Outdoor outlets take the hardest wear — weather, covers that no longer close, and plugs that feel loose after years outside. In Wheeling, Oakbridge Home Services (Somax Group LLC) installs and replaces outlets and switches, with outdoor GFCI outlets and weatherproof covers as the focus, alongside standard indoor replacement.
What this work includes
- GFCI outlet installation for outdoors, kitchens and bathrooms
- Outdoor outlet cover replacement, including weatherproof covers
- 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
- USB combo outlet installation for charging areas
- Three-way switch replacement for lights controlled from two places
- Outlet and switch cover and plate replacement
- Troubleshooting a dead outlet by replacement when the outlet itself has failed
Examples include an outdoor GFCI outlet with a new weatherproof cover, a loose indoor outlet replaced, and a kitchen outlet changed to a GFCI outlet. For outdoor work, say whether the cover still closes, so the right cover is priced.
