Add Outlets Where You Actually Need Them

Receptacle installations in Canton, Georgia that improve convenience, safety, and code compliance throughout your home.

You are working in your garage in Canton and realize the nearest outlet is fifteen feet away, forcing you to string extension cords across the floor. Or you are remodeling your kitchen and discover that your countertop does not have enough outlets to handle everyday appliances. Adding or replacing receptacles solves these frustrations and brings your home up to current electrical standards. TRU Lighting & Electrical Services installs outlets in locations that make daily tasks easier and safer, from kitchens and home offices to garages and remodeled spaces.

This service includes adding new outlets where none exist, replacing outdated or damaged receptacles, and installing GFCI outlets in areas where water and electricity are present. GFCI outlets are required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations because they shut off power immediately when they detect a ground fault. Older homes in Canton often lack adequate outlet coverage, and this upgrade improves both usability and safety without requiring a full rewiring project.

If you need more outlets or want to replace ones that no longer hold plugs securely, contact TRU Lighting & Electrical Services in Canton to schedule an installation.

How New Outlets Are Added To Your Home

Your electrician arrives in Canton, identifies the location where you need the outlet, and determines the best route to run wiring from an existing circuit or junction box. A hole is cut in the drywall, the electrical box is secured, and the wiring is connected following code requirements. The outlet is installed, tested, and the wall opening is patched and finished to blend with the surrounding surface.

Once the work is complete, you will notice that you no longer need extension cords running across floors or countertops. Appliances, tools, and devices can be plugged in directly where you use them. GFCI outlets provide an extra layer of protection in moisture-prone areas, shutting off power instantly if a fault is detected.

The installation includes matching the outlet style and color to your existing fixtures, ensuring the wiring is secured properly inside the wall, and verifying that the circuit can handle the additional load. If your circuit is already at capacity, a new circuit may be required. This service does not include running new circuits from the panel unless arranged in advance, and it does not cover structural repairs unrelated to the electrical work.

Here Is What Homeowners Usually Ask

People want to know where outlets can be added, whether their walls will be patched, and how long the work takes from start to finish.

What is a GFCI outlet and when is it required?
A GFCI outlet monitors electrical flow and shuts off power if it detects a ground fault, which can happen when water and electricity come into contact. They are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas.
How do you match the new outlet to my existing ones?
Your electrician will match the outlet style, color, and finish to your current receptacles so the new installation blends in. If you are updating multiple outlets, you can choose a consistent style throughout.
What if my circuit cannot handle another outlet?
Your electrician will check the circuit load before installation. If the circuit is at capacity, a new dedicated circuit may be installed to safely support the additional outlet.
Why do older homes in Canton need more outlets?
Older homes were built with fewer outlets because household electrical demand was lower. Modern appliances, chargers, and devices require more accessible power, and adding outlets reduces reliance on extension cords and power strips.
When should I schedule this service?
You should schedule this service when you are remodeling a room, adding new appliances, or finding yourself dependent on extension cords. It is also a good time to replace outlets that no longer grip plugs tightly.
