Fixing Dead, Damaged, or Dangerous Outlets—Fast and Safely

If your outlets spark, don’t hold a plug, or just don’t work at all—it’s more than an inconvenience. It’s a safety hazard. At Northern Electric, we handle electrical outlet repairs for homes across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding neighborhoods. Whether you need a quick fix, a full replacement, or upgraded GFCI protection, we’re the local electricians you can count on.

Common Outlet Problems We Fix

Faulty outlets show up in different ways—but they all need attention. Here’s what we see most often in Twin Cities homes:

  • Dead outlets with no power
  • Outlets that feel warm or buzz when used
  • Plugs that fall out or fit too loosely
  • Sparking, crackling, or discolored outlets
  • GFCI outlets that won’t reset or keep tripping
  • Two-prong outlets in need of a grounded upgrade

If you’re seeing any of these signs, don’t ignore them—damaged or outdated outlets can lead to serious electrical risks, including fire.

Our Approach to Safe Outlet Repairs

Every home’s wiring is a little different—especially in older neighborhoods throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. That’s why our licensed electricians take the time to properly assess the issue before doing any work.
