We handle both residential and commercial electrical work across the Pittsburgh area, and every job is completed with close attention to safety, function, and long-term performance.

Common signs you may need outlet or switch repair
Many electrical device problems start small and get worse over time. If you notice any of the issues below, it is best to have them checked by a licensed electrician instead of waiting for a failure or safety problem.
- Outlets that do not hold plugs tightly
- Switches that feel loose, stick, or stop responding
- Flickering lights when a switch is used

Our installation and repair process
We start by learning what is happening in the space and what you want the outlet or switch to do. For repairs, we troubleshoot the device, wiring, load, and circuit condition to find the true cause of the problem. For new installations, we look at the best location, power needs, and circuit capacity so the new device works safely and conveniently. Once we identify the right solution, we complete the work neatly and test everything before we finish.
Because we are a family-owned and operated company, we take pride in doing the work the right way the first time. We do not cut corners with loose terminations, overloaded circuits, or improper device selection. We follow NEC standards and install components that match the demands of the room, whether that means a standard switch in a bedroom, a GFCI in a bathroom, or a dedicated receptacle for office or kitchen equipment.
Why proper outlet and switch installation matters
A professional installation does more than restore power. It helps protect your home or business from nuisance tripping, equipment damage, shock risk, and hidden wiring issues inside the wall box. Proper spacing and placement can also make a room more functional. More outlets in the right places can reduce extension cord use, improve furniture layout options, and make everyday tasks easier. Updated switches can improve convenience, light control, and even help with energy savings when dimmers or improved controls are added.
Residential and commercial service
We work in homes, offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties throughout Allegheny, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties. In homes, we often help with remodels, room updates, basement finishing, kitchen and bath improvements, and replacement of worn-out devices in older electrical systems. For commercial clients, we install and repair outlets and switches that support daily operations, employee safety, customer comfort, and code compliance.
Built for remodels, upgrades, and new construction
Outlet and switch work is often part of a larger electrical improvement. We regularly coordinate this service with remodels, panel upgrades, lighting projects, new construction, and preventive maintenance. If you are updating a room or planning a new layout, we can place outlets and switch controls where they make the most sense for how the space will actually be used. Our goal is to give you dependable power access and dependable control in every room.

Outlet & Switch Installation and Repair FAQs
Common questions we hear from homeowners and business owners in the Pittsburgh area about outlet and switch problems, replacements, and new installations.
- When should I call an electrician for an outlet or switch problem?
If an outlet or switch feels warm, sparks, buzzes, trips a breaker, stops working, or has visible damage, it is time to call a licensed electrician. These are common signs of loose wiring, overloads, worn devices, or other electrical issues that should be fixed safely. At BK Electrical Solutions, we find the cause of the problem and make the repair the right way so your system is safe and dependable.
- Can you replace old two-prong outlets with grounded or GFCI outlets?
Yes. We can inspect your wiring and recommend the best code-compliant option for your home or business. In some cases, that means installing a properly grounded outlet. In other cases, a GFCI outlet may be the right solution depending on the circuit and location. We make sure the work meets NEC requirements and fits the needs of the space.
- Do I need GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, or outdoors?
In many cases, yes. GFCI protection is required in areas where moisture is present or where there is a higher risk of shock. That often includes kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, laundry areas, and outdoor receptacles. We can check your current setup, explain what is required, and install the right protection to help keep your property safe and up to code.
- Can you install new outlets or switches where I do not have them now?
Absolutely. We install new outlets, light switches, dimmer switches, USB outlets, dedicated circuits, and more for remodels, room updates, offices, and everyday convenience. Whether you need better access to power, improved lighting control, or a cleaner setup for your space, we can design and install a solution that works for you.
- Is it safe to fix or replace an outlet or switch myself?
Simple electrical work can look easy, but mistakes can lead to shock hazards, damaged wiring, nuisance tripping, or fire risks. A wrong connection or an overloaded box can cause problems behind the wall that are not always obvious right away. When you hire BK Electrical Solutions, you get experienced service, safe installation practices, and work completed to code for peace of mind.

Very professional and completed work in a timely manner.
I highly recommend BK Electrical Solutions! They replaced all receptacles that weren’t up to code and installed some new breakers in the electrical panel. Very professional and explained the process clearly. I feel very confident that we are now up to code and will pass the inspection.
Brandon was recommended by our agent when we bought our house. We had a fuse box that needed removed and updated. An outlet added for a sump pump and outlets upgraded in our kitchen as well as outlets added for stove and refrigerator that was being relocated. Brandon also moved a 3 gang switch outlet to another wall. His price was very reasonable. His work was quick, clean and exactly as quoted. He also communicated effectively. Brandon is also trustworthy as he was left alone at the home while he completed work. I would highly recommend BK Electrical Solutions and would use him for future projects.
