A dead outlet is sometimes a thirty-second fix (a tripped GFCI hiding in the garage) and sometimes a genuine wiring fault. Either way, electricity is not the place for guesswork — a license-verified electrician finds the cause and quotes the fix firm.
Where 2026 Florida and national cost guides agree. Most jobs land inside this band — your firm quote comes after the diagnostic.
A pro finds the real problem on-site and writes a firm quote. That’s all you pay to start.
Labor + parts itemized in writing, plus a 5% service fee. The price you approve is the price you pay.
2026 cost guides agree closely on this one: Angi puts outlet repair at an average of $130 (typical $60–$250, GFCI $100–$300); HomeGuide puts a standard outlet replacement at $80–$200 and a GFCI at $90–$200, with switch replacement $50–$250. Electricians elsewhere add a $50–$200 trip fee on top; on Middleman, the licensed pro’s diagnostic visit is a flat $50 all-in ($40 to the pro + Middleman’s $10 booking fee), and the repair is quoted firm on-site. A damaged wiring run behind the wall is the exception that runs higher — and gets its own written quote.
A licensed pro accepts — you see their name and license number — and comes out to find the real problem. The $50 is your pro’s $40 visit charge plus Middleman’s $10 booking fee; that’s all you pay to start.
Labor, parts, and the 5% service fee, itemized in writing. Decline and owe nothing more — the visit even converts to a free second opinion.
Payment is held by Stripe and released only after you confirm completion — backed by your pro’s 30-day workmanship warranty.
Classic tripped-GFCI symptom — one GFCI outlet protects the whole chain downstream. It's also the kind of thing your pro checks first, so a simple cause means a simple quote.
Treat it seriously — warmth, buzzing, or scorch marks mean stop using the outlet and book promptly. These are genuine fire-risk signs.
Yes — anything beyond the original scope gets added to the quote (or a revised quote) that you approve first. No verbal add-ons, ever.
