Deck The Halls

The holiday season is almost here and now is the time to make sure your home is looking and performing its best. Bradley Mechanical offers many different electrical services to help you show off your home’s holiday cheer and do it safely. From indoor and outdoor lighting to electrical service upgrades, we can have your home ready for the holidays faster than a reindeer flies.

But before you start decking the halls with thousands of twinkling lights and other decorations, it’s a good idea to check over your electrical system and be sure it is adequately prepared for the additional usage.

Inspect Electrical Outlets

Plugging in many strands of lights means a higher demand for electricity and possible safety hazards. Over time electrical sockets can become worn out or faulty because of heavy use. Cracks or gaps can occur between the outlets and surrounding walls exposing wires and outlet covers can become cracked or loose making them potentially hazardous. Periodically inspecting the electrical outlets could avoid an electrical fire or electric shock.

Electrical Service Upgrades

Have you outgrown your home’s electrical system? Maybe you’ve been good this year and have gotten a new high-definition television, computer equipment or some other high-tech gadgets. If so you’re going to need some upgrades to expand your home’s electrical capacity and protect your hardware. Our professional technicians can gladly offer the following services:

• Computer cabling
• Dedicated computer circuits and surge protection
• Ground fault circuit interrupters
• New circuits
• New receptacles and switches
• Whole house surge protection

Replacing Old Fuse Panels

If your home still has a fuse panel it may be time to upgrade to a circuit breaker. It’s safer – circuit breakers allow more options for modern safety enhancements. It’s convenient – resetting a circuit breaker is much easier than replacing a fuse. It’s cheaper – replacing a fuse panel can actually lower your insurance premiums. Plus, circuit breakers allow more space in your electric panel so you can add more circuits to reducing overloading them. This means you’re less likely to overload a circuit when it comes time to hook up all of those twinkling lights.
