Now is the time to upgrade your home's circuitry to ensure that your home has the capacity to support your electrical needs without the risk of a fire. We strictly adhere to, and comply with the local and national electrical codes as spelled out by the National Electrical Code (NEC), and published by the U.S. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70). Our residential electrical services team ensures that all home wiring is performed correctly and will meet all code requirements. For your safety, only use a licensed electrician.

Depending on when your residence was built, the electrical wiring in your home may be aluminum instead of the copper wiring used across the industry since the mid 1970's. Aluminum wiring is known to pose a fire risk, and you need to have your home re-wired if this is the case. At Amps & Volts Electric, our goals is to keep your home safe, provide excellent customer service and finish your project on time and on budget. It is important to update and maintain electrical wiring for safety reasons as well as to ensure the efficiency of the electrical system.

Alternative Electric Power is a division of Amps & Volts Electric Inc., dedicated to alternative power sources including Generators and Solar Panels. We are anticipating the addition of wind power systems, and fuel cells as they become viable. Severe weather can strike at any time, and leave homeowners without power for many hours or even days. We mainly only think about power when the service has been disrupted or when we hear of severe weather alerts. Savvy home and home based business owners know that when outages occur, that it is usually hugely disruptive and the costs of downed work time, refrigerated food, and medicines can run into hundreds or even thousands of dollars per occurrence.

Your home is most likely filled with sensitive electronics that are easily damaged by common power surges, spikes or voltage impulses. A lightning storm can deliver a high energy electrical surge that can enter a home and destroy appliances, televisions, stereo equipment, and other electrical products. Do not underestimate an unchecked high voltage surge that can wipe out your investment instantly, or even the smaller everyday surges that can degrade the electronic components in your home slowly over time.

If you live in an older home or you have just moved into a new home, you want to ensure that you, your family, and all of your belongings remain safe. Our detailed electrical inspection covers every electrical component in your entire home. We check the wattage of your light bulbs, outlet and switch operation, circuit breakers, grounding systems, surge protection, HVAC system electrical components, smoke and CO detectors, electrical panel, and any outdoor electrical systems. The federal government has issued a caution about Federal Pacific, Zinsco and Sylvania electric panels to homeowners, electricians, home inspectors, and real estate agents.

Don't underestimate the value of a smoke detector. When it comes to a house fire, your life may depend on it. You only have minutes to escape a house fire. It is a known fact that working smoke alarms save lives. More than 2,200 people die each year because of unintentional home fires. Almost two-thirds of these fire deaths occur in homes with smoke alarms that don't work or don't have any smoke detectors installed in their home. A smoke alarm's warning can cut the risk of dying from a fire in your home by almost half.
