Malfunctioning Electrical System
Colorado Springs residents who live in homes built before the turn of the century may have old, faulty wiring that is no longer up to code. With more people working from home than ever before, having a system that can support your work infrastructure, as well as any entertainment technology you have, is of the utmost importance. Some indications that your electrical system is malfunctioning include:
- Constantly having to reset breakers that have tripped
- Blown fuses as a result of energy overload
- Lights that seem to flicker or occasionally dim
- Warm outlets, switch plates, or electrical panel
- Discoloration around outlets, such as burn marks
Some of these signs can be highly dangerous. If you’re living in an older home and haven’t had your electrical system updated since moving in, it’s time to call in a licensed electrician to keep you and your family safe.
Our Colorado Springs Electrical Remodeling Service: What’s Involved
The term ‘electrical remodel’ is fairly self-explanatory, but unless you’re an electrician, you probably don’t know everything that this service includes. If this sounds like you, don’t worry—that’s why we’re the experts and not you! Your Colorado Springs electrical remodeling service will be unique to your situation and depend on the state of your current system and needs. That being said, the components of an electrical remodel may include some or all of the following:
Breaker Panel Inspection
One thing that all electrical remodel services have in common is a breaker panel inspection. Our licensed electricians will use their comprehensive knowledge to assess the condition of your panel. Some things they’ll look out for include:
- Corroded connections
- Missing connectors
- Improperly extended circuits
- Amount of extra space for new breakers
- Panel capacity
Based on what we find, we’ll explain our next steps as well as our justification for taking those steps. We understand that electrical terminology can be confusing, so we’ll take care to explain our process and reasoning using non-technical words and phrases.
Fuse Box Replacement
If you live in a home that was built before the 1970s, there’s a chance that you have a fuse box. This type of box began to be replaced by circuit breakers after the 1960s. When fuses—a type of safety electrical wiring—are blown, they melt and need to be replaced, unlike circuit breakers that are tripped and simply need a switch to be flipped.
We’ll generally recommend placing your fuse box with a circuit breaker during your electrical remodel service.
Outlet Additions
Do you currently have power bars all over your home as a result of not having enough outlets to meet your needs? Or perhaps you’re doing a basement renovation and require outlets for the bathroom you’re putting in down there. Regardless of the reason, we can add outlets wherever you need them.
Our inspection of your circuit breaker will tell us how many additional units you’re able to add.
Circuit Additions
In a custom bath remodel, you may find you want a fan added. This will require a circuit addition. If your circuit breaker has any unused space, one or more electrical circuits can be added for additional light fixtures.
Our electricians are up to speed on building codes, so you can rest assured that any work we do complies with these codes to keep you and your family safe.
Breaker Panel Upgrade
Not enough space or capacity on your current panel? No problem! Our electricians can complete an electrical panel upgrade to ensure that you can safely connect all the devices you need.
