An electrical switch controls the flow of power to a device, usually a light fixture. You flip it on or off to complete or break the circuit. An electrical outlet, on the other hand, is where you plug in appliances and devices to draw power. Think of the switch as the gatekeeper and the outlet as the access point. We can install or repair both for you.
