Electrical Changes and Upgrades for Residential

Home Electrical Inspection Report

With the large number of old houses here in Victoria BC, homeowners want to know that their electrical and wiring is all up to date. At CBS Electric, we have qualified electricians who carry out electrical changes and upgrades in a smooth and professional manner with our licensed electrician.

It’s important to have your electrical system inspected over time, in order to help keep your home safe. It also helps to ensure that you’re running enough power to meet your household’s needs and to see if you require any upgrades.

Before technology became what it is today, homes ran about 60 amps of electricity. However in recent decades, there have been huge increases in the amount of electricity used in our homes. As the use of technology grows, so does the need for more power in order to run things like heating and air conditioning units, flat screen TVs, and new hi-tech appliances. As a result, today’s households can require up to 200 amps of electricity in order to handle the everyday usage of electricity.

There can be signs that a system might need to be upgraded like a electric panel upgrade. They can include things like blowing fuses, corrosion from moisture damage, and outdated technology around the home. The service panel often needs to be upgraded in older homes to increase the amount of electricity flowing through it. This needs to happen before a new wiring project can be added.

Call CBS Electric for the service changes or upgrades you may be looking for. Our qualified and licensed electricians will make sure that the job is done properly, safely, and meets the requirements of electrical and building codes.
