Outlet & Switch Replacement



Detailed Description
Old or Faulty Outlets in Your Toronto & GTA Home Are a Safety Issue, Not Just an Inconvenience
Outlets that don’t grip plugs securely. Switches that crackle, spark, or don’t work consistently. Two-prong outlets in a Toronto & GTA home that should have been upgraded decades ago. Outlet and switch hardware has a functional lifespan — and when that lifespan has been exceeded, the signs are clear to anyone paying attention. In Toronto & GTA’s older housing stock, original electrical outlets and switches from the 70s and 80s are still common, and they’re operating beyond reasonable service life.
At CNG Contracting, outlet and switch replacement in Toronto & GTA is done safely, to code, and with proper assessment of the existing wiring condition at each device. Outlets and switches are electrical components — they get replaced correctly, with the appropriate device for the location and application, or not at all.
More Than a Simple Swap in Toronto & GTA Homes
- Wiring Assessment at Each Device: The condition of the existing wiring connections and box configuration in your Toronto & GTA home is checked before new devices are installed. Old wire-nut connections that have deteriorated get addressed.
- Correct Device for the Location: GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. AFCI protection where code requires. Tamper-resistant outlets in Toronto & GTA homes with young children. The right device for the application.
- USB and Smart Outlets: Upgrading to USB-integrated or smart outlets in Toronto & GTA homes is a common addition to standard replacement visits — we accommodate requests as part of the same appointment.
- Dimmer Compatibility: Dimmer switch installation requires LED-compatible dimmer selection for Toronto & GTA homes that have upgraded to LED lighting. Incompatible dimmers cause buzzing and flickering.
Signs Your Toronto & GTA Home Outlets and Switches Need Attention
- Outlets that don’t grip plugs securely — plugs fall out or feel loose
- Switches that require multiple attempts, crackle, or have become intermittent
- Discolouration, scorch marks, or odour from an outlet or switch cover
- Two-prong outlets in a Toronto & GTA home that’s been updated with three-prong appliances
- Missing GFCI protection in kitchen, bathroom, or outdoor locations
Outlet and switch problems in your Toronto & GTA home are safety issues that deserve proper attention. Book your visit today.

Frequently Asked — Outlet Replacement in Toronto & GTA
Can you upgrade two-prong outlets to three-prong in an older Toronto & GTA home?
Yes — with the appropriate method for the specific wiring situation. If grounding wire is present, direct three-prong replacement is straightforward. If not, GFCI-type three-prong outlets provide protection without requiring a grounding wire. We advise on the correct approach for your Toronto & GTA home’s wiring.
How do I know if I need GFCI outlets in my Toronto & GTA home?
Code requires GFCI protection in kitchens within 1.5m of a sink, all bathroom outlets, garage outlets, outdoor outlets, and unfinished basement outlets. If your Toronto & GTA home doesn’t have GFCI in these locations, we include that in the assessment and replacement recommendation.

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Electrical safety isn't just about swapping the faceplate. Many older Toronto homes have aluminum wiring or lack proper grounding, which requires specialized "CO/ALR" rated devices or pig-tailing to prevent overheating. Our Outlet & Switch Replacement assessment identifies these hidden fire risks to ensure the new devices are fully compatible with your home's specific wiring type.
