ELECTRICAL WIRING CAUSES A THIRD OF ALL ELECTRICAL HOUSE FIRES.

• Is your breaker box over 30 years old?
• Do you have fuses instead of breakers?
• Is your panel warm or even hot to the touch?
  
• Do you have aluminum wiring?
  
• Is there obvious burn marks or sparking?
  
• Do you have a foul smell coming from your breaker box?
  
• Do you see any signs of rust or water damage?

IF YOU SAID YES TO ANY OF THE QUESTIONS ABOVE:

You need to have your electric panel inspected. S&S Electric has the experience and expertise to properly inspect your existing panel for potentially dangerous problems. If it is found that your electric panel needs replacement we will provide you with an estimate for a new, safe and reliable panel.

A service upgrade (Heavy-Up) is when more power is made available to your home. Your electrical service panel will be upgraded to a larger panel usually 200 amps. Your new panel will have a main breaker for safety. We will replace your outside service entrance cable this is the wire that brings the power into your home from the power company. Your grounding system will be upgraded to meet code this includes driving a grounding rod 8 foot into the ground and running a wire to your main water pipe. All circuits will be clearly marked so you will know what each breaker controls.

After our work is complete a county inspector will have to approve our work. We will set up the inspection at your convenience as someone will have to be home to let the inspector in to see our work. Once our work has been approved the power company will then be contacted to hook up the new wires on the outside of your home and remove the old wires. This is done at no cost to you.
