Outlet Installation in Columbus, WI
Whether it is one extra outlet installation or switch and dimmer upgrades through the whole house, we keep it tidy. Columbus homeowners are often surprised how little wall damage a new outlet takes when the cable is fished by someone who does it every day.
About our outlet installations in Columbus
Adding an outlet is simple when the circuit has spare capacity and less simple when it does not, so we check before we cut. Wet and damp locations get GFCI protection: kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, laundry areas and anything outdoors. Older two-prong outlets can be upgraded to grounded or GFCI-protected ones. And if you have ever wished a switch was on the other side of the door, we move those too.
Columbus is part of the fast-growing Madison region, where century-old homes stand a few blocks from brand-new construction. In Columbia County we see everything from knob and tube in older farmhouses and foursquares to new builds that want EV charging, solar and smart controls from day one.
We provide outlet installations throughout Columbus and in nearby Fall River, Reeseville and Doylestown.

Columbus outlet installation FAQ
Why does my new LED bulb flicker on the old dimmer?
Older dimmers were built for incandescent loads. An LED-rated dimmer matched to your bulbs solves it in most cases.
How much does outlet installation cost in Columbus?
A new outlet near an existing circuit is a small job. Price rises with distance, wall type and whether a new circuit is needed. We give a per-outlet price before starting, and doing several in one visit lowers the cost of each.
Where are GFCI outlets required?
Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, unfinished basements, laundry areas, crawl spaces and all outdoor receptacles. Anywhere water and electricity can meet.
Can you replace two-prong outlets with three-prong?
Yes. We either run a ground, or where that is not practical, fit GFCI protection, which is an accepted way to provide safe three-prong outlets on ungrounded wiring.
