Outlet and Switch Installation in Brooksville, FL
Added, Moved, and Upgraded Outlets and Switches|USB-C and Tamper-Resistant Options|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
Name the rooms and what you plug in there.
- Added where you need them: Desks, beds, workbenches, and the kitchen island.
- Moved when the room changes: A new spot where the furniture allows.
- Three-way switching: Control a light from both ends of a hall or stairway.
Count the adapters and power strips in your kitchen or home office. Each one marks a spot where the house needed an outlet and didn't have one. Then there's the light switch at the wrong end of the hallway.
We add outlets where you use power, move the ones furniture now hides, and change old devices for USB-C and tamper-resistant outlets. Switches get the same treatment: added, moved, or replaced when worn.
Call (352) 251-2795, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or send a request online. Calls after hours are returned the next business day.
Choosing outlets and switches
The Outlet Behind the Couch and the Switch at the Wrong Door
Outlets for what you plug in now
A house wired decades ago was planned around a lamp and a clock radio. Phones, laptops, tablets, and countertop appliances ask more of it, and the fix is outlets in the right places, with the right faces.
- USB-A and USB-C combination outlets, so chargers stop taking up the plug.
- Tamper-resistant outlets.
- Standard replacements for outlets that no longer grip a plug firmly.
Adding an outlet, or moving one
A new outlet can be fed from a nearby circuit when that circuit has room for the load. Where the circuit is already busy, or the outlet is for a heavy appliance, it gets its own circuit. Moving an outlet means removing the old box, or blanking it with a cover plate, and extending the wiring to the new spot. How the cable reaches it depends on the attic above, the wall it runs through, and what is already in that wall.
Switches where your hand reaches
A single-pole switch controls a light from one place. A pair of three-way switches controls it from two, such as the top and bottom of a staircase, and a four-way switch adds a third. We add switches, move them to the side of the door that opens, and replace worn ones.
"My outlet doesn't work": check the switch first
Some rooms have an outlet controlled by a wall switch, installed so a lamp can be turned on from the doorway. Sometimes it's the whole outlet, sometimes only the top or bottom half. Turn that switch off, and the outlet goes dead, which can look like a failure. Before you call about a dead outlet, flip the switches near the room's entry and try the outlet again.
If the outlet stays dead with every switch tried, it's a repair visit.
Outdoor outlets
Outdoor Outlets for Holiday Lights and Decorations
Holiday lights, inflatables, and spotlights all need somewhere to plug in outside. When one outlet runs the whole yard, or the cords come in through a door or window, it's time for more outdoor outlets.
Outlets where the decorations go
We add outdoor outlets where you'll use them, so cords don't have to stretch across the yard or come in through a door.
- Weather-resistant outlets made for outdoor use.
- In-use covers that close over the plug, so the outlet stays protected with a cord plugged in.
- GFCI protection, which code requires on outdoor outlets.
A circuit that can carry the display
If the breaker trips the moment the display comes on, that circuit is carrying more than it was built for. More plugs on the same circuit won't fix it.
- We check what else already shares the circuit.
- Where it's needed, the outdoor outlets get a circuit of their own.
- If the panel has no room for another breaker, we'll check what it can handle.
Book before you decorate
Have the outlets and circuit in place before the lights go up, so the display is ready when you are.

Estimates for installs
Getting a Price on New Outlets and Switches
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Where the cost comes from
03- How many outlets and switches, and whether any need a new circuit.
- Attic access above the wall, and what the wall is made of.
- Cabinets, tile, or a finished ceiling in the cable's path.
Our warranty
04If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.
