Services for Safety
There are a number of electrical services that can be performed in an effort to improve the overall safety in any home. Let’s look into some of them now.
- Electrical repairs – There are thousands of home fires that occur every year as a result of some kind of an electrical issue or problem. More times than not these fires are due to problems with electrical equipment, outlets and wiring. With this thought in mind, it is imperative to repair any electrical components in your home that are aged, damaged or overloaded so as to improve the overall safety in your home.
- Upgrade that breaker panel – If the circuit breaker in your home is overloaded it will cause outages or can even overheat or catch fire. In today’s homes, especially with all the electrical appliances and devices we all have, it is recommended that you upgrade to a 200-amp panel which would allow you to use more electrical appliances and circuits. Since the electrical panel provides electricity to every area in your home, if a problem arises with the panel it can lead to burns, shocks, fires and a great deal of damage to electrical appliances, components and the likes.
- Installation of whole home surge protection – We all know that electrical surges can occur with appliances that use high power such as your HVAC system or even from various issues with the outside power lines. Whatever the source, surges can cause grave damage to your electronics and appliances and if strong enough can actually destroy computer circuit boards. When you choose to install a whole home surge protector, you are able to avoid the many hazards that occur from power spikes and surges contributing to a longer lifespan of your electrical appliances and devices.
- Update electrical codes – Electrical codes are put in place to comply with safety standards. Local codes can be violated by way of undersized circuits, lack of GFCI outlets, overcrowded wires and overloading to name a few. With that said, it is important to schedule routine home safety inspections to ensure your home is compliant with codes and to identify any potential violations. Gervais Electric, Inc. stands ready to provide inspection services and advise homeowners on options they have to upgrade or repair their home electrical system and enhance the safety of their homes.
- Upgrade knobs and tubes – In homes that are 100 plus years old often times they are designed with knob and tube circuits. The average home today would not be able to handle the power that is required if they have a knob and tube circuit. Our team is equipped to rewire old homes and upgrade electrical systems in order to eliminate any hazards that can occur. Though it can be a complex job, it will enhance the electrical capacity of your home, adding to your home’s overall safety.
