When to Replace or Repair your Outlets or Switches
Determining whether to replace or repair the outlets or switches in your home can be difficult. You may want to do so for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you need a repair for safety reasons or perhaps you want a replacement for functionality reasons. Here are a few telltale reasons to keep an eye out for and consider when it comes to replacing or repairing your outlets or switches:
Cracked Plates
In the event that the plate protecting your outlet or switches cracked, you should have it repaired by Hero Home Services immediately. A cracked plate could lead to exposed wiring which can pose a safety hazard and be dangerous for those in your household.
Discoloration
If you have noticed streaks or general discoloration on the plate protecting your outlets or switches, you need a repair from a licensed electrician at Hero Home Services. Discoloration is a sign of power surges or overheating which can lead to a fire.
Relocation
Do the locations of your outlets or switches in your home no longer make sense for the space? If so, it’s probably time to relocate them. This can be a consuming process, but the experts from Hero Home Services have the know-how and ability to relocate them to make the space work best for your home.
Sparks or Smoke
If outlets or switches in your home ever spark or begin to smoke, you should stop using them immediately and contact a professional electrician. A professional electrician can safely repair the issue before any further damage can be done to your home electrical system.

Can you repair an electrical outlet?
Hero Home Services can repair your electrical outlets if you are experiencing problems. Additionally, electrical outlets are simple to replace if they are not worth repairing.
Why doesn't my light switch work for my lighting fixture?
There could be a few reasons why your light switch doesn’t work for your lighting fixture. More times than not, the issue is as simple as a tripped circuit, which affects the flow of power from your switch to your lighting. Other common issues are damaged wiring, burned-out or corroded contacts, or a problem with the wiring or light sockets in your light fixture. If you’re struggling to make your light switch work with your lighting fixture, call Hero Home Services to have a licensed electrician come take a look.
What is a GFCI outlet?
A GFCI outlet protects you from electrical shock if moisture is present. GFCI outlets are usually found in areas where there is a lot of water around such as your kitchen or bathroom. You can identify a GFCI outlet by the “test” and “reset” buttons on them. The “reset” button turns your outlet back on after it has tripped. If you’ve tried pressing the “reset” button multiple times to no avail, you will need to have a professional electrician from Hero Home Services diagnose the issue.
Can you install light switches yourself?
Generally, no. In some cases homeowners may be safe installing their own light switches for the simplest project. However, it is generally best to have a licensed electrician from Hero Home Services conduct the installation. That way, you can ensure that your light switches are up to code and safe for your family.
