Extension cords are a symptom, not a solution. OSB adds outlets where you actually need them in Colrain homes and offices — including GFCI protection, USB outlets, and dedicated circuits for appliances that keep tripping.
“Called at 11pm when half the house went dark and an outlet was making a noise I'd never heard before. Someone was at the door in under an hour and had it isolated before midnight.”
“Sparking outlet in the nursery. They came out the same evening, replaced it, and checked every other outlet on that circuit for free.”
“Garage had one outlet and a light on the house circuit. Now it has a sub-panel and I can actually use my tools.”
A new outlet on an existing nearby circuit is one of the cheapest calls we run. Cost rises if the run is long, the wall is plaster, or the circuit needs to come from the panel.
Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, laundry areas, outdoors, and anywhere near a sink. If your Colrain home predates those rules, retrofitting is quick.
Yes, either by pulling a ground or by GFCI-protecting the circuit and labelling it correctly. We'll tell you which applies in your house.
It's sharing a circuit with something else. A dedicated 20 amp circuit fixes it permanently.
We do — weather-resistant receptacles in in-use covers, GFCI protected, on the exterior wall or deck where you need them.
