"Three outlets in my home office stopped working. ASL Electric came out same morning, found the cause — a loose GFCI upstream — and had everything working in 45 minutes."

Dead outlets disrupt your day. We prioritize outlet repairs and carry the most common outlet types on the truck — so most jobs are fixed in the same visit without a return trip for parts.
Ungrounded outlets are a safety hazard and code violation. Every outlet we install is properly grounded — not just a three-prong outlet covering two-prong wiring. If your home needs grounding runs, we do it correctly.
20-amp outlets need 12-gauge wire on a 20-amp breaker. 240V dryer circuits need the right NEMA outlet type, correct wire gauge, and correct breaker. We never substitute — wrong sizing is a fire risk.
Most dead outlet calls turn out to be a tripped GFCI outlet somewhere upstream that's not obvious. We trace every outlet on the circuit until we find the actual cause — not just replace the visible device and hope for the best.
New outlet runs and circuit additions require permits in most OC cities. We pull them, schedule inspections, and make sure your new outlets are done right — so they pass inspection and your insurance remains valid.
No upsells, no surprise add-ons. Every outlet installation and repair from ASL Electric includes everything below as part of the flat-rate price quoted upfront.
We come out, diagnose or assess the job, and give you a firm flat-rate price before any work begins.
New circuit runs and significant wiring changes require permits. We pull them and coordinate city inspections.

Real questions OC homeowners ask about outlet installation and repair.
Most dead outlets in OC homes are caused by a tripped GFCI outlet somewhere else on the same circuit — often in the bathroom, garage, or under the kitchen sink. Other causes include loose wire connections, a failed outlet device, or a tripped breaker. We trace the circuit to find the actual cause before replacing anything.
Yes. We run new wiring from your existing circuit or from the panel to wherever you need the new outlet. We try to keep the wiring run inside walls with minimal patching. The final outlet looks and functions the same as any other outlet in your home.
GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets trip instantly when they detect current leaking to ground — protecting you from shock. California code requires them in bathrooms, kitchens within 6 feet of a sink, garages, outdoor areas, laundry rooms, and anywhere near water. Homes without them in these locations are out of code.
Most modern electric dryers need a NEMA 14-30 outlet (30-amp, 240V, 4-wire). Older dryers used NEMA 10-30 (3-wire). We verify your dryer's requirements and install the correct outlet type on a properly sized 30-amp circuit. We also convert 3-wire to 4-wire when needed for modern dryers.
A brief blue spark when plugging in a device with a motor (like a vacuum) is normal — it's the device drawing an initial surge of power. Repeated sparking, yellow/orange sparks, burning smell, or sparking with no load are signs of a loose connection or failing outlet that should be repaired immediately.
A dedicated circuit serves only one outlet or appliance — no other devices share it. Required for refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, HVAC equipment, and any appliance drawing more than 1,500 watts continuously. If you're constantly tripping a breaker when running a specific appliance, that circuit likely needs to be dedicated.
Yes — NEMA 14-50 outlets for Level 2 EV charging are one of our most common outlet installs. We run a new 50-amp circuit from your panel to the garage location, install a weatherproof NEMA 14-50 outlet, and you're ready to plug in any Level 2 charger. Most EV outlet installs take 2–3 hours.
Replacing an existing outlet with the same type generally doesn't require a permit. Adding new outlets with new wiring runs or new circuits does require permits in most OC cities. We tell you upfront and pull any required permits as part of the job — you don't have to deal with the city.
