New outlets, smart switches, USB upgrades, or a full room refresh. Saturn Electric handles outlet and switch installation for any home, any room, any situation. Licensed electricians, straightforward pricing.
Outlet & Switch Installation
From a single dead outlet that's been taped over for years to a full upgrade of every switch in the house, outlet and switch installation is among the most common electrical service calls we handle. It's also among the most impactful. The right outlets in the right places, wired correctly and protected appropriately, make a home more functional, more convenient, and safer.
Saturn Electric handles the full range of outlet and switch installation for homeowners throughout the Rochester Hills area: new outlet installation, light switch replacement, GFCI protection, smart switch upgrades, USB outlet installation, and adding outlets to rooms that simply don't have enough. We handle it all in a single visit in most cases, with straightforward pricing before any work begins.
Whether you're replacing one outdated outlet or modernizing every switch in the house, our licensed electricians assess your specific situation and make sure the work is done to current code. We also handle GFCI outlet installation for bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and exterior locations as part of the same visit.
Outlet Services
Add the outlets your home is missing, replace the ones that have seen better days, and upgrade everywhere else to modern protection and smart convenience.
Adding outlets to rooms that don't have enough: home offices, garages, kitchens, outdoor areas, anywhere a power strip has become a permanent fixture. We check circuit capacity and run new wiring where needed to place outlets correctly and to code.
Replacing worn, discolored, loose, or non-functioning outlets, including upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong outlets where wiring permits. We replace like-for-like or upgrade to a better outlet type as appropriate.
GFCI outlets are required by code in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, and exterior locations, anywhere moisture is a factor. We install them as a single-visit job alongside other outlet work, with the same straightforward pricing.
USB outlets replace standard outlets with units that include built-in USB-A or USB-C charging ports, no adapter required. Ideal for bedrooms, home offices, kitchens, and anywhere device charging is a daily routine. We wire them in cleanly.
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protection detects dangerous arcing in your wiring and cuts power before the arc can ignite nearby materials. Required in bedrooms and living areas for new construction, and retrofit-friendly via AFCI outlets or breakers.
Tamper-resistant outlets have built-in shutters that block foreign objects from being inserted. Required in new construction and an important safety upgrade for homes with young children. We install them as standalone upgrades or part of larger outlet work.
Switch Services
Whether you're swapping one outdated switch, adding a dimmer for ambiance, or rolling out smart controls across the whole house, we install every switch type that makes daily life easier.
Replacing worn, flickering, or non-functioning switches throughout the home in single-pole, three-way, and four-way configurations. We replace like-for-like or upgrade you to a better switch type as part of the same visit.
Dimmer switches add ambiance and energy efficiency to any room. We install them correctly, including verifying LED compatibility and, where ceiling fans are involved, using fan-rated dimmers rather than standard ones.
Smart switches enable app control, voice assistant integration, scheduling, and remote access for your lighting. We install them from all major brands and handle the wiring correctly, including neutral-wire requirements many DIY installs miss.
Three-way and four-way switches control a single light from multiple locations, common in hallways, stairways, and large rooms. Wiring multi-location switches correctly takes experience, and we install them without the trial-and-error.
Timer switches and occupancy or motion sensor switches automate lighting for convenience and energy savings, popular in garages, exterior areas, bathrooms, and utility spaces. We wire them correctly for reliable, code-compliant operation.
Moving a switch to a more convenient location, adding a switch where there isn't one, or wiring a new switch leg from an existing fixture. We handle switch relocation and addition as part of your standard installation service.
Some outlet and switch situations are urgent. Others are simply overdue upgrades that make daily life better. Both are worth a call to Saturn Electric.

FAQs
Yes. Adding outlets to underserved rooms is one of our most common service calls. We assess existing circuit capacity, determine whether a new circuit is needed, run the wiring, and install properly placed outlets to code. If you're relying on extension cords as permanent fixtures, it's worth getting a proper electrical outlet install.
An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlet detects dangerous electrical arcing in wiring. Current code requires AFCI protection in bedrooms and living areas for new construction and major renovations, and older homes can often be retrofitted.
A standard dimmer adjusts brightness manually at the wall. A smart switch adds connectivity for app control, voice assistant integration, schedules, and automation. We verify compatibility and wiring requirements before installation.
USB outlets wire the same way standard outlets do, but incorrect connections can create code violations and fire risks. Licensed installation ensures safe wiring, proper box fill, and reliable operation.
Like-for-like replacement usually does not require a permit. New outlet installation with new wiring runs or new circuits typically does. We advise on local permit requirements as part of your quote.
Tamper-resistant outlets include internal shutters that help prevent children from inserting objects into one slot. They are required in new construction and are a practical safety upgrade in existing homes.
Yes. GFCI outlet installation is one of our most common services. We install them in every code-required location, including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, and exterior receptacles.
