Sometimes the outlet itself works, but everything around it looks tired: a cracked plate, a cover that no longer sits flat, or a switch that has yellowed and no longer matches the room. In Mount Prospect, Oakbridge Home Services (Somax Group LLC) handles outlet and switch replacement, including covers and plates, so the finished result looks tidy as well as working properly.
What this work includes
- Outlet and switch cover and plate replacement, including cracked, missing or discoloured plates
- Standard outlet replacement for worn or damaged outlets
- Dimmer switch installation, including LED-compatible dimmers
- Light switch replacement for switches that stick or feel loose
- GFCI outlet installation for kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors
- USB combo outlet installation for charging areas
- Three-way switch replacement for lights controlled from two places
- Troubleshooting a dead outlet by replacement when the outlet itself has failed
Examples include replacing all the plates in a room at the same time as the outlets behind them, changing a dated switch and its plate together, and fitting a dimmer where a single bright light used to be the only option.
