We keep the process simple. Here's what to expect when you contact King Electric and Solar for outlet or light switch installation.
Reach us by phone at (916) 597-0971 or send a message online. Tell us what you need and where you're located, and we'll set up a time that works for you.
One of our electricians visits your Auburn or surrounding-area property, looks at the existing wiring, and confirms exactly what the installation requires before any work begins.
We explain what we'll do, flag any wiring concerns we spot along the way, and make sure you understand the plan. No surprises once the work is underway.
Our electricians complete the outlet or switch installation cleanly and to code. We test every connection before we consider the job finished.
We walk you through the completed work, answer any questions you have, and make sure everything functions exactly as it should before we leave.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
In California, outlet installation that involves wiring into your home's electrical system requires a licensed electrician. Improper wiring is a leading cause of residential fires, and unpermitted work can create problems when you sell your home.
Q2
A straightforward outlet swap or switch replacement usually takes under an hour. Installing a new outlet that requires running wire to a circuit can take two to three hours depending on the home's layout and access.
Q3
GFCI outlets cut power instantly if they detect a ground fault, protecting against shock. California code requires them in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor areas, and anywhere near water. We can assess your home and bring it up to current standards.
Q4
Not always. Dimmers require compatible bulbs, particularly LED fixtures, and some wiring configurations need updating before a dimmer will work safely. We check compatibility before installation so you get the result you're expecting.
Q5
A dead outlet can mean a tripped GFCI, a tripped breaker, or a wiring fault. We troubleshoot first to find the actual cause. Replacing the outlet without addressing an underlying wiring problem won't solve anything long term.
Q6
Yes. King Electric and Solar regularly works in Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Lincoln, Grass Valley, Nevada City, and El Dorado Hills, in addition to Auburn. Call us and we'll confirm coverage for your address.
Q7
Yes. We run new wiring from your existing panel or a nearby circuit to place an outlet exactly where you need it. We assess your panel capacity first to make sure there's room without overloading the system.
Q8
A single-pole switch controls a light from one location. A three-way switch lets you control the same fixture from two different spots, like at both ends of a hallway. We install both and can upgrade existing setups when needed.
