Main Service Panels
Your Main Service Panel is the most important device of your home. Without a properly working electrical panel, your home cannot function correctly. Many electricians will tell you that your electrical panel is the heart of your home. This is because it creates a flow of electricity that goes out into your home and comes back into your panel. Just like the human heart.
For this reason, older electrical panels pose a huge danger to home owners. Older homes rely on electrical wiring and panel components that can be out-dated and inefficient.
If you are concerned about your main service panel and whether it could be outdated, give us a call and a licensed electrician will stop by and make sure your home is safe.
Grounding your Home
In an electrical circuit, there is what’s known as an active wire, which supplies the power, and a neutral wire, which carries that current back. Within electrical circuits, a ‘grounding wire’ can also be attached to outlets and other electrical devices and also securely connected to the ground at the breaker box.
This ground wire is an additional path for an electrical current to return safely to the ground without danger to anyone in the event of a short circuit. If a short circuit did occur, the current would flow through the ground wire, causing a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker – an outcome much more preferable than the fatal shock that could result if the current was not grounded.

New Construction
Electrical wiring within your home has an average lifespan of 20 years, and although this may sound a lot, it is unbelievably easy to forget. Just like anything else in your home your electrical needs maintenance.
After 20 years, natural conditions can cause the wiring or its insulation to deteriorate, which can present a danger. In addition to these issues, some homes that were built in the 60s and 70s contain aluminum wiring, which is now considered to be a potential hazard because it can overheat and even start a fire. For these reasons, rewiring your home is the number one way to ensure your home is safe.
