ELECTRICAL & GENERATOR SERVICES IN BOCA RATON

Lighting Fixture Installation

The right kind of lighting fixtures are essential for completing any room, whether it be in your Boca Raton-based business or your residence in Boca Raton. Finding a qualified Boca Raton electrician to perform this job in a professional manner is important for your safety. A state-certified and licensed electrician starts work by checking the voltage with a voltage detector. This device tests the presence of electricity in a piece of equipment. Next, using a wire bolt cutter, the electrician shortens screws without ruining or stripping the threads. Afterward, the electrician extends short wires with an extra wire connected stab-in that needs to be the correct size in order to work safely and correctly. A box extender will then be placed over the old box behind the wall’s surface. This is common when a layer of wood or drywall has been installed over the original ceiling. The electrician then bends a scrap of wire to support the fixture as the device is being installed. A screw is then aligned with a thin screwdriver to hold the fixture’s canopy in place.

Electrical Wiring Installation and Maintenance

The process of installing electrical wiring should be performed by state-licensed and certified electricians as this involves cabling and is associated with technical devices such as switches, distribution boards, and lighting fittings in a structure. In most modern homes, non-metallic wiring is used to wire a home. The wires are wrapped inside a plastic sheathing for safety and ease of installation. A knowledgeable and experienced electrician knows that proper wire size is essential to any electrical wire installation. The correct size of the wire will indicate the diameter of the metal (which is a measurement based on the American Wire Gauge system as established by the ASTM). Wiring acts as the nervous system of your home; electrical wiring is used to run many appliances and fixtures in a household and allows systems to run efficiently. Extension cords, cooktops, light fixtures, and lamp cords all use a certain type of wire gauge and allows these devices to function properly. A trained, licensed, and certified electrician can properly and safely install electrical wiring your Boca Raton home or Boca Raton-based business.

Electrical Panel Replacements and Upgrades

Electrical panels are important to upgrade or replace in a home, especially older homes as these often have electrical panels that are outdated and not up to code standards. Electrical panels come in various sizes measured in ampere or amp capacities. (An ampere, or amp, is a practical meter-kilogram-second unit of electric current.) Although replacing or upgrading electrical panels is considered an expensive job, this should be done as a part of regularly scheduled electrical system maintenance — more importantly if you purchase an older Boca Raton residence. If a panel is old and is made with outdated materials, these devices can pose a fire hazard and a significant risk to your loved ones and your property.
