Electrical Wiring Installation & Repairs

Do your lights flicker when you plug in a device? Is your circuit breaker tripping frequently? Are you living in an older home? If you answered yes to any of these, then it may be time for an electrical safety inspection of your home’s electrical wiring system.

Electrical codes get updated, improved, and even deleted every three years to ensure the safety and efficiency of electrical systems. If you live in an older home, chances are the wiring is not up to code, making it unsafe and vulnerable to fires and other electrical hazards.

Electrical codes today require arc fault protection (AFCI) and ground fault protection (GFCI) on almost every outlet in the home. AFCIs protect against sparking that could lead to house fires and GFCIs protect against electrical shocks.

The new electrical codes also include making sure that smoke detectors are placed in every bedroom and CO2 detectors outside of every bedroom. These are minor updates that can have major impacts on the safety of you and your home.

It's a good idea to have your electrical wiring inspected in the following situations:

1. Home Renovations

If you plan on making any home additions or building new structures that will contain outlets and lighting fixtures, then an inspection of your home electrical wiring is required.
2. Frequent Electrical Issues

If you’re experiencing frequent electrical issues, such as flickering lights, tripped breakers, or outlets don’t work, it may be a sign of issues with your electrical system.
3. Burning Smells

If you notice a burning smell from your electrical outlets, it’s important to have your electrical wiring inspected as soon as possible.
4. Aging Homes

If your home is more than 40 years old and hasn’t had any electrical updates.
5. Safety Concerns

If you have exposed wires or outdated electrical systems. Newer appliances pull more energy that require a system that can support these demands.
