Why Upgrade Your Outlets and Switches?
Outdated outlets and switches aren’t just frustrating—they’re a safety risk hiding in plain sight. If you’ve ever had a plug fall out of an outlet, seen a flicker when you flip a switch, or avoided using an outlet in your bathroom because it doesn’t feel quite right, you’re not alone. These everyday annoyances are often signs that your electrical system isn’t up to the task anymore—especially in older Cleveland homes.
Upgrading your home’s outlets and switches isn’t just about convenience—it’s about modernizing your daily routine and protecting the people and devices you rely on. Here’s how an upgrade from P.K. Wadsworth can improve your Cleveland home:
- Enhance safety by replacing worn or malfunctioning parts that could lead to shocks, overheating, or even electrical fires
- Stay code-compliant with GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas, and AFCI protection in living spaces
- Add smart features like dimmers, timers, and USB or app-controlled switches that fit today’s connected lifestyle
- Reduce dependency on extension cords by placing outlets where you actually need them—no more tripping over cords in the hallway
- Refresh your interiors with clean, uniform outlets and switches that match your updated design aesthetic
Whether you’re renovating or just tired of outlets that don’t work like they should, an upgrade is an investment in your home’s comfort, safety, and everyday functionality.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Outlets or Switches
Not sure if your outlets or switches need replacing? Here are some common signs we see in Cleveland homes:
- Outlets that feel warm to the touch
- Plugs that fall out or don’t stay in place
- Switches that stick, crackle, or spark
- Outlets that have burn marks or discoloration
- Lack of GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms
- No USB charging outlets for today’s tech-heavy households
- Light switches that don’t respond or are installed in awkward locations
If you’ve noticed any of the above, a quick inspection and upgrade could save you from bigger problems down the line.

The Benefits of Upgrading Outlets and Switches
Still unsure if it’s worth replacing those outdated outlets and switches? Think about the daily moments—charging your phone by the bed, turning off the lights with one hand full of laundry, or plugging in the coffee maker during a rushed morning. These small, everyday tasks become simpler, safer, and more reliable when your electrical system is up to date.
- Improved Safety
Outdated or damaged outlets can overheat, spark, or cause electrical shocks. Modern components reduce these risks and add essential protection like GFCIs and AFCIs.
2. More Functionality
USB outlets, smart switches, and dimmers give you more control over your home. You can eliminate clutter, improve efficiency, and customize your environment to fit your needs.
3. Better Home Value
Updated outlets and switches are a big plus when selling a home. They show buyers the home is safe, modernized, and well cared for.
4. A Cleaner, More Polished Look
Old, yellowed outlets or mismatched switches can date a room. New covers and components give your walls a clean, refreshed look.
