What This Service Includes

1970s bedrooms with two outlets can't handle phones, laptops, monitors, and entertainment equipment. Kitchens lack required GFCI protection. Two-prong outlets won't accept modern plugs.

D & D Electric brings homes up to modern standards—GFCI protection where code requires, new circuits instead of overloaded power strips.

$100-$150 per replacement. New outlets $150-$300. New circuits $200-$500 plus per-outlet costs.

Can you add outlets without running wire through walls?

Surface-mounted raceway possible, but most prefer in-wall installation for appearance.

Do I need GFCI outlets in my kitchen and bathroom?

Code requires GFCI within 6 feet of sinks, all bathrooms, garage, and outdoor locations.

What's a tamper-resistant outlet?

Internal shutters prevent children from inserting objects. Required in all new installations.

Can smart switches work with my existing wiring?

What Our Customers Say

"D&D Electric has become our go-to electrician service. We first worked with them a few years back when we had an issue and other contractors couldn't schedule us and D&D by contrast came out the next day and did quality work for a reasonable price and were friendly and personable throughout."

"Gary and Scott were fantastic to work with. They hung two large chandeliers in our home and made them look like perfection. The team didn't leave until we were 100% satisfied, making tweaks along the job."
