Electrical Panel Upgrades
If you're planning to undertake major renovations or additions to your home, it's often necessary to upgrade the electrical panel to accommodate the increased electrical load. Adding new rooms, appliances, or electrical circuits may exceed the capacity of your existing panel.
Complete Rewires
If your home has experienced electrical issues, such as frequent tripping of circuit breakers, flickering lights, or evidence of electrical overheating (such as charred outlets or wiring), it's important to address these safety concerns. Rewiring the house can help eliminate potential fire hazards and reduce the risk of electrical accidents.
Electrical Subpanel Install
Installing an electrical subpanel allows for additional circuits, increased capacity, and improved electrical distribution, ensuring safety and preventing overloading in your electrical system. Subpanels are often added to garages or sheds to support their need for power.
Electric Meter Replacements
If your electric meter is not functioning correctly or providing inaccurate readings, it may need to be replaced. Malfunctioning meters can result in incorrect billing, leading to financial discrepancies for both the utility company and the consumer. Replacing the meter resolves this issue and ensures accurate measurement of electricity consumption.
Fuse Box Replacement
Older homes may still have electrical systems with fuse boxes instead of circuit breaker panels. Fuse boxes can be less reliable and may not provide adequate protection. Upgrading to a circuit breaker panel improves safety, convenience, and allows for easier troubleshooting in case of electrical issues.
Troubleshooting Electrical Issues
Electrical systems can be intricate, with interconnected components and wiring. Troubleshooting is often required to determine the underlying cause of any electrical problems you might be experiencing. We have the technical knowledge to navigate complex electrical systems, trace circuits, and locate the source of the problem effectively.
Electrical Repairs
Once the cause of the problem has been identified, the electrician will repair or replace any faulty electrical components that are causing the problem. This could involve replacing a defective outlet, switch, breaker, light fixture, etc. They will ensure that the replacements are compatible, meet safety standards, and function properly.
Electrical Safety
Electricity can be extremely hazardous if not handled properly. Electrical accidents can lead to severe injuries, burns, electric shocks, and even fatalities. By practicing electrical safety measures, the risk of accidents is significantly reduced, ensuring the well-being and safety of everyone.
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
Having working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors installed provides peace of mind, knowing that there is an added layer of protection against fire hazards. They serve as a constant reminder of the importance of fire safety and provide reassurance to occupants that their well-being is being prioritized.
Surge Protection
Electrical surges can occur due to lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or switching on/off high-powered electrical equipment. These surges can damage or destroy sensitive electronic devices like computers, televisions, appliances, and HVAC systems. Whole-house surge protection helps prevent these surges from reaching and damaging your valuable equipment.
GFCI Outlets
GFCI outlets are required by electrical codes in specific areas of a home or building where water is present or where electrical devices are used near water sources. Common locations for GFCI outlets include bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, outdoor areas, and basements. This helps provide additional protection against electrical shocks.
Lighting
Lighting can significantly enhance the ambiance and mood of your space. By using different intensities, colors, and lighting techniques, you can create various effects to suit different occasions and desired atmospheres. Soft and warm lighting can create a cozy and intimate setting, while brighter and cooler lighting can contribute to a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans can be used throughout the year, not just in warm weather. Many ceiling fans are designed with a reversible motor that allows the fan blades to rotate in a clockwise direction. By running the fan in reverse at a low speed, you can help keep the room warmer and reduce heating costs.
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting, also known as can lights or downlights, refers to light fixtures that are installed into the ceiling or wall cavity, creating a streamlined and unobtrusive lighting solution. One of the main advantages of recessed lighting is its space-saving design. Recessed lighting fixtures are often compatible with dimmer switches, allowing you to adjust the brightness levels to suit different needs and moods.
Exterior Lighting
One important function of exterior lighting is to provide illumination for safety and security reasons. Properly placed lights can help prevent accidents by illuminating pathways, steps, and potential hazards in the outdoor space. Additionally, well-lit outdoor areas deter potential intruders and improve the security of the property.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting allows you to showcase and emphasize key features of your outdoor space. This includes architectural elements, such as the façade of a house, columns, or arches, as well as landscape features like trees, shrubs, flower beds, or water features. By strategically placing lights, you can draw attention to these focal points and create a visually appealing and inviting atmosphere.
Bathroom Fan / Light / Heat
One of the primary functions of a bathroom fan is to control moisture levels in the bathroom. Without proper ventilation, moisture can lead to mold growth, mildew, and water damage to walls, ceilings, and fixtures. The bathroom fan helps to remove excess moisture from the air, reducing the risk of these problems.
Pool Wiring
Pool wiring must comply with local electrical codes and regulations to ensure safety. These codes may specify requirements for grounding, bonding, circuit protection, and equipment installation. Pool wiring should be separated from other electrical circuits and kept dedicated to pool equipment. This helps to prevent overload and ensures that the pool equipment has its own designated electrical supply.
Hot Tub Wiring
Bonding and grounding are essential for hot tub wiring. Bonding involves connecting all metal components of the hot tub, including the shell, equipment, and associated structures, to a common bonding grid. This helps to reduce the risk of electrical shock by equalizing voltage potential. Proper grounding involves connecting the electrical system to a grounding electrode system, such as grounding rods, to safely dissipate electrical faults.
Electric Car Chargers (EV Chargers)
The electrician will assess your home's electrical system to determine if it can handle the additional load of an EV charger. They will consider factors such as the capacity of your electrical panel, available circuit capacity, and wiring infrastructure. The electrician will run the necessary electrical wiring from the electrical panel to the chosen location of the EV charger. This may involve running conduit, installing appropriate wiring, and ensuring proper grounding and bonding.
Mini split Air Conditioning
A mini-split air conditioning system, also known as a ductless mini-split or ductless heat pump, is a type of HVAC system used for cooling and, in some models, heating individual rooms or zones in a home or building. It consists of two main components: an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units.
