Why Replacement Is the Standard Approach: In practice, faulty power points are almost always replaced rather than repaired. The cost of a new quality double power point is minimal, and replacement provides a complete solution with all-new internal components, proper spring contacts, and modern safety features. Attempting to repair worn or damaged internals is rarely practical or cost-effective.
When Minor Fixes Apply: Occasionally, issues may only require connection tightening at the terminals or a simple face plate swap. Glenn assesses the situation and recommends the most practical solution.
Professional Assessment: Glenn determines the appropriate solution based on actual outlet condition, safety considerations, and long-term reliability. A standard double power point replacement costs from $80, making full replacement the most sensible approach in nearly all cases.
