Electrical Home Re-Device Service

Upgrade Every Outlet, Switch, and Device for Safety, Style, and Code Compliance

Over time, outlets, switches, and other electrical devices wear out, discolor, or fall out of code— especially in older homes. At Second Opinion Electric, we provide expert whole-home re device services, replacing outdated or damaged electrical devices with new, code-compliant, and modern-looking components. This small upgrade makes a big difference in both safety and appearance.

What Is a Re-Device?

A home re-device involves replacing all receptacles (outlets), light switches, and cover plates throughout a home. This may include:

  • Standard 15A/20A outlets
  • Light and fan switches
  • Dimmer switches
  • GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in kitchens, baths, garages
  • AFCI protection (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters, where required)
  • USB charging outlets or specialty devices
  • New modern wall plates (decorative, screwless, or tamper-resistant)

When Should You Re-Device a Home?

  • Outlets or switches are loose, cracked, or discolored
  • Devices are hot to the touch or spark on use
  • Devices are ungrounded (2-prong) or show wear
  • GFCI protection is missing in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoors
  • Preparing for a home inspection, resale, or remodel
  • You want a clean, modern, uniform look throughout the home

Our Re-Device Process Includes

  • Visual and voltage testing of all devices
  • Removal and safe disposal of old receptacles and switches
  • Installation of new UL-listed, code-compliant devices
  • Testing for proper polarity, grounding, and GFCI function
  • Optional upgrades: USB outlets, nightlight receptacles, WiFi dimmers, etc.
  • Clean labeling and client walkthrough after completion
