Outlet Relocation in Denver, CO : Jim Needham Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Drain & Electrical

Sometimes the original placement just doesn’t work: behind furniture, out of reach, or stuck where it no longer fits your layout. At Jim Needham Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Drain & Electrical, we move outlets to more practical, accessible locations with clean results and safe, code-compliant wiring. If you’re updating a room, changing your floor plan, or correcting poor placement from years past, we make sure power access fits your needs.

Relocation involves more than just patching drywall. We evaluate circuit routing, confirm safe distances from plumbing or fixtures, and ensure your new setup looks intentional—not like a last-minute adjustment. Our electricians work with precision to leave you with seamless access and no lingering mess. If your current setup feels limiting, we’ll help open it up with smarter placement that supports the way your space actually functions.

Why Might You Need to Move an Outlet?

It’s easy to overlook electrical placement until it starts getting in the way—blocked by new furniture, awkwardly positioned, or no longer aligned with how you use the room. Relocating a connection point solves that problem without rewiring your entire home. We evaluate the safest, cleanest route to shift it and make the change with as little disruption as possible.

Common reasons homeowners request outlet relocation include:

Installing built-ins or mounting a TV where the outlet is hidden or unusable

Eliminating the need for unsightly cords or extension strips that pose tripping hazards

Improving reach and accessibility in kitchens, home offices, or workshops

Fixing outdated or code-violating placements in wet zones like bathrooms or near sinks

Reconfiguring a room layout after moving beds, desks, or entertainment centers

Relocating a single unit can improve both function and safety, especially in high-use spaces. We’ll guide you through placement options, handle the full installation, and make sure it blends into the space without a trace.

Built for the Way You Actually Use the Room

The original setup might have made sense when the house was built, but your lifestyle probably looks very different now. More devices, smarter tech, and updated furniture all influence how you need to access power throughout the day. We take your routines into account and reposition electrical access to match real-world use—not outdated blueprints. It’s a small change that can make a room feel more comfortable, more flexible, and much easier to enjoy.

Do relocated outlets need to meet updated code requirements?

Yes, anytime a connection is moved or modified, it must comply with current NEC (National Electrical Code) standards. This includes proper spacing, GFCI protection in certain areas, and secure mounting. Our team ensures all changes meet safety regulations and modern expectations. It’s not just about moving the outlet—it’s about making sure it’s done right.

How hard is it to move an outlet to a different wall?

It depends on the distance and the construction of the wall, but it’s a routine service for a licensed electrician. We check the wiring path, make sure there’s no conflict with plumbing or structural elements, and reroute the power safely. In most cases, the drywall patching is minimal and can be finished cleanly. The end result looks seamless and works exactly where you need it.

Can you move more than one outlet during a single project?

Absolutely. Many homeowners choose to relocate several outlets during a remodel or layout change to improve the room’s overall flow. We’ll walk through your space, listen to your needs, and develop a plan that fits both your goals and your timeline. It’s an efficient way to make your home more functional without extensive renovation.
