What affects the price

About this service
An outlet extender is a small device that pushes a wall receptacle forward, often used when you add a new backsplash or install a deeper electrical box. It helps ensure the outlet sits flush with the surface of your wall for a clean, safe finish. If your current outlets are recessed too deeply behind a new wall covering, an extender is the necessary fix to keep your plugs secure and properly connected.

What are the units for electrical current?
The primary unit for measuring electrical current is the Ampere, often shortened to Amp. It measures the rate at which electric charge flows through a circuit.

What is an electrical breaker and what does it do?
An electrical breaker, or circuit breaker, is a safety device designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. It automatically shuts off the power to a circuit if it detects too much current flowing through it. This prevents overheating and potential fires.
