If you have inherited or recently purchased an older home, you are probably concerned about the condition of the electrical wiring. Wiring from decades past was considered safe then, but nowadays, with advancements and experience, we know that there are better ways. Home fires started by faulty electrical wiring are preventable. All it takes is an experienced electrician in Los Angeles to complete a home wiring inspection.

Homeowners can rely on The Electric Connection to perform a thorough inspection and identify any problem areas. Although it is rare, there are times when a home will need to be rewired to meet newer building codes. This may include replace the existing wiring, especially if it is cloth, or simply changing out the outlets. A rewire also gives you the chance to have more outlets installed or moved to more convenient places. Technology today tends to demand homes have more available outlets.

Electrical panels may also need to be changed out and upgraded to the newer and safer kind. This is beneficial to you and can actually provide the home with the power you need. If you have noticed breakers popping or tripping, it is highly likely you need an electrical panel upgrade. Another indication is the appearance of melted wires, which can cause sparks and ultimately, fires.

If you are unsure what qualifies as an older home, it typically encompasses homes built before 1950. It is important to point out many homes have been renovated and may have already gone through an upgrade. It is always a good idea to be safe than sorry. If you have any concerns about the wiring in your home, please call an electrician. Los Angeles residents can call the staff at The Electric Connection who are reliable and well-trained. Give us a call today and we can set up an appointment to give you the peace of mind you deserve.

Let’s face it; while working for yourself can be an amazing experience, owning your own business can come with a ton of unsightly costs you may not have been anticipating. One of those may be energy costs for lighting and illuminating your building. This day and age, lighting can account for up to 35% of a business’s energy costs which can be a huge impact on your profit. So what are some ways you can help cut down on this expensive expenditure?

When the doors to your home stick, they could be trying to tell you that your home’s  foundation is shifting. If your HVAC system makes funny sounds, it’s begging to be serviced. But what about your electrical system? Outside of an electrical house fire, how does your house try to tell you that it’s in need of some tender love and care by a certified electrician? If you answer yes to any of the following questions, your house is trying to tell you to call an electrician today.

One sign that you should immediately call an electrician is if your circuit breakers are tripping on a regular basis or if you reset the breaker and it re-trips. This is a sign of a bigger electrical system problem that will need the expertise of a certified electrician to diagnosis and remedy.

If your lights flicker often, then there may be a bigger electrical problem with your home. Yes, it is possible that the power grid is being temperamental but it’s far more likely to be something with the wiring in the home. Perhaps even a pesky rodent chewing on wires in the wall leaving you open to a fire hazard.

Much like when you burn food in the oven, a burning smell is definitely a problem. If you cannot pin-point the burning smell to a ruined dinner or lit candle, then you might want to consider contacting an electrician because it could be your outlets or wiring system.

Call us today if you suspect that your home is making a plea for electrical help.
