Comprehensive Electrical Service Change Out Services

Our electrical service change out covers a wide range of upgrades to ensure your system is up-to-date and fully compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Panel Upgrade

A panel upgrade is a crucial component of an electrical service change out. If your home has an outdated or undersized electrical panel, it may struggle to handle the increasing electrical loads of modern appliances and devices. Upgrading your electrical panel ensures that your home can safely accommodate new circuits, preventing overloads and reducing the risk of electrical fires.

Meter Replacement

As part of the electrical service change out, we may recommend a meter replacement if your existing meter is outdated or incompatible with your new electrical system. A new meter ensures accurate tracking of your electricity usage and is crucial for maintaining compliance with local utility requirements.

Wiring Upgrade

A wiring upgrade is often necessary when performing an electrical service change out. Over time, wiring can become damaged or outdated, leading to potential fire hazards or inefficiencies. Our electricians will inspect your current wiring and upgrade it as needed to ensure it meets current safety standards and can handle your home’s electrical demands.

Grounding System Installation

Proper grounding is vital for electrical safety. Our electrical service change out includes grounding system installation to protect your home from electrical shocks and prevent damage to your appliances. A well-installed grounding system directs any stray electrical currents safely into the earth, minimizing the risk of injury or fire.

Surge Protection Installation

Installing surge protection as part of your electrical service change out is essential for safeguarding your electronics and appliances from power surges. These surges can occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or other electrical issues. Our surge protection systems provide a reliable defense, extending the lifespan of your valuable electronics.

Circuit Breaker Replacement

Old or faulty circuit breakers can be a serious safety hazard. As part of our electrical service change out, we replace outdated circuit breakers with new, reliable models that provide better protection against electrical surges and short circuits. This upgrade is essential for maintaining a safe and efficient electrical system.

Electrical service change out involves several steps and considerations to ensure that a home's electrical system can handle modern power demands safely and efficiently. Here's a overview of what is typically involved:

Components of Electrical Service

An electrical service includes:

  • The service pipe (metal or PVC) that houses the wires.
  • The meter, which is provided by the power company.
  • The electrical panel, which contains breakers or fuses.
  • The grounding system, which may include ground rods and connections to water pipes.

Reasons for Upgrading

Upgrading electrical service is often necessary for several reasons:

  • Increased Power Demand: Modern homes use more electricity due to the proliferation of electric appliances and devices. Older systems, such as those with 60 or 100 amps, may not suffice.
  • Safety Concerns: Outdated systems can pose fire hazards due to overloaded circuits, buzzing panels, or frequent breaker trips.
  • Compliance with Code: Electrical codes evolve, and older systems may not meet current safety standards.

Steps in the Upgrade Process

  1. Assessment and Planning:
    • Determine the current service capacity and future needs, often requiring a consultation with a professional electrician.
    • Decide on the appropriate service size, typically 200 amps for modern homes.
  2. Permits and Regulations:
    • Obtain necessary permits from local authorities.
    • Coordinate with the utility company for disconnection and reconnection of power.
  3. Power Disconnection:
    • The utility company disconnects the power supply to allow safe work on the electrical system.
  4. Installation:
    • Remove the old panel and install a new 200-amp panel.
    • Upgrade wiring, meter socket, and grounding system as needed.
  5. Inspection:
    • A thorough inspection is conducted to ensure all work complies with electrical codes and standards.
  6. Reconnection:
    • After passing inspection, the utility company reconnects the power supply.

Overall, upgrading electrical service is a complex task that requires careful planning and execution by qualified professionals to ensure safety and compliance with current standards.
