"We called Jason upon recommendation from our plumber, Cliff. We also called one other highly rated electrician who declined to help us since we had reached out to someone else for a quote. Jason called us back within 24 hours, scheduled a trip to our house the next week, and completed the work the week after. When he first called, we explained we would like to install a 50 Amp box for our travel trailer and attach it to the side of our shed. Jason was very knowledgeable about the wiring needed and explained the process in a professional and friendly manner. We told him we were considering digging the 80 foot trench ourselves and he said that was fine. When we mentioned that to the other electrician who returned our call a couple of days later, he was not happy with us trenching, telling us he had all the equipment to do it and didnâ t have time for us any way. Needless to say, we decided to let Jason and his assistant, Dean, do the trenching. We are so glad we did! - prompt, professional, gets the job done! A few hours in the morning, and it was done! Jason even fixed a couple of outlets in the house we were concerned about and added a GIF outlet near the new breaker box and 50 amp box at no additional charge. I went out and asked questions which Jason readily answered encouraging me to ask any question I had. There is no doubt we will have Jason come out again for any of our future electrical needs including wiring our 12x12 shed."
You will need a permit for any electrical work that involves installing or replacing wiring, moving or installing new fixtures, switches, or outlets, hardwiring appliances or HVAC equipment, installing subpanels, and upgrading electrical service. You typically don’t need a permit to have an electrician replace an existing light fixture or electrical box. You can always call your local building department to see if your project needs a permit, but a professional electrician will be able to tell you. In most cases, your professional will pull the permits for you.
Old electrical systems may have more problems than newer ones. In some cases, like if your home has aluminum wiring, it may be necessary to update your electrical system. You should also update your home’s wiring if it still has knob and tube wiring, which is considered dangerous by modern building standards. If that applies to you, get in touch with an electrical professional near you to obtain a quote.
Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.
A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:
Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.
Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.
Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.
Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.
If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.
Many ceiling fan-rated electrical boxes tend to be made of metal. However, some electrical boxes may also be made of heavy-duty plastic that is reinforced with metal support structures. It may also have an attachment that connects directly to a ceiling joist. If you are ever ensure, consult with a licensed professional to get their insight on best practices and whether the installation is a safe one.
