Electricity plays a vital role in our daily lives both in our homes and workplaces.  Electricity powers everything from our lights to appliances, heating/cooling systems, computers, and even our cars. It can be very frustrating and inconvenient when you have unexpected electrical problems occur in your home or workplace. Some people try to fix the electrical issues as soon as they occur in order to have the system back up and running within a short period of time.

But, if you do not have the tools or expertise to make the repairs safely and per code, you should leave the repairs to the professionals. Our personnel can diagnose and consult on various electrical issues as well as provide repairs. If the problem is more complex or outside the scope of our professional services, then we have quality relationships with area electrical specialists that we can refer you to in order to address your needs.

ELECTRICAL REPAIRS

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU:

FAULTY WIRING 

Wiring or connections in your premises that have been damaged by remodeling, rodents or is simply aged could lead to big problems if not repaired on time. Even though electrical sourced fires don’t occur as often as they once did (thanks to improved building codes), they can still occur due to aged/faulty wiring, improper connections or overloaded circuits. York’s Remodeling & Repairs personnel have the tools and skills to analyze electrical issues and make recommendations for repairs. NOTE: Handling faulty wiring or making repairs without the right skills, tools or training could lead to injuries or a fatality; so, please leave the electrical repairs to the professionals.

RECEPTACLES, LIGHT SWITCHES, & LIGHT FIXTURES

Most people do not give much thought about the receptacles, light switches or light fixtures in their homes unless there is a problem. Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) and other receptacles are essential in every home and business because we use them to power things such as the refrigerator, hair dryer and, of course, our computers. GFCI receptacles that trip continuously and general receptacles that are loose or broken pose a danger and need to be repaired/replaced immediately. Light switches that are loose, arc or simply don’t work need to be inspected and replaced as required in order to prevent accidents and inconvenience. Light fixtures not functioning correctly or just plain dated?  Give York’s a call today to discuss how we can help update your rooms with new fixtures. We also install or replace ceiling fans that have stopped working or look like they have been in the house for decades.

 SERVICE PANEL UPGRADES

If you have a house that does not seem like it has adequate electrical service (i.e. – small amperage panel, old fuse panel, etc.), please give us a call. In many cases, the electrical service from the power company’s transformer needs replaced as well as the home’s electrical distribution panel. This type of work requires obtaining a permit through the local building permit/inspection office and the work being completed by a licensed electrician or electrical specialist. York’s will be happy to consult with you on these matters and recommend one of their qualified electrical specialists to perform the work. NOTE: If your home or business has “aged” wire that is decades old or known as “knob & tube” wiring, then please contact us and we will be happy to recommend a local, qualified electrical specialist to help you with the replacement and upgrade of this type of wiring and/or related components.
