Outlet & Switch Installation in Riverside, CA
Out of outlets? Need GFCI protection, USB outlets, or smart switches? All Current Electric adds, replaces, and upgrades outlets and switches across the Inland Empire — including grounding upgrades for older homes and weatherproof exterior outlets.
Outlet and Switch Installation, Upgrades, and Safety Devices
Outlets and switches are the parts of your electrical system you touch every day, and small problems with them add up fast. Running power strips and extension cords because you're short on outlets, two-prong receptacles that won't accept a grounded plug, a switch that does nothing, or a scorched outlet that needs to go — All Current Electric handles it all. We add new outlets where you need them, replace worn and unsafe devices, and upgrade to the safety and convenience features modern homes expect.
Safety devices matter here. California Electrical Code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor areas, and AFCI protection on many living-area circuits — and older Inland Empire homes often lack both. We install and test GFCI and AFCI protection, replace ungrounded two-prong outlets with properly grounded receptacles, and add tamper-resistant outlets where kids are around. For convenience, we install USB and USB-C outlets, smart switches and dimmers, and dedicated outlets for window A/C units and appliances.
Outside, we add weatherproof, in-use-covered exterior outlets for patios, holiday lighting, and yard equipment, all on GFCI-protected circuits. Every device is installed to code and tested before we leave. Whether it's one outlet or a houseful, call (951) 539-6022.
Small Jobs, Done Right and Done Safe
More outlets where you need them, modern conveniences, and the GFCI/AFCI protection code requires.
End Extension-Cord Reliance
We add outlets where you actually need them, so you can retire the power strips and extension cords that clutter rooms and create hazards.
Code-Required Safety
GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoors, plus AFCI where required — the protection many older IE homes are missing.
Modern Convenience
USB and USB-C outlets, smart switches and dimmers, and tamper-resistant receptacles bring older homes up to current expectations.
Fix Unsafe Devices
We replace loose, scorched, or ungrounded two-prong outlets with properly grounded, safe receptacles that hold a plug the way they should.
Grounding Upgrades for Older Homes
Older Riverside, Hacienda Heights, and Diamond Bar homes are full of ungrounded two-prong outlets that can't safely power today's electronics. We assess the circuit and either run a proper ground, install GFCI protection where allowed as a code-compliant alternative, or replace the wiring as needed — so your outlets are grounded, safe, and ready for modern devices. We also add tamper-resistant receptacles where small children are in the home.
Smart Switches, USB Outlets, and Exterior Power
Upgrading the everyday touchpoints of your home makes a real difference. We install smart switches and dimmers for app and voice control, USB and USB-C outlets so chargers don't tie up a receptacle, and weatherproof, in-use-covered exterior outlets for patios, holiday lighting, and yard equipment. Each is wired to code, on the right circuit, with GFCI protection outdoors and in wet areas.

Outlet & Switch Installation FAQ
It depends on the location, how far it is from an existing circuit, and wall access. A receptacle added near an existing one is quick; a run to a new area takes more work. We'll give you a clear, up-front price before we start. Call (951) 539-6022 for a free estimate.
A GFCI trips when it senses current leaking to ground — sometimes a faulty appliance, sometimes moisture, sometimes a wiring fault or a worn GFCI. We test the circuit to find out which, then fix the cause and replace the device if it's failing, so you keep the protection without the nuisance trips.
Yes. We assess the circuit and either run a proper ground, install GFCI protection where code allows it as an alternative, or update the wiring — so your outlets are safely grounded and ready for modern electronics. It's a common and worthwhile upgrade in older Inland Empire homes.
Many do, though some are designed to work without one. We check what your boxes have and recommend switches that fit your wiring, installing them so they work reliably with your app or voice assistant. If a neutral is needed and missing, we'll let you know the options.
Absolutely. We install weatherproof exterior outlets with in-use covers on GFCI-protected circuits, placed where you need power for patios, landscape equipment, and seasonal lighting. Call (951) 539-6022 to add safe, convenient outdoor power.
