Outlet & Switch FAQ

Do I need a permit to replace an outlet or switch? β–Ύ
Yes β€” we handle all permitting and inspections as part of every installation. We manage the entire process: permit applications with LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety), plan review submissions, coordination with LADWP for service upgrades, scheduling inspections, and obtaining the final Certificate of Completion. The permit process typically takes 3-10 business days, depending on the scope of work. Permitting ensures code compliance and protects your insurance.
Can I install a smart switch myself? β–Ύ
Many smart switches require a neutral wire in the junction box. Older LA homes often lack neutrals at the switch. We can assess your wiring and recommend compatible models or run a neutral if needed.
Why do my outlets spark when I plug something in? β–Ύ
Sparking (arcing) indicates a loose connection, worn contacts, or damaged wiring. This is a fire hazard β€” stop using the outlet and call us for immediate inspection.
What's the difference between 15A and 20A outlets? β–Ύ
20A outlets (T-slot) are required for kitchen countertop circuits and laundry rooms. 15A outlets are standard for bedrooms, living rooms, and general use. We install the correct rating based on the circuit.
Do you install outdoor outlets? β–Ύ
Yes β€” we install weather-resistant (WR) outlets in while-use covers for patios, decks, and exteriors. All outdoor outlets must be GFCI protected.

How long does outlet/switch installation take? β–Ύ
Most single outlet/switch replacements take 30-60 minutes. Multiple installations or those requiring new circuits may take longer. We provide a time estimate during the quote.
