Making Sure Your Home Electrical System Is Safe

In today’s modern world, we live in homes with multiple appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers, hairdryers, refrigerators, etc. All of these demand far more voltage than years past and many older homes simply don’t have the ability to support the power needed. If you find yourself in an older home and love the charm, but need more power, then it’s time to consult with an experienced electrician about ways to expand your home’s power supply. Once in your home, the electrician will inspect the wiring of the home and in older homes, it’s not uncommon to find that the electrical system can date back to the ’40s or earlier in some cases. That type of system simply cannot support all the gadgets and appliances that we use in today’s world. The first thing your licensed electrician will do is increase the power brought in from the street. He will accomplish this by updating your breaker boxes and getting rid of the old panel. This is something that should only be done by a professional electrician—it is not a handyman job you attempt on your own. This is not a time to experiment with your DIY skills. Safety is too important here!

Important Questions To Ask Your Electrician Regarding Your Home Electrical System

It’s important to ask some key questions. It will show that you’ve done your homework and it will assure you that the job is done right. Some good questions to ask include:

• Are you removing the entire old electrical panel?
• What is the number of circuits my home requires?
• Will every circuit have the correct size wire and breaker?
• Are you planning on switching just some of the power over or all of it?
• Are you planning on obtaining all the permits needed?

Asking these questions is a good way to avoid being taken advantage of by less than honest electrical contractors, or paying for more than you end up receiving. Electrical work is not the area where you want to discover a shoddy job done and putting you and your family at risk. Any experienced and qualified electrician will know how to not only handle the issues and do the work with quality assurance, but also know how to get the necessary permits for the job to be done right. Once the work is completed, you will no have to be concerned about your family’s safety when it comes to your electrical system. You also will not have to worry about blowing circuits or overloading your power supply. Whether you need a complete overhaul to your power box, or just brought up to date and inspected, we will get the job done right the first time so you can rest easy!
