A key part of any home build, renovation, or remodeling is making sure your electrical systems are safe, up-to-date, and meet your needs. Residential electricians at Loveland Home Solutions provide comprehensive electrical wiring and installation services, including breaker replacements and panel upgrades. Here are three common questions about electrical services:
1. Do I Need to Upgrade My Electrical Panel?
Inefficient or old electrical panels often cause safety hazards when they are overloaded with new appliances that require more electricity than the panels can manage. Some signs of an outdated electrical panel include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, and a burning smell. Updating your panel helps improve energy efficiency and safety.
An electrical panel upgrade includes updating your home’s meter base and circuit board. Our experienced electricians help you determine which panel is best for your home based on your energy usage. The smallest 100-amp panel is sufficient for small-to-medium homes that use gas-powered appliances. Large 400-amp panels supply most residential power needs. We can also install whole-house surge protectors directly onto the electrical panel to protect your home from an electrical surge.
2. Do You Install Indoor and Outdoor Lighting?
Our electricians will install various light fixtures for both indoor and outdoor settings. Indoors, we install flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers, and track lighting fixtures. Pendants and chandeliers are often selected to enhance a room’s aesthetics, while flush mounts and track lighting are preferred for minimalism and functionality. Homeowners may prefer canless recessed lights, a type of flush mount because they are LED and energy efficient and can be installed almost anywhere.
Loveland Home Solutions offers high- and low-voltage landscape lighting. High-voltage systems are wired directly from your home’s electric supply, while low-voltage systems require installing a transformer. Our electrical services include a free consultation to help you determine the best lighting solution for your home.
3. Can You Integrate Smart Home Solutions?
Smart home integration adds convenience and energy savings benefits to your home. We partner with Virtual Home Services (VHS) to provide comprehensive smart lighting solutions. Wi-Fi network integrated light switches, automated dimming capabilities, and motion sensor technology make it easy to adapt your home’s lighting based on use, potentially reducing your energy bill.
