Outlet, Switch & GFCI Installation in Florence & the Pee Dee
Small jobs done right matter. Palmetto Electric adds and replaces outlets, switches and GFCIs so they're grounded, properly torqued, and safe — not back-stabbed and rattling loose in a year. We install GFCI protection where code requires it (kitchens, baths, garages, outdoors, laundry), USB and USB-C receptacles, smart switches and dimmers.
Whether you need one outlet behind the new TV or GFCIs throughout an older home, we do it cleanly and to code.
Common problems we fix
- Too few outlets and a tangle of extension cords
- Ungrounded two-prong outlets you want updated
- Missing GFCI protection near water
- Loose, scorched or no-longer-gripping receptacles
- Switches that buzz, spark or feel hot
- Wanting USB/USB-C outlets or smart dimmers
- Outdoor or garage outlets needing weatherproof covers
What homeowners ask us first
Where does code require GFCI outlets?
Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, laundry areas, outdoors, and anywhere near water. We can add GFCI protection at the outlet or at the breaker to cover a whole circuit.
Can you replace a two-prong outlet with a grounded three-prong?
Only safely if there's a ground path, or by adding GFCI protection where a ground isn't present (which code allows with proper labeling). We check before swapping so you're not getting a false sense of safety.
Why does my new outlet feel loose?
Often it was ‘back-stabbed’ instead of screwed to the terminals. We wire to the screw terminals for a solid, lasting connection.

Can you add an outlet where there isn't one?
Yes — we run a new branch from a nearby box or the panel, fish the wire, and install a grounded outlet, patching openings neatly.
How much to install a GFCI outlet?
It depends on access and how many you need. We quote before starting. Call (843) 595-9236 for a clear price.
Do USB outlets need special wiring?
No — USB and USB-C receptacles fit a standard box and connection. They're a tidy upgrade that removes bulky chargers.
Why does my GFCI keep tripping?
Usually moisture, a downstream fault, or a worn device. Our GFCI troubleshooting guide covers the checks before you call.
