Residential Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
If you notice electrical outages in some rooms of your house, lights dimming, light switches or receptacles not working, smoke detectors chirping, then you need a licensed electrician experienced in troubleshooting, to find the cause of these problems and repair them right away.
These common issues can cause further damage and compromise safety if not repaired. Call the experts at Hurley Electric for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
Electrical Service Panel Upgrades
Adding new electrical appliances, hot tub or central air conditioning, or are the breakers of your electrical panel tripping frequently? You may need to replace or upgrade your electrical panel. Call Hurley Electric for a consultation with cost-effective solutions.
Fuses to Breakers
Many years ago, houses were wired into a fuse box and as a safety measure, the fuse would “blow” to prevent a circuit from overloading, heating up causing a potential fire risk. Technology has greatly improved since then, and the new code requires circuit breaker panels which provide more safety. If you still have fuses, call Hurley Electric to discuss the conversion to breakers and bring your system up to code.
Exterior, Parking Lot, and Security Lighting
Exterior lighting is essential for safety but also enhances the beauty of your property. Bucket truck services are available to provide new parking lot lighting, security lighting, and repair. We can also explore the benefits of automatic sensors, motion detector lighting, time clock lighting controls, and landscape lighting.
During the holidays, save yourself some work and let Hurley Electric install and hang those exterior Christmas lights while you take care of decorating the tree.
Knob and Tube Wiring
If your home was built prior to 1950, it is likely your house is wired with what is known as knob and tubing wiring. This is cloth insulated wiring. As it ages, it dries out and deteriorates exposing the bare wire, which could cause the possibility of shocks and even worse fires. This wire has earned the nickname in the field as “fire wire”. Grounding of the electrical service is paramount for safety however the knob and tubing system does not have a grounding system. Property insurance companies are now inspecting the wiring of older homes and will require a licensed electrician to update the wiring to code to continue coverage. Hurley Electric provides electrical inspections to assess old wiring and will replace it with new wiring and bring your system up today’s standards as required to ensure safety.
