Frequently Asked Questions

Wire insulation breaks down from heat cycles, moisture, and age, creating fire risks and power issues. Knob and tube wiring especially lacks grounding protection and can't handle modern electrical loads safely.

Replace panels over 20 years old, when breakers trip frequently, or if you're adding major appliances. Modern panels handle today's electrical demands safely and prevent overloading that damages electronics.

Choosing a generator that's too small for your actual needs. We calculate your essential load requirements first, ensuring your generator can handle critical appliances, lights, and heating systems during extended outages.

New wiring eliminates fire hazards from deteriorated insulation, adds proper grounding for shock protection, and includes GFCI outlets in wet areas. Modern wire handles electrical loads without overheating or voltage drops.

Improperly installed chargers can overload circuits and create safety hazards. We assess your panel capacity, install dedicated circuits, and use proper electrical protection to ensure safe, fast charging without system damage.

Older panels often provide only 100 amps, insufficient for modern homes with heat pumps, EV chargers, and electronics. Upgrading to 200+ amp service prevents overloading and supports future electrical needs.

This old wiring lacks grounding, uses deteriorating cloth insulation, and can't handle modern electrical loads. Insurance companies often refuse coverage because it creates fire risks from overheating and electrical arcing.

Standby generators monitor utility power and automatically start within seconds of an outage. They keep essential systems running—heating, refrigeration, security, and medical equipment—protecting your family and property investment.

Professional landscape lighting typically adds 5-10% to property value while improving security and curb appeal. LED systems are energy-efficient and highlight architectural features that make your home stand out after dark.

Electrical mistakes can cause fires, electrocution, or code violations that affect insurance and resale value. Professional installation ensures safety, proper permitting, and warranty protection for your investment.
