Overview
What outlet installation covers and when you need a new outlet
Electrical outlet installation means adding an outlet where there is none, or moving one to where you actually need it. We install new, relocated and 240V outlets, and starting prices are on this page. You can call (213) 322-0128 to talk it through, and see all of the electrical services we offer for the rest of our work.
The usual sign is an extension cord or power strip that has become permanent. Others are a wall-mounted TV with no outlet behind it, a home office or workbench with too few plugs, and a network or media cabinet with no outlet of its own. If an outlet you already have is the problem, read about outlet repair instead.

Pricing
What changes the price of an outlet installation
How much does it cost to install an outlet? Outlet installation starts from $69. That is where pricing begins, not a total.
If the panel has no room for a new circuit, that is a bigger job. See electrical panel upgrade. We give the price for your job on the call.
Every price in this section: starting price; your cost may differ.
| Service | Starting price | What changes the final price | Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlet installation | From $69 | Condition of the wiring, distance to the panel, a new circuit or an add-on, wall type and access, and the outlet type (grounded, GFCI or 240V) | Quoted on the call |
Decision guide
Which fix fits: new outlet, extended circuit or dedicated line
| Your situation | Typical job | What the electrician checks | When it becomes another service |
|---|---|---|---|
| One more outlet near existing ones | Add an outlet on the existing circuit | Whether the circuit can carry the extra use | If the circuit is already full, a new circuit is needed |
| A new heavy appliance | A dedicated line to that appliance | The appliance rating and the route from the panel | A car charger goes to EV charger installation |
| Several outlets in one new place | An extended branch with several outlets | Capacity for the tools or equipment you will run | No room in the panel means panel work |
| An outlet you already have misbehaves | Not an installation job | What is wrong with that outlet | Outlet repair |

Field notes
Field notes: wall-mount TV, craft bench and network cabinet outlets
The owner of a living room with a wall-mounted TV used a dangling extension lead because no outlet served that spot. We checked the bracket and the cabinet size before marking the point, then installed a receptacle on an existing circuit with the power route kept apart from the media cables. The outlet passed its polarity and protection checks and the TV equipment ran normally. The relevant reference is NFPA 70 (NEC), 210 and 406.
An outlet position should be checked against the actual mounting bracket before the box is installed.
Our electrician
Our electrician’s advice: provide the TV bracket and cabinet dimensions before marking the outlet point.
A craft bench that needed outlets for small tools
Several small tools, some left on for preparation, were run through stacked adapters. We asked the user to show a typical work sequence, checked what the circuit could carry and fitted fixed outlets with protection. We tested the real tool combination, not an empty outlet.
A network cabinet in a utility cupboard
The cabinet needed a permanent supply that could be reached for maintenance without blocking its ventilation. We placed the outlet around both, kept power apart from the data wiring and checked the equipment it would carry.

Common questions
Outlet installation questions homeowners ask us
How much does it cost before you come?
Outlet installation starts from $69. It is a starting price, and your cost may differ. We explain the price for your job on the call, before anyone comes out.
Is there a fee to come out?
We give the price on the phone before you book. Free estimates apply only to panel upgrades, panel installation, breaker replacement and whole-house rewiring.
Can you add an outlet outside or in the garage?
Yes. Outdoor and garage outlets are built for weather and moisture. Tell us where you want it and where the nearest power is.
Can you install a 240V outlet?
Yes, for a dryer, range, washer or mini-split. Tell us the appliance and, if you know it, the plug type. A car charger is a separate job. See EV charger installation.
Can you put an outlet behind a wall-mounted TV?
Yes. Send us the bracket and the cabinet dimensions first, so the outlet sits where it can be reached.
