Just FYI, outlets are super easy to swap out and I believe it's completely legal to switch your own.

I agree, if all you're doing is swapping out old receptacles, there's no need for an expensive professional. That's an easy DIY job with a pair of needlenose pliers and a screwdriver. Turn power off, disconnect old receptacle, and re-connect new receptacle the same way the old was connected, paying attention to which color wires go on which side. Watch a YouTube video if necessary, but you'll save a lot by doing it yourself. Heck, if I was closer, I'd do it for you for a Chick-fil-A Deluxe meal with waffle fries!

I assume if he knew the answer to that question, he probably wouldn’t need an electrician.
