Colorado Springs Electrical Maintenance Service

We have only had the ability to harness electricity for a very short time compared to all of human history, but there's no doubt that it's absolutely indispensable now. Almost every aspect of our modern lives is centered around the use of electricity, to the point where we hardly know what to do with ourselves when it is suddenly malfunctioning or unavailable. But as useful and convenient as it is, electricity can pose a serious hazard to the health of our families and can needlessly drain our bank accounts when a system hasn't received adequate Colorado Springs electrical maintenance service.

  • Every residential and commercial property does, of course, use electricity—which means every residential and commercial property needs electrical maintenance service in Colorado Springs. It may seem strange to call a licensed electrician when there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, but there are some huge benefits to Colorado Springs electrical maintenance: it can make your household safer, reduce your energy expenses and preserve your system, so you don't need costly replacements as frequently.

  • If you want the benefits of electrical maintenance for your home or business property, trust your local, qualified Colorado Springs electrician to carry out a thorough, reliable inspection and tune-up on your system. The team of electrical service professionals at Mr. Electric of Colorado Springs are dedicated to delivering outstanding service in the form of expert workmanship and customer care that goes the extra mile.

  • Many property owners, residential or commercial, don't like to call specialists like electricians or plumbers until there's a catastrophic problem that simply can't be ignored. But an electrical system failure is, at best, an incredibly aggravating inconvenience—at worst, it's a stress-inducing nightmare that could cause injury or costly property damage. Who needs more stress, inconvenience and unexpected expenses in their life?

    You can keep your household—and your bank account—safe and unbothered with regular Colorado Springs electrical maintenance. Here are the three biggest advantages of regular electrical maintenance in Colorado Springs.

  • We all know that electricity has the potential to be dangerous, but because we use it so often without any cause for concern, it's easy to become complacent and forget that the potential for injury or property damage does exist. One of the most serious problems that could occur with a deteriorated electrical system is a house fire. Old, degraded wiring and fixtures can give off sparks inside your wall, setting the frame of your house on fire from the inside and sending flames racing through the building. Needless to say, a house fire can result in injury, death and staggering property loss. Another potential problem is the risk of electrical shock from damaged electrical components, which can be very painful and debilitating.

  • The risk just isn't worth it, especially when it can be easily avoided with routine preventive and corrective Colorado Springs electrical maintenance service. Our experienced electricians take safety very seriously, and we have the expertise to check for and find potential problems that others may miss. Colorado Springs homeowners and business owners alike can rely on us to ensure that their electrical systems are in perfectly safe, and functional condition and that no nasty surprises are coming down the wire.

  • Most people hate the thought that they are paying far more than necessary for the energy charges on their monthly utility bills, but that's exactly what happens when a system is not well-maintained and begins to fall into disrepair. Your system contains a lot of moving parts that have to handle the pressure of electricity moving through them. Naturally, that causes various components of your system to take wear and tear damage over time. The more those components deteriorate, the more they lose their ability to function efficiently and require more and more electricity to provide the same level of function.

  • That additional electricity draw is reflected on your energy bills as rising usage costs, which can be confusing (and really annoying) if you are using your fixtures and appliances in the same way you always have. But let’s assume your air conditioning (one of the highest energy users in homes) is in good working order. By adjusting, cleaning and replacing components as needed during routine electrical maintenance service in Colorado Springs, your professional electrician can prevent the deterioration that leads to inefficient use of fuel and stop your energy bills from continuously increasing as your system loses function. We may even be able to lower your current usage with Colorado Springs electrical maintenance.

  • Speaking of all that wear and tear damage, it doesn't just cause your electrical system to lose energy efficiency. The deterioration also leads to components of your electrical equipment breaking down and needing to be replaced. That includes large, expensive parts of your system such as electrically operated appliances, fixtures and even the circuit breaker panel itself. You probably don't need us to tell you that those components usually don't come cheap, so it makes a lot of sense to keep them in as good of a condition as possible to extend their lifespan and avoid needing replacements for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Maintenance Service in Colorado Springs

Want to know more about our services or have questions about Colorado Springs's electrical maintenance service? Give us a call to chat with our friendly customer service representatives and get the info you need or read our responses to a few common questions below.

How Often Do I Need Colorado Springs Electrical Maintenance?

That may depend on the condition of your system or if your property has unique commercial needs, but generally speaking, the recommendation is to schedule a maintenance electrician for Colorado Springs electrical maintenance once every one to three years. Once we've completed an initial maintenance assessment for your residential or commercial property, we will recommend a timeframe for repeat services, explain our recommendations clearly, and answer any questions you may have so you're able to make an informed decision about the care and maintenance of your property.

What is Whole Home Surge Protection, and Do I Need It?

Your home in Colorado Springs probably contains some pretty expensive pieces of electronic equipment, from computers and televisions to appliances and entertainment systems. Computers and the like are often protected by power bars that block surges, but appliances like your refrigerator, dishwasher, freezer, and more are not. All that equipment has the potential to be seriously damaged beyond repair by an unexpected surge or spike in electricity, and the costs associated with replacing everything at once are absolutely eye-watering. You can prevent that unpleasant scenario from occurring by asking your Colorado Springs electrical maintenance professional to install Mr. Electric's Whole Home Surge Protection to protect all the electronic equipment in your home from serious damage.

Is It Dangerous to Have Aluminum Wiring in My House?

Not necessarily, although it does have the potential to cause problems. The aluminum wiring itself is actually safe, but the possible issue lies with faulty terminations in receptacles or switches or in a lighting fixture and other equipment. Aluminum oxidizes over time, which means it can generate heat in places where the wiring has not been terminated correctly. It may seem like everything is perfectly fine, but in reality, the deterioration and potential hazards are hidden behind fixtures inside your walls. If you have aluminum wiring, your Colorado Springs maintenance electrician can double-check to ensure the terminations were handled correctly when they were originally installed, so you don't have to worry that there's a problem brewing inside your wall.

What Are Some Good Electrical Safety Tips?

Of course! Electricity is a necessity in our homes and businesses, and it's perfectly safe as long as your system gets regular Colorado Springs electrical maintenance, and you follow a few basic safety guidelines. Here are some safety tips that will give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your system is functioning as intended and not being subjected to undue peril:

  • Limit Heat-Producing Devices: With power bars and extension cords in the mix, it's tempting to plug a number of devices into a single receptacle, especially if you don't have enough receptacles or they're not conveniently located for how you want to use your devices. Pay attention to the type of devices you're plugging in—it's important to only have one heat-producing device plugged into a receptacle at a time. Toasters, coffee makers and hair dryers are all examples of heat-producing devices.
  • Plug Major Appliances Directly Into the Wall: Major appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers and dryers need to be plugged directly into a wall receptacle, not a power bar or extension cord.
  • Don't Bury Cords: It's important not to run electrical cords underneath carpets, rugs or other insulating materials as this could create a fire hazard.
  • Keep Electrical Devices Away From Water: You might be thinking that's a pretty obvious piece of advice, but it's surprisingly easy to forget about in areas like the bathroom or kitchen that are prone to water exposure and where we also need to use electrical devices frequently. Even with GFCI outlets installed, it makes sense to keep devices at least a few feet away from water sources such as sinks.
  • Replace Damaged Cords: Devices with damaged cords, or damaged extension cords, should be replaced. It's not worth trying to repair them—replacement is the safer and more cost-effective option.
  • Test GFCI Outlets Regularly: Once per quarter, property owners should go around their building and test their GFCI outlets to make sure they are functioning properly. It only takes a few minutes and could mean the difference between safety and disaster for your household.
  • As a homeowner in Colorado Springs, you probably handle plenty of maintenance tasks around your property on a regular basis, so it's understandable to wonder if Colorado Springs electrical maintenance is just another job to add to your to-do list and handle yourself. Because your electrical system is so complex, this is not a DIY job.

    It takes years of training and hands-on experience to be able to thoroughly inspect a system for potential weak points—while an amateur could certainly take a look around on their own, they wouldn't be able to understand everything they're seeing or identify components that require specific corrective maintenance. And, if it happened that repairs were necessary, an amateur would not have the experience or skill to get them done safely, on the spot, while adhering to all applicable building codes and safety regulations. For those reasons, electrical maintenance service in Colorado Springs is just not one of the property maintenance chores that can be handled by anyone other than a licensed electrician.
