Is it possible to repair my electrical system or install new components such as lighting and receptacles without the hassle of patching and painting to repair holes in the walls and or ceilings?
Yes, our trench less techniques allows the installation of power, lighting and low voltage wiring in most locations without damaging your walls or ceilings.
What are some signs that there may be a problem with my electrical system?
-
Reoccurring problems with tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.
-
An unusual odor or burning smell near electrical devices.
-
A sizzling or humming sound at switches, receptacles, light fixtures, circuit panels or anywhere in your electrical system.
Do circuit breakers in your home trip often or do fuses keep blowing?
A home electrical system has built-in safeguards to prevent electrical overload.
Too much demand causes the breakers to shut off automatically or the fuses to melt.
When a circuit shuts down repeatedly, it should not be ignored.
Is it Ok if extension cords are needed to reach the outlets in any room?
Electrical outlets, especially in older homes, are often spaced too far apart for modern living conditions. This may not only create too much demand on too few outlets, it also poses a hazard when the extension cords are run under rugs and furniture.
Where are GFCI protected receptacles required?
The National Electrical Code requires additional protection for receptacles in specific areas such as kitchens, baths, utility rooms, garages and outdoors. Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) which are identifiable by their TEST and RESET buttons are generally required in proximity to wet locations.
Do electrical switches or outlets feel warm or tingly?
Loose or deteriorating electrical connections such as the wiring terminals on switches and receptacles impede the flow of electricity and create resistance. This may create a dangerous condition that can result in shock or fire.
Do your receptacle outlets not accept three-prong plugs?
The third or grounding prong on a typical receptacle or appliance plug provides an extra measure of safety against electrical shock. Older two-prong receptacle outlets, installed in homes before this innovation, may not be adequately grounded and should be upgraded for safety and also to meet the current electrical code requirements.
Has the electrical (fuse box or circuit breaker panel) in your home been upgraded to at least 100 amps?
If the home is over 25 years old, you could have an inadequate electrical system. Today many municipalities and home inspectors may not approve a real-estate transaction unless the minimum code requirements have been met.
