Expert Outlet and Switch Repair in Berkeley, CA

Outlet and switch repair is one of the most common electrical calls we get from Berkeley homeowners. Many homes in Berkeley were built before the 1970s and still carry aging wiring, ungrounded receptacles, and switches that have worn out over decades of use. A dead outlet, a switch that sparks, or a receptacle that runs warm are not minor annoyances. They can point to loose connections or wiring problems that put your home at risk. At 200 Amp Electric, we look past the surface symptom to find the actual cause. That means checking the wiring behind the outlet, testing connections at the box, and confirming the circuit is carrying the load safely. We work on residential electrical systems of all kinds, including the older housing stock common throughout Berkeley and the East Bay. Whether you have one outlet that stopped working or several switches that need attention, we handle the repair correctly the first time. Call us to schedule service.

Two-prong outlets are ungrounded and common in older Berkeley homes built before modern electrical codes. We can assess your outlets and explain the correct repair path for your specific wiring setup.
