Electrical Inspection
Electrical Repairs
Do you know what kind of wiring you have in your home? Are you experiencing unexplained wiring problems? Are the lights flickering or does a fuse keep blowing? If your home was built before 1950, you may have what is known as knob and tube electrical wiring. If you do have knob and tube wiring in your house, you should consider replacing it immediately, as it is a fire hazard and no longer up to code according to Pittsburgh ordinances. When you decide it's time to replace your home's old outdated wiring, ensure a certified and properly licensed electrician like CW Electrical Services performs the electrical work.
In every kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, parlor, library, den, bedroom, or similar room or area of dwelling units, receptacle outlets shall be installed so that no point along the floor line in any wall space there is more than six feet, from an outlet in that space. This is to prevent the use of extension cords. Outlets are usually placed about 18 inches above floor level. Switches usually go about 48 inches from floor level. For convenience outlets each single receptacle in a single branch circuit is usually figured for 1.5 amps, duplex outlets for 3 amps in estimating total amperage for that circuit. Air conditioners should be on a single dedicated circuit.
Panel Upgrades
We are professional electricians offering a full range of electrical installation and repair services. Electrical services include but are not limited to service panel upgrades ( fuse box to breaker box), new wiring service and updating old knob and tube wiring, appliances, and more.
Circuit Breaker Replacement
Wiring Upgrades
Knob and tube wiring is no longer up to compliant to current electrical code. This outdated type of wiring is not only dangerous it will also may also make your home difficult to resell. Home inspectors are paid to investigate the electrical systems of existing and newly constructed homes for potential buyers. If they discover any existing knob and tube wiring you will likely be responsible to replace your electrical system before the new home owner can purchase your property. This can be embarrassing and may discourage a potential buyer. Plus, new wiring will also lower your current home insurance premiums. So make sure your wiring is up to code before you put your home on the market. Before making any wiring upgrades keep in mind that the Pittsburgh Zoning and Saftety Beareau require that all electrical installation are performed by a certified electrician who is also properly licensed in Pittsburgh.
