Rewiring

Rewiring a home involves replacing outdated or damaged electrical wiring to ensure safety, improve performance, and accommodate today’s higher power demands. The process begins with a thorough inspection of existing circuits and a detailed plan that adheres to local codes and regulations. Electricians then remove old cabling, install new wires, and upgrade panels, breakers, outlets, and switches. Modern wiring materials—such as copper conductors and grounded cables—help prevent overloads and reduce fire risk. Once the new system is in place, each circuit is tested for proper voltage, grounding, and insulation integrity. Professional rewiring not only brings your home up to current standards but also supports the seamless operation of contemporary appliances, smart-home devices, and high-speed internet, offering peace of mind and long-term reliability.

New Construction

Installing electrical systems in new construction ensures your home or building is safely and efficiently powered from the ground up. Beginning with the design phase, electricians collaborate with architects and builders to map out outlet locations, lighting, and load requirements according to code. They then run conduit and cable through framing, install breaker panels sized for anticipated demand, and set up circuits for general use, dedicated appliances, HVAC, and specialized systems like security or home automation. Fixtures, switches, and receptacles are mounted as walls go up, ensuring clean integration and minimal rework. Once all wiring is in place, each circuit undergoes rigorous testing for continuity, grounding, and load capacity before final inspections. Professional electrical installation in new construction delivers a future-proof infrastructure that seamlessly accommodates today’s technology and tomorrow’s upgrades.

Panel Change

Upgrading or changing out an electrical panel is a critical step in maintaining a safe, reliable power supply for your home. The process begins by assessing your current electrical load and selecting a panel with the appropriate amperage capacity—often moving from a 60‑amp or 100‑amp panel to 150‑amp or 200‑amp to accommodate modern demands. A licensed electrician first disconnects power at the meter, then carefully removes the old panel and its branch circuits. New bus bars, breakers, and grounding components are installed in the upgraded panel, and each existing circuit is reconnected or consolidated as needed. After wiring in any new dedicated circuits (for ranges, EV chargers, or air conditioning), the electrician tightens and labels each breaker, restores power, and performs thorough testing for proper voltage, grounding, and safety. A final inspection by the local authority confirms compliance with code. A professionally executed panel change ensures your electrical system can handle today’s high‑power appliances and provides headroom for future upgrades.

Subpanel

Installing a subpanel—also known as a sub-feed panel—is an effective way to extend your home’s electrical capacity to outbuildings, garages, workshops, or additional living spaces without overloading the main service panel. The process begins by selecting a subpanel with the appropriate amperage rating (commonly 60 A, 100 A, or 125 A) and ensuring its location meets code requirements for clearance and accessibility. A licensed electrician runs a feeder cable (appropriately sized copper conductors and a separate grounding conductor) from a dedicated breaker in the main panel to the subpanel. At the subpanel end, the feeder wires are landed on the panel’s main lugs or main breaker, and a separate grounding bar is installed and bonded to the panel enclosure. Individual branch circuits are then connected to the subpanel’s breakers, providing power to lights, outlets, and heavy‑load equipment as needed. Finally, the entire system is tested for proper voltage, grounding integrity, and correct breaker operation. Adding a subpanel not only distributes electrical loads more efficiently but also simplifies future expansions and localized circuit management.

Wafer Light Installation 

Installing wafer lights is a sleek, energy-efficient way to illuminate any room with a low-profile design. These ultra-thin LED fixtures fit neatly between ceiling joists or above drywall, often requiring only a small “halo” bracket that stays in place once the drywall is installed. To begin, an electrician cuts appropriately sized openings in the ceiling, secures the halo mounting ring, and routes low-voltage or line-voltage wiring from the power source. The wafer light fixture then clips directly into the ring without additional hardware, and a simple twist-lock or spring-clip mechanism holds it firmly in place. After wiring connections are made—often via quick-connect push-in terminals—the lights can be dimmed or controlled with compatible switches or smart-home systems. Finally, each light is tested for proper function and coverage. Wafer lights offer a modern, streamlined look, reducing ceiling clutter while delivering even, glare-free illumination and substantial energy savings over traditional recessed cans.
