Why Outlet and Switch Installation Isn’t a DIY Job

Outlets and switches are the most frequently used electrical components in your home. Yet, many homeowners try to replace them themselves — often without turning off the breaker, or without understanding grounding, polarity, or load limits. This leads to shocks, fires, and insurance denials.

The Hidden Risk

Loose outlets can arc internally — creating sparks that ignite surrounding materials. Ungrounded outlets leave you vulnerable to electrocution. Non-GFCI outlets in kitchens or bathrooms are a leading cause of fatal shocks. We’ve seen homes where DIY outlet replacements caused circuit overloads, melted wiring, and tripped breakers repeatedly — all because the neutral wire was connected incorrectly. This isn’t a minor mistake — it’s a life-threatening hazard.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

Home insurance providers routinely deny claims when they discover ungrounded, non-GFCI, or outdated outlets — especially in kitchens, bathrooms, or garages. During a home sale, inspectors flag these as “critical deficiencies,” forcing costly repairs or price reductions. We install every outlet to current code, provide documentation, and help you avoid insurance denials or sale delays — turning a potential liability into a selling point.

A Client’s Story: The Outlet That Almost Burned Down a Kitchen

“I had a kitchen outlet that kept sparking when I plugged in my toaster. I thought it was just the toaster. When I called Expertise Bolt-Duc, Michaël found the wires behind the outlet were charred — and the box was cracked. He replaced the entire circuit. We later learned our insurance would’ve denied a claim if the outlet had caught fire. We’re grateful we didn’t wait.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers from a licensed expert — no sales pitch.

We install standard 120V outlets, GFCI outlets for kitchens and bathrooms, AFCI outlets for bedrooms, USB-A/USB-C charging outlets, smart outlets, weatherproof outdoor outlets, and 240V outlets for EV chargers or appliances.
Old outlets can be loose, ungrounded, worn out, or lack GFCI/AFCI protection — all of which create shock and fire risks. If outlets are warm, spark, or don’t hold plugs securely, they need replacement immediately.
Yes. We install GFCI-protected outlets in garages, basements, laundry rooms, and workshops — as required by code. We also install 240V outlets for tools, heaters, or EV chargers.
Yes — but only if your home has a neutral wire in the switch box. Many older homes don’t. We assess your wiring first and recommend the safest, most reliable solution — whether it’s a smart switch, a smart outlet, or a whole-home automation system.
GFCI outlets are required by code in all wet areas: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, basements, and outdoor locations. If you don’t have them, you’re at risk of electrocution — especially during water exposure or spills.
Absolutely. We install dedicated circuits with surge protection and USB charging ports to keep your computers, monitors, and devices powered and protected.
Most single-outlet or switch installations are completed in under an hour. Multiple outlets or complex placements may take a few hours. We work cleanly and leave no debris.
Permits are rarely required for simple replacements. However, if we’re adding new circuits or modifying your panel, we handle all RBQ permits and inspections on your behalf.
Power strips are temporary solutions. Overloading them with high-wattage devices can cause overheating and fire. Installing additional outlets is the safe, permanent solution — and often required by insurance policies.
We install only CSA-certified products from trusted manufacturers like Leviton, Legrand, and Eaton. We avoid cheap, non-rated products that fail quickly or lack safety features.

Don’t Ignore That Sparking Outlet

A loose outlet or warm switch isn’t just annoying — it’s a fire hazard. If you’ve noticed flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or plugs falling out — it’s time to act. Your safety shouldn’t wait.
