Need to update your home's receptacles?
Many homeowners do, but hiring an electrician often comes with steep fees.
For our local community members, I'm offering a great value service on a time-and-materials basis. This means you purchase the materials directly (or reimburse me at cost with no markup), and I only bill for my labor time.
GFCI receptacles: Typically $25-35 each if bought individually, or around $75-100 for three (depending on the model, like Leviton's Decora 15A tamper-resistant options).
Tamper-resistant or standard receptacles: About $12-26 for a box of 10 (e.g., Leviton Decora 15A white tamper-resistant packs).
Switches: Similar pricing to receptacles, around $12-26 for a box of 10 basic models (e.g., Leviton single-pole Decora switches in white), with variations for 3-way or dimmer types.
My labor rate is $75 per hour for replacing receptacles and switches, with a 1-hour minimum per job. This includes swapping in the new receptacle or switch along with a cover plate.
Of course, the final cost depends on your home's setup and code requirements. Certain older wiring may need upgrades to meet current standards, which would be quoted case-by-case (though this is uncommon). If your system qualifies for a straightforward swap, it's quick and affordable.
To check and see if your home qualifies, it is 20 bucks for me to pop out and take a look.
