Sherwood Forest Electrical Services

With many older and newly renovated homes, it’s especially important to make sure that your electrical system is working as it should to prevent the possibility of an electrical mishap. We have found that many older Sherwood Forest homes still rely on outdated wiring systems and electrical panels that are more likely to overheat and cause electrical damage or fires in your home than newer electrical systems. If you are considering renovation work that includes the installation of contemporary lighting or appliances, we recommend that you have your electrical system evaluated to ensure that it is up-to-code. Even what could seem like a small electrical malfunction like a flickering light or an outlet could lead to a major electrical emergency if gone unchecked.

Notice: If you are currently dealing with a sparking live wire, humming noise from your walls, or a fire caused by your electrical system, immediately call your electrical provider and ask them turn off your home’s electricity. Call the Sherwood Forest Fire Department via 9-1-1 dispatch to extinguish any fires before calling John Moore.

Your breaker panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Sometimes, it is also referred to as a distribution panel, electrical panel, or breaker box. Your breaker panel distributes all of the electricity to the appropriate appliance, light fixture, or outlet as you use them. Breaker panels also detect when unsafe amounts of electricity are being pulled from a specific appliance or outlet and shut power off to that area of the home. Older panels may not include this important safety feature, which is why you should check to see if your panel is outdated or has been recalled.

Like anything else, breaker boxes age. As time goes by, you may find that pests or frequent power surges have lead to a circuit malfunction. In some cases, either of these issues could even cause a fuse to explode within your breaker box. If you notice that a circuit won’t reset on your breaker panel or black marks on the panel itself, you should have your electrical panel inspected by a licensed electrician who can then make any necessary replacements. Even if you don’t notice any major issues, we recommend that you have your panel inspected every few years to ensure that your panel’s safety functions work as they should.
