  • Multiple outlets
    First GFCI: $145. Each additional on the same call: $50–$80.

What's included

  • Power off + lockout
  • Replace device + test
  • Verify reset functionality
  • Code-compliance label on panel (where applicable)

When to call

When you're remodeling a kitchen or bath (code requires GFCI on all such outlets), when an existing GFCI won't reset, or before a home inspection if your bathroom/kitchen still has standard outlets.

Can I install a GFCI myself?
