Hiring a licensed professional electrician to install or replace a residential GFCI outlet typically costs between $150 and $300 total, combining standard service call dispatch fees, hourly labor rates, and the retail cost of the GFCI receptacle. Electricians charge for their specialized expertise, safety precautions required when working with live electrical boxes, and proper code compliance testing. If the wall box lacks a required ground wire or requires retrofitting, labor costs may increase. Verification: Request an itemized service estimate from a local licensed electrical contractor before authorizing any installation work.
