Outlets, Switches & Device Upgrades

Trusted Local Electricians

Outlets and switches are the most frequently used components in any home’s electrical system — and they wear out, fail, and become outdated over time. Whether you need a single GFCI replaced, a full upgrade to USB outlets throughout the house, or new controls for your lighting, Hi-Lite Electric handles device upgrades of all types for homeowners across Northern Illinois.

What We Do

Outlet Replacement & Upgrades

We replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets, USB-equipped outlets, night-light outlets, and 30A through 50A receptacles for appliances. If your home still has two-prong outlets, ungrounded receptacles, or outlets that simply don’t hold plugs the way they used to, we can assess and upgrade what’s needed.

Specialty Outlets

For flooring projects and finished spaces, we install duplex floor outlets — recessed into the floor and properly protected. We also handle brick cut-in installations for homes where an outlet is needed in a masonry wall, a job that requires the right tools and approach to do cleanly.

Switches, Dimmers & Timers

We replace standard switches and install dimmer switches for compatible LED and incandescent fixtures. For exterior lights, garage lights, and other applications where automated control makes sense, we install 24-hour digital and programmable in-wall timers — a simple upgrade that makes a noticeable difference in convenience and energy management.

Occupancy Sensors & Photocells

In-wall occupancy sensors are an effective way to ensure lights don’t get left on in garages, utility rooms, and secondary spaces. Photocells for exterior lighting automate dusk-to-dawn operation. We install and program both so they operate correctly for the location.

Device Modifications

Sometimes the existing box isn’t big enough for what you need. We perform gang expansions — converting single-gang boxes to double-gang when an additional device is required — and install deep bubble covers for outdoor outlets that need weatherproof protection while a plug is in use.

Why Hi-Lite Electric

Device work seems minor until you encounter a box that’s overcrowded, wiring that’s been improperly spliced, or an outlet that’s failing because of a deeper circuit issue. We diagnose what’s actually going on before making a recommendation. ICC Certified, licensed, bonded, and insured — with a 90-day parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty on every job.
