Outlet and Switch Installation in Whitby

New outlets where you actually need them, GFCI protection where code requires it, and smart switches that work the first time.

Outlets and switches are the part of your electrical system you touch every day, and the part that shows its age first. Two-prong receptacles with no ground. Kitchen counters short on outlets. A bathroom without GFCI protection. Switch plates warm to the touch.

We add, move, replace, and upgrade outlets and switches across Whitby homes. That includes the wiring behind them: new circuits where the existing one is overloaded, proper grounding, and GFCI or AFCI protection where the Ontario Electrical Safety Code calls for it.

Where does code require GFCI outlets?

Under the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, GFCI protection is generally required for receptacles near sinks, in bathrooms, and outdoors, among other locations. Rather than memorizing the rulebook, have us walk through: we will tell you which of your outlets need it and which are fine as they are.

Why does my smart switch need a neutral wire?

Most smart switches need constant power to stay connected to your network, which requires a neutral conductor in the switch box. Many older Whitby homes do not have one there. We can run the neutral, or recommend no-neutral switch models where that makes more sense.

Can I just use plug-in adapters instead of new outlets?

Power bars and adapters are fine for light loads, but they do not fix an overloaded circuit, and daisy-chaining them is how breakers end up tripping. If you are living on extension cords in a room, that is the signal the room needs another circuit or two.

My outlets are two-prong. Do I have to replace them all?

Not necessarily all at once. Options range from grounding individual circuits to GFCI-protecting ungrounded receptacles as the code allows. We will lay out the choices room by room so you can prioritize.

Need outlets where the cords will not reach?
