What affects the price

The primary factors include the complexity of the task, the accessibility of your home’s wiring, and the specific materials required to meet current safety codes.

About this service
An electrical socket, or receptacle, is the wall-mounted port where you plug in your electronics. It serves as the bridge between your home's permanent wiring and your appliances. When sockets become loose, stop gripping plugs tightly, or show discoloration, they should be replaced. Upgrading to modern, tamper-resistant sockets can improve safety, especially in households with children. Costs for socket replacement typically depend on the quantity and wiring condition.
