Outlets and Plugs in Atlanta, GA

Loose plugs, outdated outlets, or a lack of power where you need it can all become major safety issues. At Atlanta Master Electricians, we install and repair all types of electrical outlets for homes and businesses across the metro Atlanta area—keeping your wiring safe, secure, and up to code.

Whether you need new GFCI outlets in your kitchen, USB outlets in your bedroom, or tamper-resistant plugs for child safety, we handle it all. We also diagnose and fix common outlet problems like sparking, overheating, or dead receptacles—often the same day.

Outlets may seem like a small upgrade, but they carry serious risks when installed improperly. Our licensed electricians provide clean, professional installation with safety-first workmanship, ensuring long-lasting performance you can trust.

• Standard 120V and 240V outlet installation

Common Reasons to Upgrade or Replace Outlets

1. Two-Prong or Ungrounded Outlets

These outdated outlets don’t support modern electronics and create a shock risk.

2. Burned, Loose, or Hot Outlets

This could be a sign of a bad connection, overloaded wiring, or a fire hazard.

3. No GFCI Protection in Wet Areas

Outlets near sinks, tubs, or outdoor areas should be GFCI-protected to prevent shock.

4. You Need More Convenient Outlets

We install plugs exactly where you need them—no more tripping over extension cords.

5. New Appliances or Home Additions

Heavy-duty devices like dryers, ranges, and EV chargers often require custom plugs and circuits.

Outlet Types We Install

• Standard 15A and 20A household outlets

• 30A/40A/50A plugs for stoves, dryers, and spa equipment

• GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets

• AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection

• USB combination outlets

• Smart outlets with app control

• Weatherproof outdoor outlets with in-use covers

• Pop-up countertop and furniture-mounted outlets

• Floor boxes for living rooms or conference spaces

We’ll help you select the right outlet for your needs, location, and electrical load.

When to Call a Licensed Electrician for Outlet Work?

Outlet installation and repair may seem simple—but it involves direct contact with your home’s electrical system. Always hire a professional if:

• An outlet is sparking, hot, or making buzzing sounds

• You’re installing outlets on new walls or additions

• You need a higher-voltage plug or specialty device

• You’re upgrading to USB, GFCI, or smart outlets

• You want to replace multiple outlets at once for safety or aesthetics

We test every outlet for polarity, grounding, and voltage—and guarantee a clean, code-compliant installation.

Outlet Safety Requirements by Code

• GFCI outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, crawlspaces, basements, laundry rooms, and outdoor areas

• Tamper-resistant (TR) outlets are required in homes with children or in any new construction

• AFCI protection is often required for living rooms, bedrooms, and common areas in newer builds

Local Testimonial

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why does my outlet spark when I plug something in?

A small spark can be normal, but if it's large, consistent, or accompanied by heat or smell, it may indicate faulty wiring or a loose connection. Call us to inspect.

2. Can I just add an outlet myself if I have the tools?

We don’t recommend it. Improper wiring can cause fire or shock hazards. Plus, you may need permits depending on the location or type.

3. Do USB outlets require different wiring?

No, they use standard wiring, but they do need proper grounding and a correctly sized box. We’ll make sure everything fits and meets code.

4. What’s the difference between GFCI and AFCI?

GFCI protects against shock in wet areas; AFCI protects against arc faults (electrical fires). Some areas require both protections, depending on your panel.

5. Can you install outlets in brick or concrete walls?

Yes. We have the tools to safely cut and mount outlets in masonry surfaces, using code-approved boxes and conduit as needed.
