Electric Switch & Outlet Repair


Faulty switches and outlets are more than just an inconvenience — they can be a real safety hazard. From sparks and overheating to complete power loss, these issues should never be ignored. At Air Tech of Houston, we provide expert electric switch and outlet repair services to keep your home safe, efficient, and fully powered. Our licensed electricians are here to deliver quick, reliable solutions for any size job.

Houston Switch & Outlet Repair Services


Switches and outlets get heavy use in your home every single day. Over time, normal wear and tear, improper installation, or hidden wiring problems can cause them to malfunction. Whether it’s a switch that won’t work, an outlet that feels warm to the touch, or plugs that constantly fall out, our team has the skills and tools to repair or replace the faulty components. We’ve been serving Houston homeowners for decades, and we know how to fix these problems the right way — the first time.

Common Problems with Switches and Outlets

  • Sparking Outlets: Sparks when plugging in a device can indicate loose wiring or worn contacts, both of which are fire hazards.
  • Dead Outlets: Outlets that no longer supply power may have tripped, burned out, or disconnected internally.
  • Overheating: Outlets or switches that feel hot are a warning sign of overloaded circuits or poor connections.
  • Loose Connections: Plugs that slip out or switches that feel wobbly often point to worn or damaged parts.
  • Buzzing or Flickering: Strange sounds or flickering lights tied to switches may signal unsafe wiring conditions.

When to Call for Professional Repair


Not every electrical issue is immediately dangerous, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. You should call a licensed electrician if you notice:

  • Burn marks, smoke, or a burning odor near a switch or outlet
  • Outlets or switches that frequently stop working or trip breakers
  • Two-prong outlets in an older home without proper grounding
  • Switches or outlets that make popping or crackling noises
  • A need for more outlets to reduce reliance on extension cords

Benefits of Professional Switch & Outlet Repair

  • Improved Safety: Reduce the risk of electrical shocks, arc faults, and fire hazards.
  • Better Reliability: Enjoy consistent power without worrying about dead outlets or flickering switches.
  • Code Compliance: Ensure your electrical system meets current safety codes and standards.
  • Convenience: Strategically placed and functional outlets make daily life easier and reduce clutter from power strips.
  • Increased Home Value: Updated, safe electrical components are a plus for potential homebuyers and inspectors.

Upgrade Options for Switches & Outlets


Repairing a broken outlet is often the first step, but it’s also a great time to consider upgrades. Air Tech of Houston offers installation and replacement of modern electrical features, including:

  • GFCI Outlets: Required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces to prevent shocks.
  • AFCI Outlets: Designed to reduce fire risks from arc faults in living spaces and bedrooms.
