For most modern homes, you should be able to use the existing circuits when you install a new outlet. It is highly recommended to have a licensed electrician install any circuits and/or outlets in your home as electrical work can be very hazardous, potentially resulting in electrical shock or fire. Our lighting experts at Van Fleet Services have all of the knowledge, skills, and experience to properly install any circuits or outlets you need put in your home.

The price to install new outlets will depend on a few things that your Van Fleet Services electrician will determine after assessing your home. Van Fleet Services always offers a fair and honest estimate before ever doing any work.

Generally speaking, a modern bedroom will need one outlet for every 12 feet of wall space, with a minimum of one outlet on each of the walls in the room. It also comes down to preference as well. Some homeowners prefer to have additional outlets in their rooms. A Van Fleet Services certified electrician can also help guide you as to how many outlets would be appropriate for each room in your home.

The three different grades of outlets include homeowner outlets which are intended for residential use in homes where devices are not constantly running, commercial outlets which are intended for commercial use in locations that require devices to be running fairly constantly, and lastly, hospital outlets which are for use in medical environments where devices absolutely need to be running at all times. 

While it is possible to install an outlet yourself, it is advised to have a licensed electrician from Van Fleet Services do the job as electrical work is often complex and can cause serious hazards such as electric shock and/or fire, if not done properly. Our licensed electricians have gone through the proper training and passed certifications that provide them the skills, knowledge, and experience to install outlets and other electrical systems safely and correctly.
