West Lake Hills Electrical Installation
Your home’s electrical system has many different components. From the main power supply going into your panel box to each individual circuit breaker powering the various appliances and outlets throughout your home, it can be crazy to think about everything that makes up your electrical system. While your electrical system may be big, it doesn’t hurt to make it even bigger.
In fact, there are several reasons that you may need to call us for professional electrical installation services for your home.
- Add amperage
- EV charging station
- Whole-home generator
- Whole-home surge protection
Probably one of the most common reasons people need electrical installation is that they want to have more power going to their homes. Many older homes only have 60- to 100-amp power going to them. This amperage simply isn’t enough to meet our modern-day demands. If you live in an older home, you’ll likely need to upgrade your electrical service to 200 amps. This upgrade can allow you to add additional outlets, appliances, and so forth without overdrawing power.
With electric cars becoming more and more common, you may just consider getting one. If you do, it’s an absolute necessity to have a way to charge your new electric car. Getting a home EV charging station can be a great way to safely charge your new electric vehicle from the comfort of your own home. New studies even show that longer, overnight charging at a lower power can extend the overall lifespan of your electric car’s battery.
When a nasty storm comes rolling through your area and knocks out your power, it can be extremely frustrating. Not only are you left without lighting, your many electrical devices, and your HVAC system, but you also have to worry about the longevity of the food in your refrigerator and freezer. One great way to prevent this problem is to get a whole-home generator. This system will power all of the components of your home when your electricity goes out. They typically run on gas or oil.
One other problem that can happen during those nasty storms is a power surge. This allows too much power to run through your wiring and can cause permanent damage to anything you have plugged into the affected outlets, including televisions and computers. One of the best ways to help protect your electronics is to have a whole-home surge protection device.
