Outlets & Switches

Fast, Safe Outlet & Switch Service in Denver

Done has been helping Denver metro homeowners with outlet and switch repairs, replacements, and upgrades since 1999. Our electricians arrive on time, diagnose the issue quickly, and explain what they found before touching anything — no guesswork, no upselling.

If you’re also thinking about smart home upgrades, we can combine outlet work with a smart switch or dimmer installation in the same visit. Call 833-539-9153 to get on the schedule.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need an Electrician for Your Outlets or Switches

Some outlet and switch problems are obvious. Others are easy to ignore until they become a real hazard. Here's what to watch for.

  • Outlets That Don't Work

    If an outlet is completely dead and resetting the GFCI or breaker doesn't bring it back, there's likely a loose connection, a tripped GFCI elsewhere on the circuit, or a wiring fault that needs hands-on diagnosis.

  • Sparking When You Plug Something In

    A small, brief spark when plugging in a device can be normal. A large spark, a lingering spark, or one accompanied by a popping sound is not — it indicates a loose connection or a failing outlet that should be replaced promptly.

  • Warm or Discolored Outlet Covers

    Switch plates and outlet covers should never feel warm to the touch or show scorch marks. This points to excess heat from a loose connection or overloaded circuit — a fire hazard that needs immediate attention.

  • Plugs That Fall Out of Outlets

    Worn outlet contacts no longer grip plugs firmly. Beyond the annoyance, loose plugs arc at the connection point — generating heat that can damage the outlet and wiring behind the wall.

A very experienced, professional and skilled team of Caedon, Tyler, James and Eli re-wired the main floor of our 100+ year old home when a small electrical fire was found during a diagnostic visit meant to trouble shoot a malfunctioning bedroom ceiling light.

The team was extremely thorough and corrected several wiring errors that had been done over the past 100 years - some due to code changes and some due to shoddy, cutting-corners-work done on a 10 year old remodel. The project took two days, and included breaker panel additions, discovering buried outlets, and eliminating live sections of wire no longer being used. The team cleaned up the work space every day and patched wall areas that were cut in an attempt to locate buried outlets. With every discovery, the situation was explained in depth and at the level where we could understand the issue.

We have used Done for large plumbing, and now, large electrical work and have been 1000% satisfied with every interaction.

Done is always super quick to send someone out to help me with the problem at hand. Cason was here within an hour or two of the call. She was very professional and took the time to answer all of my questions. She even pointed out several things for me to be aware of/make sure I check regularly to avoid disaster. We have used Done several times so far and will continue to do so, I would highly recommend both Done and Cason. We’ve also really loved working with Dylan, DJ and Aaron (heating).

New Review 12/12/25: Done offers a free electrical inspection for their members and sent Javier out to my house. He was amazing - he encouraged me to follow him around my home during his entire visit so he could teach me about my home, give advice, answer questions, and suggest best practices. It was determined that my 33 year old electrical panel was on its way out and needed replacement. While it wasn't cheap, I felt confident after spending 2 hours with Javier that he knew what he was talking about and that he would take great care in replacing everything correctly and with great attention to detail. Javier is warm, respectful, knowledgable, and makes you feel like family - I will request him for anything electrical in my home from now on and would recommend him to anyone.

We are so pleased and grateful to have come across Done. The sheathing covering the wiring going into our electrical box had pulled away exposing live wires. We called Done and electricians Jeff and James came out to give us an estimate. This repair is not inexpensive, and Jeff went over all the details of the project, the upgrade to our panel the grounding that would bring our electrical system up to code and the approvals that would be required from the county. We scheduled the work and Jeff and James came back and completed everything in one day. We couldn't be happier. In addition to the professionalism of the two guys they were also very personable and fun. Perhaps personable and fun are not necessarily requirements to getting the work done, those attributes go a long way in making you feel they genuinely care. I would highly recommend Done and we will continue to use them for our electrical and plumbing needs in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?

GFCI outlets trip when they detect a small current imbalance — which could be moisture near the outlet, a failing appliance on the circuit, or the outlet itself wearing out. If it trips repeatedly without an obvious cause, have a licensed electrician test the circuit. Persistent tripping can sometimes signal a more serious wiring problem.

Can I replace an outlet or switch myself?

Homeowners can legally replace a like-for-like outlet or switch in Colorado, but mistakes are easy to make and the consequences — shock or fire — are serious. If the existing wiring is aluminum, if there’s no ground wire, or if you’re adding GFCI or AFCI protection, the work should be done by a licensed electrician to ensure it’s done correctly and safely.

How do I know if my home has enough outlets?

The NEC requires outlets within six feet of any point along a wall so that no spot is more than twelve feet from an outlet. If you’re regularly using power strips and extension cords, you probably don’t have enough outlets. Done can add them where you need them — safely wired with proper circuit capacity.

What is the difference between a GFCI and an AFCI outlet?

A GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) protects against shock by detecting current leaking to ground — required in wet locations like kitchens and bathrooms. An AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) protects against electrical fires by detecting dangerous arcing in the wiring — required in bedrooms and many other living areas under current code. Done installs both types where your home needs them.
