Outlet & Switch Replacement

Outlets and switches are some of the most-used components in your electrical system—but they’re often overlooked until something goes wrong. At CM Electric, we replace and upgrade all types of outlets and switches to keep your home safe, functional, and up to code.

Whether you're dealing with a worn-out receptacle, need GFCI protection in your kitchen or bathroom, or want to upgrade to smart switches or USB outlets, we can help. We ensure every installation is wired cleanly, tested properly, and blends well with your home’s layout.

Common upgrades include:
