Outlets and switches are the daily contact points for your home’s electrical system. Loose receptacles, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and missing GFCI devices can pose shock and fire risks.
Consumer Services Electric repairs and installs residential receptacles, smart switches, USB charging outlets, and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) across Detroit.
Installations, Repairs, & Maintenance for Customers in the Detroit Metro Area & Southeast Michigan
Modernizing plugs, dimmer switches, and dedicated circuits throughout your home.
If plugs slip out of outlets loosely or wall plates feel warm, the internal contact tension has failed, generating resistance heating that can spark fires inside the wall box.
We replace damaged and obsolete receptacles with tamper-resistant (TR) outlets, add dedicated 20-amp kitchen small-appliance circuits, and install modern smart switches and USB-C integrated receptacles.

Understanding GFCI Outlet Installation
Life-saving shock protection engineered for wet and damp residential locations.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters monitor the balance of current flowing between the hot and neutral conductors. If an imbalance occurs, indicating current is leaking through water or a human body, the GFCI trips within milliseconds.
GFCI protection is recommended and required in residential bathrooms, kitchen countertops, wet bars, unfinished basements, crawlspaces, and outdoor locations.
