When a room has only one outlet and it is already full, or a hallway light can only be switched from one end, a small change can make daily use much easier. In Northbrook, Oakbridge Home Services (Somax Group LLC) installs and replaces outlets and switches, including three-way switches and USB outlets for charging, based on a list and photos you send in advance.
What this work includes
- Three-way switch replacement for lights controlled from two places
- USB combo outlet installation for charging areas
- Standard outlet replacement for worn, loose or damaged outlets
- Light switch replacement for switches that stick or feel loose
- Dimmer switch installation, including LED-compatible dimmers
- GFCI outlet installation for kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors
- Outlet and switch cover and plate replacement
- Troubleshooting a dead outlet by replacement when the outlet itself has failed
Examples include a hallway light changed to a three-way switch, a USB outlet added beside a desk, and a worn kitchen outlet replaced. Note whether the light is already controlled from two places, so the right switch type is priced.

What the price depends on
The price depends on the number of outlets and switches, the type of each one, and whether a plate is replaced. A three-way switch is priced differently from a standard switch, so say how many places control the light.
