Electrical Switches and Outlets

Repair

If there is a problem with your lighting, it will not work or the lights may flicker. Similarly devices and appliances may malfunction permanently, due to either too much power being sent to the device or to little.  In some cases, there may be a problem with the lighting, fan or other appliance connected to the electric switch. The other point of failure could be the outlet that you plug the device into.

The switch and outlet has metallic parts, which may get misaligned and not make proper contact. Or they may get corroded or broken. This can also lead to sparking, a burning smell. Improper or loose wiring is another reason why the outlet or switch malfunctions. Arcing is where the electricity is traveling through the air between contact points. This cause a slight burn to the contact and the open spark is a definite fire hazard.

Property owners should be aware that it is dangerous for an untrained person to try repairing the electrical problems, since there is always a risk that the person could get an electrical shock. Our staff is well trained in handling all kinds of electrical problems safely and efficiently.

We also have the latest diagnostic tools to identify the cause of the problem. Our staff will first check the electrical installation in the areas where a problem is observed. In case the wiring is loose or damaged, our technicians will connect the wiring properly, replacing the damaged wires if required.

Replacement

In some cases, the electric switches and outlets may be damaged, broken, corroded and cannot be repaired. In this case, we recommend replacement of the switches and outlets. Depending on the connections for the switches and use of outlets, we may recommend replacement with the latest models available, having better features.

After the property owner, approves the replacement, our staff at Bray, will remove all the damaged switches, outlets carefully, without damaging the wall. The new switches or outlets will be connected to the wiring according to the existing electrical code and tested to ensure that they work properly.

New installation

In addition to installing the electrical outlets and switches and doing the wiring work, for newly constructed homes and buildings, we also can install new outlets, switches based on the requirement of the property owner. Home owners are always adding new appliances and lighting to their home as part of their home improvement projects.

Hence they may require additional electrical outlets and switches installed. We check the existing wiring and help finalize the location and rating of the new switches after consulting the property owner. We then procure and install these new electrical outlets and switches in specific areas and test the installation once it is complete.
