Reasons to Update Outlets
Safety issues arise when an existing outlet or the wires attached to it become damaged. Installing a new outlet or new wires can prevent potential safety issues like shocks and electrical fires.
If you’re constantly having to go to the breaker box because the circuit breaker keeps tripping, seeing scorching on or around the cover plate of an existing outlet, or use multiple extension cords, these are all signs of faulty electrical wiring and signs it’s time for new outlets.
A professional electrician from Lombardi Electric can use an outlet tester to check your old wires. If we can get the old outlet working properly and ensure safety issues is resolved, we can replace the old wires and repair the old outlet.
However, in many cases, especially in cases where new wires are desperately needed, it’s best to install a new outlet altogether.
Types of Electrical Outlets We Can Install
Our licensed electrician team can install various types of electrical outlets, including the following.
GFCI Outlets
GFCI outlets (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets) are essential for areas exposed to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens. A GFCI outlet will turn off the power essentially if it detects a ground fault.
If you need a professional electrician to install a GFCI outlet in Alexandria, we install GFCI outlets according to current electrical codes, making sure each GFCI outlet is placed correctly in high-risk areas, like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. After installing your GFCI outlets, our electricians check each GFCI outlet thoroughly before completion for maximum safety.
USB Outlets
USB outlet installation in Alexandria offers a convenient way to charge any device directly from the wall without needing bulky chargers or extension cords. This upgrade is ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any area where device charging is frequent.
When we install USB outlets, a professional electrician from Lombardi Electric handles the electrical work, ensuring the receptacle has wires attached securely to the two silver terminals. Properly installed USB outlets with secured mounting screws provide safe and efficient electricity flow, making it easier to keep devices charged without cluttering the space with chargers or extension cords.
Smart Outlets
Smart outlet installation in Alexandria provides a convenient way to control any device or appliances connected to the wall remotely, helping to save electricity and add automation to your space. With the new electrical outlet with smart features, you can manage power for two receptacles securely, ensuring that each plug receives electricity only when needed.
You’ll need a professional electrician to install these, as smart outlets involve handling wire connectors and attaching a cover plate to ensure safe operation and reduce the risk of electrical fires. This ensures your smart outlets are working properly to control your devices and appliances from anywhere.
Switched Outlets
Switched outlet installation in Alexandria allows you to control appliances connected to a wall switch. Our electricians can install a new outlet or convert an old outlet into a switched outlet, where one receptacle is always live, and the other is controlled by a switch. This setup is ideal for managing electricity flow to lamps or other plug-in devices.
Child-Proof Outlets
Child-proof outlet installation in Alexandria is essential for reducing the risk of electric shock in homes with young children. A GFCI outlet is a popular option, as it will automatically turn off the power or electricity when it detects an imbalance, but we also offer child-proof cover plate options. Our professionals handle the electrical work, ensuring wires attached to the receptacle are securely fastened and hot wires are safely contained within the wall.
240v Outlets
Installing 240v outlets in Alexandria is essential for heavy-duty appliances like dryers and ranges. Unlike regular outlets with two receptacles for standard 120v plugs, 240v outlets typically has either three or four prongs to support the appliance’s needs and grounding requirements. When we install 240v outlets, we’ll connect them to a corresponding circuit breaker to safely handle the increased power and use secure wire connectors to minimize risks of electrical fires. Properly connected and working properly, 240v outlets ensure your appliances operate efficiently and safely.
Commercial Outlet Installation
Commercial outlet installation in Alexandria is vital for ensuring that electrical outlets in businesses meet the needs of the space. Professional commercial electrical installation in Alexandria includes professional electrical work to safely connect outlets to the breaker box for reliable power distribution.
Commercial settings often require specialized electrical outlets that handle higher loads, so a professional needs to install commercial outlets to prevent overloads and ensure safe, efficient operation.

- 120V (Standard) – Used for typical household devices like lamps, chargers, and small appliances.
- 240V (High-Power) – Required for large appliances such as dryers, ovens, and some power tools.
- USB Outlets (5V) – Integrated into wall outlets for directly charging devices without adapters, typically 5V output.

- AFCI Outlets (120V) – Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters to protect against electrical fire, often used in bedrooms.
- Combination Outlets – This can include both the 120V standard plug and USB ports, providing both types of outputs.
We also advise on the correct circuit breaker size.
