What factors affect the cost of a switch or outlet repair?

  • Repairing or replacing: When a switch or outlet isn't working right, the first thing to do is determine what, if anything, needs to be replaced. A Golden Rule electrician will always bring damaged parts to your attention, and work closely with your budget to find the best solution for you and your family.
  • Electrical modifications: Electrical modifications are sometimes necessary if a home's wiring is particularly old. Modern appliances require more power than ever, so situations can come up where panel upgrades or even a whole-home or partial-home rewiring is necessary to accomplish the repair or replacement. We'll alert you to these situations during our diagnostic and have financing available for repairs or upgrades with higher costs.
  • Contractor experience: When hiring a company or individual contractor to repair or replace your switch or outlet, it's best to think in terms of value provided rather than the cost by itself. Golden Rule keeps our prices fair and adds additional protections that smaller contractors just can't provide. While their pricing may be slightly lower, Golden Rule's value simply can't be beat by any other electrical contractor in Des Moines.

Did an excellent job of describing all of our options and the process of their work.

Switch & Outlet Repair/Replace FAQ

Consider calling the expert electricians at Golden Rule if you notice:

  • Switches not working, or outlets not charging electronics/appliances
  • Faceplates that are either warm or hot to the touch
  • Sparks appearing when appliances are plugged into an outlet
  • Tripped breakers when certain outlets or switches are used
  • Cracks along the faceplate, or parts of the faceplate that have broken off

We highly recommend against making any electrical repairs in your home unless you've been trained as an electrician. Electrical work always carries some danger, and hiring a professional ensures you and your family remain safe through the process.

Customer Review

A great experience as always with the team at Golden Rule...

Hans was on time, professional, as well as personal in his approach. He introduced himself not only to me, but to my two dogs as well. He explained the process in detail and how he would proceed going forward. It was a great experience as always with the team at Golden Rule. Thank you, the Davis family @ Lake Panorama!
