Panel Upgrades

When was the last time you upgraded your electrical panel? It’s responsible for ensuring your home has a steady electricity flow, so having an updated system ensures you get rid of flickering lights, tripping breakers, blowing fuses, and other problems.

Older panels weren’t designed to handle modern appliances, so if you’re experiencing any of the issues we mentioned above, your panel is likely responsible. When you upgrade your panel, you’ll ensure your system can meet your home’s electrical demands without posing any risks to you or your family.

One of the main benefits of upgrading your electrical panel is that it improves energy efficiency. When you get a modern panel, you may also expect lower utility bills, depending on what your electrical usage is.

If you’re planning to sell your property in the future, upgrading its electrical panel is an excellent idea to increase its value.

Most potential buyers consider a home’s reliability and safety before investing. If you show that your home has a newer panel, you will give them peace of mind, which could result in a faster sale and a higher return on investment.

Overall, upgrading your panel ensures everyone at home stays safe while keeping your energy efficiency in check. If you’re wondering whether you should get a new panel, get in touch with our team.

Knob and Tube Replacements

If your home was built during the 1950s or before, you likely have knob and tube wiring. Unfortunately, this is an outdated electrical system that could easily become a safety hazard today.

Knob and tube systems were designed to handle fewer electrical devices, so trying to fit modern appliances only sets up many risks.

Simply put, this system comes with cloth-covered wires that run through ceramic tubes. The tubes themselves get supported by porcelain knobs. Due to the nature of this system, it can easily degrade and become brittle, which can lead to a higher risk of an electrical fire.

Moreover, this wiring system isn’t grounded, which means that it lacks the features that protect you and your family against electrical shocks.

If you suspect you have a knob and tube system, you should consider replacing it as soon as possible. At Tactical Electric, we know how to get you a newer wiring system that protects you from everything mentioned. This includes installing grounded wiring, which makes your home much safer.

Since knob and tube systems are older and pose a higher risk for people today, they could become a problem when requesting an insurance quote. Most companies consider these wiring systems too dangerous, so you could end up with a high premium (or denied coverage).

Thankfully, replacing the system could help you reduce those insurance costs. Additionally, a newer wiring plan can also make your property more attractive to potential buyers. If you want to increase your home’s marketability and value, you should replace your knob and tube system.
