Properties this old are typically in need of upgrades to meet today’s current electric requirements. This is a situation where you will need to upgrade your electrical system for safety and reliability.

If your property is an older one, it’s a good idea to get your electrical system looked at and upgraded if necessary. In an older home, some of the home’s electrical system could potentially become a fire hazard. The team of professionals at Belasco Electric are here to help upgrade your electrical system so you have peace of mind.

It’s not just older properties that should have their systems looked at.

The Process of Upgrading Your Electrical System

As professionals in the electric industry with years of experience, we provide a wide array of updates for your electrical system. For safety and quality reasons, we approach all projects by starting with a comprehensive inspection. The inspection lets us know the extent of the electrical upgrades that will be required.

Most upgrading projects we handle include electrical service for homes up to 200 amps, which is the standard option in most cases. However, if required, our electricians may install an electrical panel upgrade of 400 amps or higher. Therefore, clients should connect with our electricians and discuss their specific electrical needs with us in detail.

We may also consider replacing electrical services within the house. Replacements may include the following:
  • Weather head
  • Meter base
  • Load side entrance cable
  • Line side service
  • Grounding and bonding system
  • Entrance cable
  • Electric panel itself
  • Weather head
  • Meter base
  • Load side entrance cable
  • Line side service
  • Grounding and bonding system
  • Entrance cable
  • Electric panel itself

However, our professionals may upgrade the electrical meter and the new electric panel systems within their original locations. It applies to cases where the house layout doesn’t change much over the years. It can also help us provide a more precise quote for our clients. All they have to do is connect with us, and we will meet their needs.

If the general layout hasn’t changed much over the years, electric meters and panel systems don’t need to be moved. Sometimes, we may need to relocate the meter or the electric panel if the property design has changed. It is all in the best interest of safety, which is a top priority for our team at Belasco Electric.
