Can I replace an electrical outlet myself safely and correctly?
You can replace a basic outlet yourself, but the safest, code-correct option is to use a licensed electrician. Parrish installs standard, USB, and GFCI outlets and can bring ungrounded or outdated receptacles up to current code. Use GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors, and test using the built-in test/reset buttons. Stop and call if you notice buzzing, burn marks, flickering, loose switches, or outlets that won’t hold plugs. We serve Northern Virginia, including McLean and Reston.
