You may want to consider upgrading your electric panel to today’s code. JQ Electric understands that people consume more electricity now than ever before. During the building process of a home, the lifestyle considerations of that era determine the electrical installation needs. Owning a quaint, decades, or century-old home comes with some issues. At some point, you’ll need to consider having all your electrical work brought up to code.
One of the downsides to the electric system in your home is you can’t see it. Especially in an older home, there could be damage from rodents or deterioration due to old age. Call JQ Electric for a thorough whole-house electrical inspection. You may need to upgrade your electric system, not only for code but for your safety. It’s an expensive, dirty, and intrusive job, but the many benefits outweigh the cost and inconvenience.
Upgrading Your Electrical Panel Save You Money
When upgrading your home’s electricity, you significantly reduce the fire risk. Insurance companies like that so much that they may substantially lower your homeowner’s insurance. Often we’re not given a choice. But, regardless of your reasons for upgrading your electrical system, your home will be safer. If you are a die-hard DIY person, leave this to the professionals. Improperly installed wiring can cause fires or worse. In addition, problems caused by work done by an unlicensed homeowner won’t have coverage through your insurance policy.
Rewiring Your Home’s Electrical
If you are considering upgrading your electrical panel, ask Johnny at JQ Electric for professional recommendations. Johnny’s inspection can let you know if you have urgent issues and what could make your life more convenient. Our electrical needs increase year after year. Everything seems to need charging. Exceeding the capacity of your electrical system can result in disaster.
Reasonable Electrical Upgrades
When you look at that old kitchen lamp and cringe, you know it’s time for an upgrade. Function and safety are the most important reasons for electrical upgrades. However, don’t discount your desire for something fresh to liven up your living space. Upgrade your lighting. Add some dimmers for some ambiance. While you’re at it, have JQ Electric install GFCIs anywhere necessary for a code upgrade. GFCI is the acronym for ground fault circuit interrupter. They are vital in basements, kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere appliances can come in contact with water. They significantly reduce electrical hazard risks. Newer homes will already have them, but they didn’t exist when they built older houses.
Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
Do your lights flicker when a large appliance starts its cycle? Does your circuit breaker trip regularly when household activities center around electronics?
