GFCI Outlet Installation

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are a crucial safety feature in areas where water and electricity are in close proximity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. These outlets are designed to shut off the power immediately if they detect an imbalance in the current, preventing electric shock. Our electricians can install GFCI outlets throughout your home to ensure you and your family are protected.

USB Outlet and Smart Switch Upgrades

To keep up with the latest technology, consider upgrading to USB outlets, which allow you to charge your devices directly without the need for a bulky adapter. We can also install smart switches, which can be controlled remotely from your smartphone, adding a new level of convenience and energy efficiency to your home. These are popular upgrades for homeowners looking to modernize their electrical systems.

Dedicated Circuit Installation

High-power appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and home theater systems, often require a dedicated circuit to operate safely and efficiently. A dedicated circuit ensures that these appliances have a consistent and reliable power source, preventing them from overloading your system and tripping your circuit breaker. Our team can install dedicated circuits for any of your high-power appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outlets and Switches

1. How do I know if I need to replace my outlets?

If your outlets are discolored, cracked, or can no longer hold a plug securely, it is time to have them replaced. Additionally, if your home has two-pronged outlets, we recommend upgrading to three-pronged outlets for improved safety.

2. What is the difference between a GFCI outlet and a standard outlet?

A GFCI outlet has a built-in safety feature that protects against electric shock by monitoring the flow of electricity and shutting off the power if it detects an imbalance. A standard outlet does not have this feature.

3. Can I install a new outlet myself?

While it may seem like a simple task, installing a new outlet involves working with live electrical wires and can be dangerous if not done correctly. We always recommend hiring a licensed electrician for any outlet installation to ensure it is done safely and up to code.

4. How many outlets can be on a single circuit?

The number of outlets allowed on a single circuit depends on the amperage of the circuit and the anticipated load. A licensed electrician can help you determine the appropriate number of outlets for your circuits to prevent overloading.

5. What are the benefits of upgrading to smart switches?

Smart switches offer a range of benefits, including the ability to control your lighting remotely, set schedules to save energy, and integrate with other smart home devices. They can add a new level of convenience and efficiency to your home.

"I highly recommend Holt! I needed my water heater replaced, and they came out and took the time to discuss all of my options and to make sure that I fully understood everything about the project. They did quality work, with all of the plumbing in traditional copper. That was important to me because I didn't want any of that PEX in my home! My entire basement looks cleaner and tidier because of the work they did! I was also very impressed that they didn't talk down to me as a woman. I like to do my own appliance maintenance and repairs when possible, and they respected my desire to understand everything about the installation and the prospective maintenance into the future."

"Holt heating and air conditioning installed our heating and air conditioning system and now we have the maintenance program with them. All the different people we'd have had out to do the semi annual maintenance have been courteous and professional in there attire and speaking to us. I would use them for other services in a heartbeat."

"Looking for a no fluff, no BS review of Holt? I got you... Over the past 15 years I've been a home owner, We've tried more companies that I could count. Lots of shady businesses out there... We were coming of a brand new HVAC installation just two years ago and the previous company completely botched it. It had problems within a month of installation and they were completely MIA. We ran it as long as we could to try and recoup the some cost, but it was a constant worry. Decided to give Holt a chance and we're so glad we did! Yes, they were more expensive, but it's the classic "you get what you pay for". 100% worth it! It's so hard to find a company that has the perfect mix of quality, punctuality, and honesty and Holt nails it. I genuinely appreciate their level of service and will pay a bit more to have someone I have the utmost confidence in doing the right thing. You should definitely give them a look if you need heating, cooling, or plumbing work."
