The question “how much does it cost to fix an electrical outlet” pops up in every homeowner’s life sooner or later. Whether you’re selling a house, remodeling a kitchen, or chasing down a tripped breaker, that single fixture can influence safety, code compliance, and your resale value. CountBricks has compiled this in-depth guide so Phoenix-area homeowners—and anyone nationwide—can budget accurately and avoid surprises.
Outlet repair or replacement typically ranges from $95–$280 across the U.S. Phoenix, AZ usually hovers in the $110–$225 band. Where you land inside that spread depends on:
• Outlet type (standard 120 V, GFCI, USB-combo, smart outlet)
• Age and accessibility of existing wiring
• Permit or inspection requirements in your municipality
• Whether drywall needs patching after the electrical work
• Labor availability—rush jobs or after-hours calls cost more
Traditional estimates rely on static price books. CountBricks uses AI to pull live material costs from regional suppliers and factors in up-to-the-minute labor rates. Our field app captures voice notes on site, turning them into a line-item proposal in minutes. That means your quote always mirrors current market reality rather than last quarter’s averages.
1. Diagnostic visit – $45–$90
2. Replacement outlet device – $4–$38 depending on type
3. Labor for removal/installation – $50–$140
4. Minor drywall repair & paint touch-up (if needed) – $25–$65
5. Permit/inspection (city dependent) – $0–$50
CountBricks bundles these elements so you see one transparent total. Each line can be toggled on or off during our AI-driven voice conversation—perfect for homeowners who want to perform some cosmetic work themselves and save money.

Yes, you can buy a $3 outlet and watch an online tutorial, but consider:
• Local codes often require licensed electricians for any fixed wiring alterations.
