Ask any Sioux Falls homeowner what keeps a living room, kitchen, or garage safe and functional, and they will likely mention the humble electrical outlet. Yet outlets do far more than power devices—when installed correctly they protect your family, improve energy efficiency, and even increase property value. CountBricks specializes in residential outlet installation and replacement, pairing licensed electricians with our AI-driven estimating platform to give you clarity before the first wire is pulled.
• Weather swings from humid summers to frigid winters place extra stress on wiring and plastic housings
• Many pre-1990s properties lack modern GFCI or AFCI protection, exposing families to shock and fire risk
• Growing tech habits—from phone chargers to EVs—demand higher load capacity and smarter layouts
When you upgrade outlets, you’re not only adding convenience. You’re building a safer electrical backbone that meets updated South Dakota codes. CountBricks ensures every outlet specification and permit aligns with local regulations and the latest National Electrical Code revisions.
• Standard 15-amp duplex for bedrooms and living areas
• 20-amp kitchen and laundry receptacles for heavy-draw appliances
• GFCI outlets required near sinks, tubs, garages, and exterior walls
• AFCI outlets to guard against arc faults in sleeping areas
• Weather-resistant covers for patios and detached garages
• USB and USB-C integrated outlets that free up wall warts and declutter countertops
Every CountBricks estimate breaks down costs in real time so you never wonder where your money is going.
• Material grade and quantity: Builder-grade to tamper-resistant designer plates
• Distance to panel: Longer cable runs increase copper usage and labor time
• Drywall, brick, or block wall type: Some surfaces demand specialized cutting tools and patching
• Access issues: Crawl spaces or attics in older homes may require additional safety measures
• Permit and inspection fees set by the City of Sioux Falls
1. Voice or video call us and describe your rooms—our AI transcribes dimensions, existing outlet counts, and device loads in seconds.
2. Our blueprint takeoff engine scans any PDF plan you upload and highlights required outlet locations per code.
3. A licensed electrician reviews, tweaks, and signs off on the scope for absolute accuracy.
4. You receive a line-item estimate, photographs of suggested products, and a proposed timeline—all inside your CountBricks dashboard.
• Test existing GFCI outlets monthly by pressing the “T” button; if they fail, schedule a replacement quickly.
• Plan at least one dedicated 20-amp circuit for future kitchen remodels—retrofitting later costs more.
• In basements, choose locking receptacles to prevent space-heater cords from loosening.
• Combine a smart outlet with a weather-sealed box outdoors to control holiday lights from your phone.
• When painting, remove outlet covers rather than taping them—paint buildup can stop plugs from seating fully.

When the Johnson family purchased a 1978 split-level on Sioux Falls’ south side, the basement had only two ungrounded outlets. The space felt more cave than family hangout. They called CountBricks, hoping to avoid the guesswork they’d faced in previous remodels.
• Limited circuits feeding multiple rooms caused frequent breaker trips
• Existing outlets lacked GFCI protection despite proximity to a utility sink
• Low ceilings and finished drywall meant minimal room for messy demolition
1. Our estimator captured room dimensions during a five-minute video chat. AI takeoff recommended eight new receptacles, one in-wall USB station, and an AFCI/GFCI combo breaker.
2. Material pricing—Romex, old-work boxes, and decorator plates—updated live, letting the Johnsons see savings when they chose a matte-white finish over stainless.
3. Install day started with circuit tracing to confirm loads. Our crew cut precision openings with oscillating saws, fed new wiring through joist bays, and installed tamper-resistant outlets at child-safe heights.
4. After verification with our digital load tester, we patched drywall using quick-set compound and micro-mesh tape. A portable HEPA vac left carpets dust-free.
• Eight code-compliant outlets evenly spaced around the perimeter
