Extension cords are a symptom, not a solution. OSB adds outlets where you actually need them in Swampscott 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.”
“They found a loose neutral that had been slowly cooking our appliances for years. Nobody else even looked for it.”
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
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 Swampscott 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.
