Rewiring
Your home's wiring may require an update to meet current electrical codes and safety requirements. This can be particularly important when buying or selling a home or when dealing with an insurance company.
Wiring issues that may need to be addressed can include old aluminum wiring, knob and tube wiring, poor installation jobs, and the existence of non-grounded two-pronged outlets.
Rewiring older systems can also reduce the occurrence of tripped breakers, electrical shocks and residential fires as well as enhancing the overall reliability of your electrical system.

Service Upgrades
The power requirements of today's homes typically exceed those of past generations and older homes are often deficient.
Modern appliances and electronic devices have increased the electrical requirements of the average residence two to three fold, and many homes with older wiring fail to provide an adequate power supply. This puts expensive equipment such as computers, cell phones and televisions at risk because of fluctuations in power.
Not only is an insufficient amperage level in your home a safety issue, but it can affect property values, insurance rates and your property's adherence to code regulations.

Generators
Make sure you are never caught by a black-out or service interruption again by installing a backup generator!
By integrating a generator directly into your home's existing electrical system, you can avoid the hassles associated with portables. With an automatic transfer switch, the generator will be constantly at the ready, sensing when utility power stops flowing for any reason and kicking in within seconds. When the power is back online, your home is automatically transferred back to utility power and the generator shuts itself off until the next time it is needed.
Oickle's Electrical can help you ensure you're never in the dark again by installing a power generator suited to your specific needs. Trust in our expertise for the safe and cost-effective installation, management and repair of your electrical systems.
