[ "What services does electrician provide ?Electrical services refer to any work that involves electricity. A contractor is responsible for making sure the wiring and devices in your home are safe. While most homeowners know they should be more involved with electrical work than simple maintenance, few understand what electrical services includeElectrical Services Northampton provides several different types of services: emergency repair, equipment upgrades, routine inspection and testing (maintenance), minor repairs such as replacing outlets or broken switches, major renovations including installing new circuits or rewiring an entire house, adding whole-house surge protection, etcHere for everyday electrical services:;Emergency Repair  In homes with ancient wiring, it is sometimes impossible to predict when an electrical short will occur. In many cases, a breaker that does not trip can indicate a wire or connection overheated and melted away insulation that no longer protects from the electrical current. An electrician must be called at once because fires can begin very quickly once insulation meltsEmergency repairs are often done at night after other people have gone to bed; as little time as possible should pass between detecting trouble and turning off the power. And while homeowners should take precautions against fires every day, emergency repairs should only be performed by those who understand all of the dangers associated with electricity. Before deciding if you should attempt to fix the problem yourself or call an electrician, you should know that many people have been killed while attempting home repairsEquipment Upgrades  Add Outlets Where they're needed when there is not enough plug-in capacity for all of your equipment (e.g., computer, refrigerator, DVD player), it's time to upgrade your electrical service panel. Upgrading an electrical service panel can be as simple as adding a circuit or it could require switching from a 60-amp panel to a 100-amp or more effective service. This type of work is usually done in conjunction with renovations and requires the skills of an electrician who is licensed and familiar with local building codesAfter performing emergency repairs, most homeowners do not further maintain their electrical system until problems arise again. Unfortunately, ignoring the problem will only allow things to continue unchecked until one day there's a fire, injury, or death caused by faulty wiringMinor Repairs  Replace switches & Outlets.Most homeowners do their light bulb replacement but don't realize that switches can fail too  usually due to heat and age. Switches should be replaced by a qualified electrician whenever they seem to be stuck in the 'on' position, as this is a fire hazardWhen replacing switches or outlets, it's important not to replace them with an inferior version. This means that switches and outlets must match the voltage of your home (i.e., 115 volts), and if you're connecting two wires (for example, both black wires connected to one switch terminal), then the size of wire used must be correct for that purpose.Simple Rewiring  Replace Outlets & SwitchesIf any circuit issues such as lights flicker, flickering ceiling fans, stereos that shut off when you plug in a vacuum cleaner or lamp into an outlet, etc., this type of simple rewiring will usually clear things up. Most people can do these types of repairs themselves because no special tools and little knowledge are required. However, if you need more than one new receptacle (outlet), it's best to call an electrician so they can determine the most effective solutionNew Wiring  Connect To Service PanelWhen more considerable additions, such as garages and rooms with high ceilings, are built onto a home without first connecting them to the home's electrical service panel, it puts everyone at risk for fires, shocks, and even electrocutions. An electrician can run new wiring from an existing power source in your yard or street to ensure every room is connected to your main breaker boxThese types of installations are usually done by professional electricians who have worked with different materials beforeConnecting To A SubpanelSome homes are wired with subpanels instead of Garden Lighting Northampton having full-fledged service panels. These smaller distribution boards don't contain as many circuit breakers as the main service panel, making them easier for homeowners to manage. The trouble is that these subpanels can't handle high-wattage appliances like ovens and clothes dryers, so an electrician will have to install new 200 amp or 100 amp service panels for you to use these larger appliances safely" ]
