Outlet not working | What it is and what it costs

What it usually is

A dead outlet is often a tripped GFCI elsewhere on the circuit, a tripped breaker or a worn-out outlet. Several dead outlets in a row point to the circuit, not the outlet.

What to do first

Press the reset button on nearby GFCI outlets and check the panel for a tripped breaker. If an outlet is hot, sparks or smells burnt, stop using it.

The price that covers it

Outlet or switch replacement: $129
GFCI outlet install: $149
Electrical troubleshooting (diagnosis): $79
