Professional Outlet and Switch Installation in Pasadena
At Electrician Burbank CA, we provide expert outlet and switch installation services throughout Pasadena and surrounding areas. Since 2015, our skilled team led by Roger F Shumake has helped homeowners and businesses maintain safe, functional electrical systems. Whether you need to install new outlets, upgrade outdated switches, or replace faulty components, our licensed electrician professionals deliver reliable solutions that prioritize both safety and convenience.
Why Professional Outlet Installation Matters
Proper electrical outlet and switch installation is essential for protecting your home from electrical hazards. Faulty wiring or improper connections can lead to electrical shocks, overheating, and even fire risks. Many older homes lack sufficient outlets for today’s many devices, leading homeowners to rely on extension cords—a practice that can become hazardous over time.
Our team understands that modern homes require strategic outlet placement to accommodate everything from kitchen appliances to home office equipment. We install various outlet types including standard outlets, GFCI outlets for areas prone to moisture, USB outlets for charging convenience, and smart outlets that integrate with home automation systems. Each installation meets strict electrical codes to ensure your system operates safely and efficiently.
Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets are critical components in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces where water exposure increases shock risks. These specialized outlets detect ground fault conditions and immediately cut power to protect you and your family.
Our Outlet and Switch Installation Services
We handle both residential and commercial electrical projects, customizing each installation to meet your specific needs. Our services include:
New Outlet Installation: Installing new outlets where you need additional power access eliminates the need for portable extension cords and provides dedicated power for appliances and electronics.
Outlet Replacement: Old or damaged outlets should be replaced promptly. We inspect outlets to identify wear, loose connections, or other issues that could cause malfunction.
Switch Installation and Replacement: From standard light switches to dimmer controls and smart switches, we install and replace electrical switches throughout your property.
GFCI Outlet Installation: Required by code in wet locations, these circuit interrupter outlets protect against electrical shocks by detecting imbalances in electrical current.
USB Outlets: Modern USB outlets combine traditional power with built-in charging ports, reducing clutter and improving functionality.
Outlet Upgrades: Upgrading from two-prong to three-prong grounded outlets improves safety and allows you to use modern appliances without adapters.
Our electrician team works closely with each customer to determine the best outlet or switch configuration for your space, whether you’re renovating, adding rooms, or simply need to install additional outlets for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are GFCI outlets and where should they be installed?
GFCI outlets (ground fault circuit interrupters) protect against electrical shocks by detecting current imbalances and shutting off power immediately. They’re required in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, and outdoor areas—anywhere water and electricity might come into contact. The button on GFCI outlets allows you to test and reset the device regularly.
How do I know if I need new outlets?
Consider outlet replacement if you notice discoloration, loose connections, outlets that don’t grip plugs firmly, or any burning smell near outlets. Homes built before the 1960s often have two-prong outlets that lack proper grounding—these should be upgraded for safety. If you frequently use extension cords because you don’t have enough outlets, installing additional outlets improves both safety and convenience. Install smoke detector in your home to be safe.
Can I install outlets myself?
Electrical work requires specific knowledge and skills to complete safely. Improper installation can create serious hazards including fire risk and shock potential. Our licensed electrician professionals have the training and experience to ensure installations meet code requirements and function properly. The investment in professional installation protects your home and family. (Note: This is not a condition of purchase, but a recommendation for your safety.)
What’s involved in switch installation?
Switch installation includes turning off power at the circuit breaker, removing the old switch, checking wiring for damage, connecting the new electrical switch with proper wire configurations, securing the switch in the electrical box, and testing operation. Different switch types (standard, dimmer, three-way, smart) require specific wiring approaches.
How much does outlet installation cost?
Installation costs vary based on several factors: outlet type, location, whether new wiring is needed, and the complexity of the job. We provide transparent estimates before beginning any work so you know exactly what to expect. Give us a call for a free estimate on your specific project.
