ELEMENTS OF RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICAL REMODELING
Home Rewiring – You shouldn’t be dealing with electrical problems on a regular basis, but you might have exactly this problem if you live in an older house. Home rewiring is a residential electrical remodeling process that aims to improve the safety and efficiency of your electrical work. This is especially important to consider if you are thinking about conducting a home renovation.
Adding Circuits – Your residential electrician can also add new circuits to your space, including dedicated circuits. These heavy-duty circuits are designed to provide powerful appliances like dishwashers and washing machines with the electricity they need in order to function
Replacing Electrical Panel – The electrical panel is the mechanism you use to control your electricity, but older models might not be so effective anymore. Additionally, certain older homes might still have electrical panels that are no longer considered safe for the home. Your residential electrician can upgrade your panel to make your home electrical system safer and more effective.
Moving-Out Updates – If you are going to be moving out of your house in the near future, you can increase the value of your property by making certain changes. You can get any necessary residential electrical remodeling out of the way so the new buyer doesn’t have to worry about it, and this convenience can make it easier to sell your house. You can also have your residential electrician prepare the home for automation technology in case future occupants want to integrate their appliances.
WORKING WITH A LICENSED, INSURED, AND BONDED ELECTRICIAN
The last thing you want is to finish your remodel just to find out that your residential electrical work has not been done properly. Since you’ll want to cover all of your bases, make sure you work with the right type of residential electrician.
Electrical Panel Changes, Replacements, and Upgrades
Most electrical panel and/or service changes are done for two reasons:
The existing panel is too small either in Amps (main breaker size) or there is not enough physical room in the panel to add new circuits (load) needed for a remodel, upgrade, or expansion. If you do not have enough Amps in your panel, you will need to get a service change. If you have enough Amps but not enough physical room in your panel, you will need to get a panel change.
If the panel is one of two brands—Federal Pacific or Zinsco. These panels have lost their UL listing because they are known for the potential to cause fires. In 80% of the cases tested, the breakers won’t trip when needed, which is an obvious problem. If you have one of these panels, you should very seriously consider replacing it. Depending on the size of the Amps in the panel, you might also need to have a service change done.
