Electrical System Maintenance and Safety

Save Home Heat New Main Electrical PanelMost of us take for granted that the electrical components in our homes will work safely and on demand. And for good reason: Home electrical systems generally were installed by professionals using quality components. For the most part, they function reliably day in and day out, especially in homes built within the past twenty or thirty years.

That being said, older homes often have outdated electrical systems that lack safety features that are standard in modern construction. Some older homes were installed using aluminum wiring, or with electric service panels that may have safety issues or obsolete designs. Outlets and switches in older homes may not have been wired and grounded properly, and often they were placed in unsafe locations. Ungrounded outlets installed next to a bathroom or kitchen sink were not uncommon. Shocking!

Homes that may have started out wired safely, whether new or old, were sometimes ‘improved’ by weekend warriors. Most likely well-meaning and hardworking, but do you really feel comfortable that the guy ‘two homeowners ago’ might have done the electrical work when he remodeled the bathroom you now use?

Over the years, electrical codes have caught up with substandard equipment, and modern designs and construction practices now ensure a safer starting point. But even when installed correctly, electrical components can simply become worn, obsolete, or loosen over the years. Just like your car, your sprinkler system, or your furnace or AC system, your home’s electrical system needs a little TLC every now and again—both for your safety and your convenience.

Electrical System Maintenance and SafetyEven if your home electrical system is without fault, you may be interested in other services that might modernize your home or provide benefits you hadn’t considered.

For example, if you’ve been thinking about an electric car, but were uncertain as to how you’d charge it, a dedicated outlet can be installed conveniently to make the charging process user friendly. Or, if you have issues with ice jamming your gutters, especially for those that may live in the higher country, a heat tape system can be installed to minimize that annual battle with stalactites! We also install quality natural gas and propane fueled whole-home standby generators, for those times when the weather or other conditions take down your power.

And for one last plug, we can help set the mood for most any occasion with modifications to your lighting environment. Adding, relocating, enhancing – we can advise you on your lighting options and execute the solution! We can also recommend lighting systems that run most efficiently, helping to ease your monthly electrical footprint.

These are just a few examples of the electrical related improvements we can assist you with. Please see the bottom of this page for more ideas.

Electrical Service FAQs

What are signs that a home needs electrical repair?

Common signs that electrical repair may be needed include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, outlets or switches that stop working, buzzing sounds, burning odors, warm outlets, or other unusual electrical behavior.

When should an electrical panel or circuit breaker be repaired?

An electrical panel or circuit breaker should be inspected when breakers repeatedly trip, will not reset, feel unusually warm, show signs of damage, or cannot reliably support the home’s electrical demand. Depending on the condition of the equipment, repair or replacement may be recommended.

Can an electrician install new outlets and switches in a Boulder home?

Yes. New outlets and switches can be installed to replace outdated or damaged components, improve convenience, support remodeling projects, or provide electrical connections where they are needed throughout the home.

What electrical work may be needed when adding a hot tub?

A hot tub typically requires a properly sized dedicated electrical circuit and appropriate safety protection. An electrician can evaluate the home’s existing electrical capacity and complete the wiring and circuit installation required for the new equipment.

When should an electrical safety inspection be scheduled?

An electrical safety inspection is worth considering for an older home, before or after a major remodel, when purchasing a home, when electrical problems repeatedly occur, or when there are concerns about outdated wiring, panels, outlets, or other components.

What electrical upgrades can help modernize an older home?

Depending on the home, electrical upgrades may include panel and circuit breaker upgrades, updated wiring, grounded outlets, new switches and receptacles, surge protection, lighting improvements, EV charging equipment, and dedicated circuits for modern appliances.
