There are a number of factors that affect the cost of an electrical outlet installation. They include:

• Childproofing. Childproofing is a feature you can add to your electrical outlets to keep the children in your home safe. It will add to your installation expense, because technicians will install tamper-resistant receptacles, which are a bit more expensive than normal receptacles. That said, your home will be more safe if you opt to install this feature.
• Location. The location of the outlet you wish to have installed can also be a cost determinate. If the desired outlet location is in a difficult-to-access location, that can add-on to installation cost. In addition, installing floor outlets rather than wall outlets can add to a homeowner’s installation expense, as it can be more time consuming to install floor or ceiling outlets.
• Type of Outlet. There are a few different variables that can describe the type of electrical outlet you are installing. Those variables can include; whether the outlet is 2-prong or 3-prong, whether it is a specialty outlet, and/or and the amount of amperage and voltage the outlet provides.
• Wiring. If there is not existing wiring that can be used for your new outlets, new wiring will have to be installed and will likely add to the installation cost.

Light switch installation can be an easy task for a professional electrician. However, it is often still best to have a professionally licensed electrician at Metro Air Heating & Cooling install your light switches to ensure they are up to code and safe for your home. Here are some cost factors involved in determining what the price will be for your light switches:

• Labor. Light switch installation labor costs can vary largely depending on wiring. If usable, existing wiring exists, labor costs are likely to be lower than if there isn’t.
• Type of Light Switch. The type of light switch(s) installed will likely be the key price determinant for any light switch installation. The more fixtures a switch controls or the more switches there are for a single fixture, the more expensive those switches will be to install.
• Wiring. Wiring costs can vary widely on an electrical installation process. If complicated wiring is too difficult to access, switch locations are required, and wiring installation cost will be high. If existing wiring to the switch locations exists, then the wiring cost is likely to be lower.
