Professional Outlet Installation Services
From replacing a worn outlet to upgrading your entire home to modern standards, HK & Sons handles electrical outlet installation throughout Tallahassee. We work safely and ensure every outlet is properly wired and tested.
Types of Outlets We Install
Standard Outlets:
- 15-amp outlets for general use (most common)
- 20-amp outlets for high-draw areas like kitchens
- Tamper-resistant outlets (required in new construction)
GFCI Outlets:
- Required near water sources
- Protection from electrical shock
- Can protect downstream outlets on the same circuit
Specialty Outlets:
- USB charging outlets (built-in phone/tablet charging)
- 240V outlets for dryers, ranges, EV chargers
- Smart outlets with app control and scheduling
- Recessed outlets for behind furniture or wall-mounted TVs
Common Outlet Upgrades
Two-Prong to Three-Prong: Older homes often have ungrounded two-prong outlets. We’ll assess whether ground wire exists and recommend the safest upgrade path.
Standard to GFCI: Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor locations need GFCI protection. We can upgrade individual outlets or install GFCI breakers for whole-circuit protection.
Adding USB Charging: Replace standard outlets with combo units that include USB-A and USB-C ports for convenient device charging without adapters.
Safety and Code Compliance
Electrical work carries real risks if done incorrectly. We ensure:
- Proper wire connections - Secure, no exposed copper
- Correct polarity - Hot, neutral, and ground in the right places
- GFCI where required - Kitchens, baths, outdoors, garages
- Tamper resistance - Outlets in child-accessible areas
- Appropriate capacity - Right amperage for the circuit
