Waukesha Outlet & Switch Services
Outlet & Switch Repair & Installation for Greater Milwaukee
Every time you plug in a phone charger, turn on a lamp, or run a kitchen appliance, you rely on the outlets and switches throughout your home. Over time, however, heavy everyday use, outdated electrical systems, or loose internal connections can turn these simple fixtures into inconvenience points or safety risks. Faulty outlets can cause intermittent power loss, while worn switches can become warm to the touch or start sparking.
At Roman Home Services, we take the worry out of your home’s electrical infrastructure. Whether you need to replace old two-prong receptacles, install safety-focused GFCI outlets, or repair switches that crackle when toggled, our licensed and insured electricians arrive ready to deliver reliable, code-compliant solutions. Since 1929, local homeowners have counted on our family-owned business for straightforward advice and single-visit repairs.

Outlet & Switch FAQs
Why do my outlets have only two prongs instead of three?
Older homes throughout Waukesha were frequently wired without a dedicated grounding conductor. Two-prong outlets lack a safety ground, increasing the risk of electric shock or damage to modern electronics. A licensed electrician from Roman Home Services can inspect your wiring and upgrade it to grounded three-prong receptacles or safely install GFCI protection.
What is the difference between a GFCI and an AFCI outlet?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects people from electrical shocks by instantly cutting power if it detects current flowing through an unintended path (like water). An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) detects dangerous electrical arcing (sparking) behind walls to prevent house fires. Current electrical codes in specific areas of the home require both.
Can I replace a wall switch or outlet myself?
While DIY tutorials make receptacle replacement look simple, working with live residential electricity carries serious risks of shock, electrocution, or loose connections that cause hidden fires behind drywall. Hiring a licensed professional guarantees safe, code-compliant installation and complete peace of mind.
