Panel Upgrades & Installation

Technology is continually improving. The use of electrical devices is adding more work for your older electrical system.  These older systems may not be sufficient to provide enough power for your home.  If your power supply is unreliable or if you are planning to remodel your home, an electrical panel upgrade might be the next needed project to maintain and improve your home.

If you are planning to change wiring, starting a construction project or upgrading your breaker box and electrical panel, you should call a licensed electrician.

Service Upgrades & Installations

Electric service upgrades and installations refer to the process of replacing or upgrading electrical components in a building to meet increased power demands or to improve safety and efficiency. This can include upgrading the electrical panel, installing new wiring, adding circuits, and other electrical improvements to ensure that the electrical system can handle the demands of modern appliances and technology. Upgrading and installing electrical services should always be done by a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with safety codes and regulations.

Upgrading from a 200 amp service to a 400 amp service or larger is indeed a significant project that involves increasing the electrical capacity of a building to meet higher power demands. This process typically includes upgrading the outside meter and service, installing new grounding systems, replacing or adding new electrical panels inside the house, and installing new feeder cables to accommodate the increased amperage. It is important to have this type of upgrade done by a licensed electrician to ensure that the work is done safely and in compliance with electrical codes and regulations.

Back-up Generators

A backup generator is a standalone power source that can automatically provide electricity to your home or business during a power outage. There are two main types of backup generators - portable generators and standby generators. Portable generators are smaller, can be moved around, and are typically used for temporary power needs. Standby generators are permanently installed outside your home or business and are connected to your electrical system to automatically turn on when there is a power outage. Standby generators are typically equipped with an automatic transfer switch that detects when there is a power outage and automatically switches the electrical load from the grid to the generator. This ensures a seamless transition to backup power without the need for manual intervention.  Backup generators come in various sizes and capacities to meet different power requirements. It is important to properly size the generator based on the electrical load you want to power during an outage.

Backup generators should be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure proper wiring and compliance with local codes. Regular maintenance is also essential to ensure that the generator operates reliably when needed. Backup generators provide peace of mind during power outages by ensuring that essential appliances and systems, such as lights, refrigerators, heating/cooling systems, and medical equipment, continue to function. They can also protect your home or business from potential damage caused by extended power outages. Overall, backup generators are a reliable and convenient solution for maintaining power during emergencies and ensuring the continuity of essential services.
