How Do I Know if I Need Electrical Home Improvements?

There are some obvious signs that your home's electrical system needs to be updated, including lights flickering, circuit breakers tripping, and discolored outlets that feel hot to the touch.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace Wiring in an Old Home?

Home improvement electrical wiring services in homes throughout the Savannah, GA region vary depending on the age of the home, how much wiring needs to be replaced, and the overall scope of the job. Rewiring your home might not be at the forefront of your mind as a homeowner, but it's an essential part of keeping everyone in your house safe from electrical fires and other safety risks.

It can be an expensive job, but failing to address outdated wiring can be much more costly in the long run. Let the team at Mr. Electric of The Coastal Empire visit your home today and provide you with an exact quote for whole-house rewiring services.

Should I Have My Electrical Panel Upgraded?

If your electrical panel is more than 20 years old and you’re having issues, we’ll most likely recommend a replacement to ensure your electrical system can continue operating safely and reliably. You might not pay much attention to your electrical panel, but it’s designed to protect your home from overloads and other possible hazards. Scheduling regular maintenance services is a great way to keep your panel functioning as it should. Some of the issues you may be experiencing if you need to upgrade your electrical panel include visible corrosion on the panel or breakers, lights flickering, difficulty resetting it, or frequently needing to use power strips.

Scheduling whole home rewiring services is a great way to increase the value of your home. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), updating a property’s electrical system can provide up to a 66 percent return on your investment. If your electrical system is showing signs it’s outdated or it’s been more than 25 years since your home was rewired, it’s probably time to schedule an inspection to ensure everything’s working safely, reliably, and efficiently.

Which Home Electrical Improvements Provide the Most Value for a Home?

A home with an updated electrical system gives potential buyers peace of mind and safety, increasing your property’s curb appeal when it comes time to sell. Scheduling an electrical inspection before your home inspector finds issues is a great way to save time and get ahead of the process. Some electrical improvements offer a higher return on their investment than others. Mr. Electric of The Coastal Empire can inspect your electrical system and point you in the right direction. Some of the most common home electrical improvements we provide homeowners who want to increase the value of their home include the following:

• Installing GFCI breakers
• Upgrading the electrical panel
• Adding outlets to enhance functionality
• Whole home rewiring for safety and reliability
• Energy-efficient upgrades and installations

Do Homes Need to Be Rewired to Accommodate Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles can be recharged using a dedicated 110-volt outlet, but it will take much longer than a 220-volt outlet. If your home doesn't have a 220-volt outlet close to where your electric vehicle is stored, Mr. Electric of The Coastal Empire can install one and properly connect it to your main circuits.
