handle ties
Safety & Code Compliance
Every replacement follows current electrical code and manufacturer specs: correct device ratings (15A/20A),
box fill, grounding/bonding, and proper GFCI/AFCI protection. We use copper conductors or listed AL/CU connectors where aluminum is present, torque to spec, and install weather/tamper-resistant devices where required.
