Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans are an excellent addition to virtually any room in your home. They come in many different size and styles and provide improved air movement at a reasonable cost. Because they create a breeze that translates into a cooling effect on your skin, you can typically increase the thermostat setting a few degrees and save money on your energy costs.

Circuits and Wiring

There are a variety of critical components in the electrical panel, among them the circuit breakers. All circuit breakers are sized according to the appliances or outlets that are being powered. Large appliances like those in your kitchen use heavy wires and a 30- or 50-amp breaker. If you have an older home, it would be wise to have your system checked as electrical standards have changed substantially in the last few decades. As home needs have changed, so has wiring and circuits. An outdated system can be dangerous. Call us for a home inspection.

Dedicated Circuits

Dedicated circuits are typically used for appliances that contain a motor, such as clothes washers and dryers, ovens, ranges, refrigerators, water heaters and anything else that uses a three- or four-prong receptacle and heavy-gauge wires. If you need electrical upgrades to be up to code, our electricians will secure any needed permits and completed the upgrade project safely.

Emergency Charleston Electrical Services

There are signs of a need for emergency electrical services. These signs include burning smells, soot around outlets, faulty light switches, sparks or electrical crackling noises, or sudden shocks from outlets or switches. Any of these signs indicate that an electrician should be called right away. What appears to be a small problem, could cause a house fire that starts inside a wall. Your first step would be to turn off the main circuit breaker box, and then call us right away. Never try to fix these problems yourself.

Lighting Installation

Lighting inside your home can make a huge difference in its livability. Updating your home is easy with task lighting or spotlights in the kitchen or living room. Recessed lighting, chandeliers, pendants, sconces, dimmers, LED light strips and even connected smart switches all add value to your home and improve the ambiance.

Outdoor motion-detection lighting can alert you to suspicious activity, and landscape lighting can enhance gardens, walkways, the front elevation of your home plus much more.

Surge Protection

In less than a second, an electrical surge can damage appliances, computers and other electronics, even those plugged into power strips only block energy spikes. Depending on your homeowner’s policy, these damages may or may not be covered. A whole-home surge protector protects every outlet, circuit and major appliance in your home, providing peace of mind that everything is safeguarded for a minimal cost.

Electrical Services for Building Protection

Today’s residential electrical systems are safer than ever thanks to new fault detection systems and revised code requirements. For example, outlets in damp locations, such as covered porches, bathrooms, and laundry areas, should always have GFCIs. Bedrooms and living areas in new houses now require arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) for added protection.
