Why You Should Upgrade Your Circuits
Many homeowners don’t know their electrical circuits need an upgrade, while others have concerns about money and don’t have any idea what installing or updating their electrical circuit panels costs. Protecting your family, home, and technology is actually affordable and worth the cost of having our professionals update your circuits. Consider the following reasons why you should upgrade your circuits today:
- Overloaded Outlets – If your home’s circuit breakers trip more often than usual, you should upgrade your circuits. Other reasons include wanting to have more outlets for your devices or using too many power strips or extension cords.
- Specialty Lighting – Do you want to add specialty lighting to your home? Upgrading your circuits can support wall sconces, mood lighting, recessed lighting, task lighting, track lighting, and more.
- Security Systems – A security system can be worthwhile to keep your family safe and ward off intruders, but you need circuits that can support a security system’s control panel.
- Appliances – Whether you got new heavy-duty appliances or bought a new home, you may need additional outlets to support a second refrigerator in your garage or a chest freezer in your basement.
- Ceiling Fans – Upgrading your circuits can make it easy to turn off your ceiling fan while you leave the lights on with the flip of a switch.
- Additional Outdoor Electricity – A circuit panel update can help you make plenty of outdoor additions to support outdoor holiday lighting or extend your living space. Upgrading your circuits also lets you add security lighting, a steam room, sauna, hot tub, pool, or a new sprinkler system.
- Emergency Generator Installation – Ensure your home has a reliable power source during a blackout. Adding an emergency generator to your home requires a dedicated sub-panel.
- Home Office Equipment – With more Texans working from home than ever before, your home office may require more power outlets to support all your equipment.
- Home Entertainment Centers – The living room can use a lot of power to run your TV, stereo, speakers, video gaming systems, DVD player, and other electronics. Installing or updating circuits gives you the capacity to plug all these devices in safely.
- Cable or Satellite TV – Adding cable or satellite television to your home’s bedrooms is easy when you update your circuits.
- Home Efficiency Upgrades – A new electric vehicle charging station, solar panels, or a solar water heater can help you make the most of your home.
- Garage or Workshop – If you spend considerable time in your workshop or garage, you probably already know how annoying it is to constantly unplug and re-plug your devices to use your power tools. We can add additional outlets to make your space more functional.
