Is is Time to Change to LED Lighting? | 480-926-1033

An electrician contractor is someone that you should rely on for any sort of electrical repairs or wiring upgrades.
As we covered previously,while it’s perfectly reasonable to get a second opinion, the one thing you cannot afford to do is ignore the recommendation of the electrician you have hired.

You May Want To Upgrade Your Wiring Even If There Aren’t Any Signs That There Is A Problem

Most of the time you'll probably want your home’s wiring repaired or upgraded is if there are signs that there is a problem. However, there may be times that you decide it’s in your best interest to upgrade your wiring even if there aren’t any obvious signs that there is a problem. Once such situation is if your home has legacy aluminum wiring.
Today, copper wiring is the industry standard for all electrical wiring. Unfortunately, in the past aluminum was a favored wiring material because it was cheaper than copper. Aluminum wiring has two problems, however.  For one aluminum  expands and contracts depending on the temperature, which can lead to frayed and exposed wires. Second, if someone patches your aluminum wiring with copper wiring, then you have a time bomb on your hand.  When aluminum and copper are mixed together, If you have aluminum wiring in your home, then you should probably strongly consider upgrading your wiring.

Make Sure That You Only Hire A Professional Electrician

Another scenario in which you may want to consider having your wiring upgraded even if there isn’t a pressing need is if you are upgrading a lot of the features in your home that are wired in. For example, if you are putting in new lighting, fans, and other fixtures throughout your home, it may be worth the additional expense to go ahead and upgrade your wiring while you are at it. While it will cost more to do this, it will save you money because you will be combining the process of upgrading your wiring and fixtures at the same time, which will save you on labor costs.
Electrical safety should always be the primary motivating factor that drives you if you are deciding to fix your wiring or upgrade your wiring. You need to be safe by having the job done the right way, and you also need to be safe by not attempting to do it yourself unless you are qualified. That means you need a qualified professional electrician contractor, that is licensed, bonded, and insured. Hiring anyone else that doesn’t meet these standards, or attempting the work yourself, could turn out to be a very costly mistake.
So be sure to do some research and take your time.  That way you know you've found the best electrician in Mesa.
