Outlet, GFCI & Dedicated Circuit Installation
More outlets where you need them, GFCI protection where code requires it, and dedicated circuits for the equipment that needs its own.

Running extension cords and power strips across the room is a sign your home or shop doesn't have enough outlets — or enough circuits behind them. Adding outlets the right way means checking what the circuit can carry, using the right wire and devices, and meeting current code.
ETL Electric installs and upgrades outlets of every kind, from a single kitchen GFCI to a 240-volt circuit for a welder in your shop.
What we do
GFCI outlets
Ground-fault protection shuts power off in a fraction of a second when current leaks to ground — the kind of fault that causes shocks. Current code requires it in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, laundry areas, outdoors and other damp locations.
New and relocated outlets
Add outlets where furniture, TVs, desks or appliances actually sit — indoors, on porches and patios, in garages and on exterior walls with weather-resistant in-use covers.
Dedicated circuits
Freezers, microwaves, space heaters, window AC units, home offices and shop equipment often need a circuit of their own so they don't trip breakers or share load with everything else.
240-volt and RV outlets
Circuits for dryers, ranges, welders, compressors and other 240V equipment, plus 30-amp and 50-amp RV outlets so you can plug in at home.
Two-prong outlet upgrades
Older homes often have ungrounded two-prong outlets. We can add a ground where practical, or install GFCI protection that code allows as a safe alternative.
USB and smart outlets
Outlets with built-in USB charging and smart outlets you can control from your phone.
Can I just swap a two-prong outlet for a three-prong one?
Not without a ground wire. A three-prong outlet with no ground behind it looks safe but isn't. If there's no ground, the code-compliant options are to run a ground or protect the outlet with a GFCI and label it — we'll tell you which makes sense for your home.
Why does my GFCI keep tripping?
A GFCI trips when it senses current leaking — often from moisture in an outdoor outlet or box, a damaged cord, or an appliance with a fault. Sometimes the GFCI itself is worn out. We'll find out which.

Outlet, GFCI & Dedicated Circuit Installation: common questions
Where are GFCI outlets required?
Current code requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors, laundry areas, unfinished basements and crawl spaces, and near sinks, among other places. Older homes weren't built to these rules, so adding GFCI protection is a common safety upgrade.
Do I need a dedicated circuit for a freezer or space heater?
Often, yes. Space heaters draw a lot of current and are a common cause of tripped breakers. Freezers are best on their own circuit so a trip elsewhere doesn't spoil food. We'll check what the manufacturer calls for.
Can you install an RV outlet at my house?
Yes. We install 30-amp and 50-amp RV outlets wired from your panel, sized for the distance to where you park.
