Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system.

Over time, however, panels can become outdated or worn out. Recognizing the need for a panel replacement is vital. That's where the expertise of Choice Electric comes into play.

GFCI, or GFI outlets are essential for protecting against electrical shock in moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. These outlets are designed with built-in circuit breakers that automatically shut off power when a ground fault is detected. We can install or replace GFCI outlets to help bring your home up to code and add an extra layer of protection for your family and property.

In our digitally interconnected age, the smooth functioning of electrical appliances and systems is paramount. Unexpected electrical surges can compromise the integrity of these systems, leading to significant damage and potential data loss. In such a landscape, surge protection is a non-negotiable for modern homes.

In a world that relies heavily on uninterrupted power, backup generators play a pivotal role. However, the transfer switch is the unsung hero, ensuring a smooth transition between your main power source and the generator. Ensuring it's correctly installed, maintained, and replaced when necessary, can make all the difference during power outages.

Yes, Zinsco electrical panels should be replaced because they have a dangerous design flaw where breakers can fail to trip during an electrical overload or short circuit, which poses a significant fire hazard. These panels are obsolete and no longer meet safety standards, and the breakers are known to melt to the bus bar, making them unserviceable. Some insurance companies may refuse to insure homes with Zinsco panels, and a home inspector may fail a property with one due to the safety risks.
In one word — yes. Federal Pacific panels are considered one of the most dangerous types of electrical panels ever installed in residential homes. Studies have shown that about 25–30% of their breakers may not trip during an overload, which increases the risk of an electrical fire or electrocution. Many mortgage companies and insurance providers consider these panels a significant risk and may refuse to approve loans or insurance for homes that have them until they are replaced.
Electricity is a powerful force that can pose significant risks if not managed appropriately. Undertaking electrical work independently can lead to serious safety hazards and potential legal repercussions if issues arise. For this reason, it is advisable to engage a professional electrical contractor for any electrical projects. Our electricians are highly trained and experienced, and they stay current with all relevant codes and regulations. This commitment ensures that your electrical work is performed safely and accurately, providing you with peace of mind.
A ground fault circuit interrupter and a ground fault interrupter (GFI) are the same thing. While GFCI is more commonly used, the terms are interchangeable.
A GFCI outlet differs from a standard outlet in that it has a test and reset button built into the faceplate. Usually, one button is red and the other is black, but not always. Built-in sensors monitor the amount of electricity flowing through the wire.
A standard outlet can’t be turned into a GFCI, but you can replace almost any outlet with one. If correctly wired, a ground fault circuit interrupter will protect downstream outlets and shut them off if there’s a surge or ground fault.
It’s recommended to have your home’s electrical system inspected every 3 to 5 years, or sooner if you notice any issues like flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outdated wiring. Inspections are especially important when buying a new home, after major renovations, or if your home is over 25 years old. Regular inspections help identify potential hazards early, ensure code compliance, and keep your electrical system safe and reliable.
Our inspections ensure your home complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and is free from potential hazards like shock or fire. Key areas we examine include:
* Meter: Verifying secure installation and checking for rust or defects.
* Wiring: Inspecting for damaged, unprotected, or frayed wires.
* Wire Type: Ensuring the correct type of wiring is in use.
* Electrical Panel: Checking for proper-sized breakers, load capacity, and signs of corrosion or damage.
* Junction Boxes: Confirming accessibility, visibility, and proper coverage.
* Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): Ensuring they function correctly.
* Outlets: Testing for safety and secure switch plates.
* Grounding: Verifying proper grounding of the electrical system.
Yes, whole house surge protectors work to protect your home's electrical system from power surges by diverting excess voltage to the ground before it can damage sensitive electronics. While they offer a high level of protection, especially against internal surges and smaller external ones, they are not a substitute for lightning protection and a layered defense is still recommended.
Yes, LED technology is generally considered better than older lighting like incandescent and fluorescent for its superior energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and environmental benefits. LEDs are also more durable, can have better performance in dimming, and produce less heat.
