Electrical Service Upgrades for
Wakefield MA
An
Electric Service Upgrade is a
Complex Job, one that needs to be
completed by a qualified
electrician. Many people in
Wakefield MA and other surrounding
regions live in homes that were built
more than 35 years ago, which means
that many of these homes in
Wakefield MA have
electrical systems that were not
built to handle today's electrical
needs. This makes an electric
service upgrade not only desirable,
but a safety necessity. An obsolete
home electrical system in Wakefield
MA trying to
handle modern electricity needs is
not just inconvenient for home
owners who constantly struggle with
flickering lights, tripping breakers
and too few outlets for too many
modern appliances—it can be
downright dangerous. Electrical
fires account for almost half of the
home fires in the United States in
any given year, which adds up to
over 26,000 fires, $1 billion in
property loss, as well as hundreds
of people killed and thousands
injured.
An electric service upgrade to
increase the amount of power coming
into the house is a big job that
requires professional help from an
experienced team of electricians.

Contracting right away if any of the
following apply to your home in

The electric panel overheats
You have to use a lot of
extension cords, or don't have
enough outlets to power all of
your appliances.
Your home has several
two-pronged outlets (3-pronged
GFCI, or "Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter outlets are required
in new homes as they protect
people from getting shocked).
You have recently installed
air conditioners, heat pumps, or
any other large appliance that
draws a lot of electricity.
You have added a new office,
workshop, finished basement or
other areas to your home.
What an Electric Service Upgrade
for Wakefield MA Involves: A
complete electrical service upgrade
to your home in Wakefield MA is a complex job that,
for safety and quality reasons,
requires an experienced electrician.
It usually involves upgrading
electrical service in the home to
200 amps, which is the standard in
today's homes. In some cases,
however, an upgrade to 400 amps or
more may be necessary.
An electric service upgrade normally
involves the complete replacement of
electrical service around the house.
This includes the line side service
entrance cable, meter base, weather
head, load side service entrance
cable, the grounding and bonding
system, and, of course, the electric
panel itself. Sometimes, we are able
to update the electrical meter and
the new electric panel in their
original locations, if the layout of
the house has not changed much over
the years. This situation is
generally easier and costs less.
Call our expert electricians today
if you suspect that your home in
Wakefield MA needs
a full electrical service or
electrical panel upgrade. Your
safety is our top priority!
