Outlet and switch work in Orlando typically costs $200–$600 for three devices in one visit, about $350 on average. That means existing wiring and one trip, such as one GFCI and two standard outlets. New outlets that need wire, and 240-volt outlets, cost more.
What does the typical outlet price assume?
Three devices, existing boxes and wiring, and one trip charge built in. We chose three because one small device rarely covers a visit. The low end is close to one GFCI and two switches at the cheaper published rates. The high end is three devices at the higher per-point rates below.
The arithmetic is simple. Take the per-device prices in the table below, multiply by three, then shade down to $350 because one trip covers all of them. ElProCo's own prices for one GFCI and two standard devices come to $310, before any time beyond the first hour.
What do Orlando electricians charge per outlet?
Per-device prices run from about $25 at In Phaze to $200 at Happy Home Electric, before any service call. Here is what local sources publish:
| Source | Job | Published price |
|---|---|---|
| ElProCo | Outlet or switch replacement, per device | $85 |
| ElProCo | GFCI, per device | $140 |
| ElProCo | 240-volt outlet | $345 and up |
| In Phaze Electric, Winter Park | Receptacle replacement, per device | $25 to $95 |
| Happy Home Electric | Outlet repairs | $75 to $200 |
| Happy Home Electric | Simple GFCI replacement | $100 to $175 |
| Biddaro, Orlando | Indicative rate per point | $100 to $250 |
Read these knowing that a per-device price usually sits on top of a service call. A $25 outlet is not a $25 visit. Whoever you hire, check them on the state's Verify a Licensee search.
How do Orlando outlet prices compare with national guides?
Guide numbers usually run above a contractor's per-device price, because a guide tends to roll in a share of the trip charge, and perhaps new wiring. So a guide's per-outlet number and a contractor's per-device number measure different things.
What moves the price of outlet and switch work?
| Factor | Published effect |
|---|---|
| Trip or service call | $89 at ElProCo, or $100 to $200 at Isisma, usually with the first hour |
| GFCI instead of standard | $55 more per device at ElProCo |
| Dimmer instead of a switch | More than a standard switch, quoted with the job |
| A new outlet with a wire run | $179 to $304, per Permitdeck's directory |
| 240 volts | $345 and up at ElProCo |
When is a new outlet the wrong fix?
A new outlet won't fix a circuit problem. If several outlets die at once, or a breaker trips when you use them, that's a repair visit, priced in the repair cost guide. Warm, discolored or crackling outlets need attention soon, and you should stop using them. If you are adding outlets because your panel is full, the panel upgrade cost guide is the better read. For anything near water, read about GFCI outlets before you buy.
How do I get my outlet price?
List your devices and see the typical price, then get the firm number from a licensed electrician at the visit. More detail is on the main outlets and switches page.

Common questions
Does the typical price include materials?
Ask at the visit. ElProCo notes that permits and materials may add to its listed prices. Smart switches and designer devices are often extra.
How much does it cost to replace one outlet in Orlando?
The device price is modest, but the trip is what you pay for. ElProCo lists $85 per device with an $89 service call and one-hour minimum. So one outlet rarely makes financial sense alone.
How much does a GFCI outlet cost to install?
ElProCo lists $140 per GFCI, and Happy Home Electric lists $100 to $175 for a simple GFCI replacement.
How much does a new outlet cost where none exists?
More than a swap, because of the wire run. Permitdeck's directory gives $179 to $304, with an average of $230, and contractors rarely publish this figure.
How much does a 240-volt outlet cost?
ElProCo starts at $345. For an EV outlet with a longer run, see the EV charger cost guide.
