Electrical Repair Service

If you have a circuit breaker that won’t stop tripping, upgrading to a higher capacity circuit breaker can fix the issue and keep your appliances working when you need them. Keep in mind that in some circumstances, upgrading the breaker may also require installing higher capacity wiring throughout the circuit.

Outdated wiring can cause many problems, from power outlet malfunctions to house fires. Aluminum wiring, commonly installed in the 1960s and 70s, and knob and tube wiring, which was installed before the 1930s, pose safety risks to the structure and anyone in it. Installing modern electrical lines will give you a safe and reliable electrical flow.

Outdated two-prong outlets no longer meet building codes. Many areas of your home should also have GFCI outlets installed, but older homes are often not up to date with these modern electrical safety outlets. Upgrading electrical outlets will protect your home or business while providing more reliable power delivery.

If you have an old fashioned fuse box, getting it replaced with a modern circuit breaker panel could be the single most important home electrical repair to improve your house’s electrical system performance. An experienced electrician will be able to assess your electrical system and install a new circuit breaker box, making your electrical system safer and more functional.

If you’re hoping to sell your house, you may need to have some modifications done to bring the home up to current electrical code. For example, most insurance companies will not insure homes that have knob and tube wiring. This means that obtaining a mortgage for such a home is nearly impossible, and that diminishes your potential buyer pool substantially.
