Why Salt Lake City Homeowners Call for Outlet Installation
Salt Lake City's housing spans over a century, and outlet counts reflect that. Homes in the Avenues, Liberty Park, and 9th & 9th often have two outlets per room — fine in 1940, not enough now. Kitchens in these older homes may lack the dedicated circuits required by current code for countertop outlets. Downtown condos and townhomes present different challenges: limited wall space, shared walls, and sometimes outdated wiring behind finished surfaces. We add outlets, replace worn or ungrounded receptacles, and install USB-equipped outlets throughout Salt Lake City homes. Every outlet we install meets current NEC grounding and tamper-resistant requirements.

Outlet Installation in Salt Lake City — FAQ
Are the two-prong outlets in my SLC home a safety issue?
Two-prong outlets lack a ground connection, which means there's no safe path for fault current. We can replace them with grounded three-prong outlets — though the wiring behind the wall determines whether a simple swap or a new ground wire is needed.
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Salt Lake City?
Adding a new outlet typically runs $125–$300 depending on how far the new location is from an existing circuit and whether drywall patching is involved. Replacing an existing outlet is less. We provide exact pricing before any work starts.
Do I need a permit to add outlets in Salt Lake City?
Adding a small number of outlets to existing circuits usually doesn't require a permit. Running new circuits from the panel typically does. We'll let you know during the estimate if a permit applies to your project.
