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.

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.

Pool & Hot-Tub Wiring

Pool and hot tub electrical wiring refers to the electrical installation required for safely powering and operating these water features. Pool and hot tub electrical wiring must be installed in compliance with local building codes and safety regulations to prevent the risk of electric shock. This includes the use of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) to protect against electrical hazards in wet environments. Pools and hot tubs typically require dedicated circuits to power the pumps, heaters, and other electrical components. Proper bonding and grounding of pool and hot tub equipment is essential to prevent the risk of electric shock.

It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician with experience in pool and hot tub electrical wiring to ensure that the installation is done correctly and safely. By following these guidelines and working with a qualified professional, you can ensure that your pool and hot tub electrical wiring is installed properly and operates safely.

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.

Sub-Panels

An electric subpanel, also known as a subdistribution panel, is a smaller electrical panel that is connected to the main electrical panel in a building. Electric subpanels are used to distribute power to specific areas or circuits within a building. They help to reduce the electrical load on the main panel and provide a convenient way to organize and control power distribution.

Subpanels are typically installed in areas where there is a high concentration of electrical circuits, such as a basement, garage, or utility room. They are connected to the main panel through feeder cables that run from the main panel to the subpanel. Subpanels are equipped with circuit breakers that protect the individual circuits from overloading and short circuits.

A professional electrician will determine the appropriate size and capacity of the subpanel based on the electrical load requirements of the circuits it will serve. Electric subpanels are a useful component of an electrical system, providing a safe and efficient way to distribute power to specific areas or circuits within a building.
