Installing a single GFCI outlet typically costs $150 to $300, including parts, labor, and minor wiring. Installing one as part of a multi-outlet kitchen, bath, or garage upgrade is usually less per outlet because the electrician is already on site and working in the same circuit.
What affects GFCI installation cost
- Whether a circuit already exists or new wiring needs to be run
- Box type — standard, weatherproof, or in-use cover for outdoor outlets
- Permit fees if your jurisdiction requires inspection
- Number of outlets being protected on the same circuit
Modern code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, basements, and all outdoor locations. We handle GFCI installation as a stand-alone job or as part of a kitchen, bath, or remodel electrical project. Pair it with an electrical inspection to confirm your home is fully up to current code.
