Title: Electrical Services - From Outlets to Overhauls


1
Electrical Services - From Outlets to Overhauls
  • Bay Electric San Francisco

  • A "line" electrical contractor manages the
    high-voltage transmission and distribution lines
    that deliver electricity from a power plant to
    buildings or homes. They are responsible for all
    outdoor lighting and substations.
  • Electricians are able to design large-scale
    projects in ways that help them flow cohesively
    and efficiently, saving time and money for their
    clients. This is a key benefit to hiring them.

Shore Power Repairs
  • Shore power provides a safe, reliable and
    affordable way for ships to draw energy when
    docked. It eliminates the need to operate
    generators when a ship is in port, which can lead
    to local noise and air pollution and contribute
    to global climate driving emissions.
  • The most Electrical Contractors related to shore
    power result from improper connection or
    disconnection of the cord and boat connectors.
    Corroded or bent shore power cord and boat
    connectors cause high resistance, overheating and
    equipment failure.
  • To prevent this, it is important to always
    completely shut off equipment via the appropriate
    switch on the device and then shut off the
    breaker. It also helps to use an AC non-contact
    meter to verify there is no current at the
    receptacle where the shore cord plugs in and in
    the pedestal (house) breaker when connected and
    unplugged. Having a professional perform these
    simple checks can help avoid expensive and
    disruptive power problems down the road.

Home Wiring Updates
  • Unlike other electrical work, home wiring is
    hidden behind the walls. However, it is still
    responsible for lighting your house, powering
    your microwave and electric stove, running the
    air conditioner and much more. It also has the
    unique responsibility of protecting you and your
    family from fires caused by overheating or faulty
    wires.
  • Your houses original wiring may be outdated,
    especially if your home is over 40 years old. The
    current demands of your household require a
    greater amount of electricity than older houses
    were built to handle, which can overload wires
    and cause them to heat up, break down or become
    exposed.
  • Getting modern wiring can save you money on
    utility bills and reduce the risk of blown fuses,
    tripped breakers and residential fires. It may
    even add value to your home. A licensed
    electrician can perform a whole-house rewire,
    upgrading your service panel to a newer breaker
    box and installing AFCI or GFCI circuit breakers
    for safety.

Commercial Wiring Updates
  • Commercial structures have a much different
    energy setup and unique electrical demands than
    residential properties. When it comes to wiring
    in these buildings, Lippolis Electric can handle
    anything from a new building project to upgrades
    that bring the existing wiring up to code.
  • Commercial and industrial settings typically use
    a wire with heavier insulation than that found in
    residential homes, known as TTHT (thermoplastic,
    high-heat resistant nylon). Because of increased
    power demands, the electrical systems in these
    types of buildings need to be properly sized.
  • When you see signs that your buildings wiring
    needs an upgrade, like ungrounded outlets or
    two-pronged outlets, you should make it a
    priority to have this work done. These issues can
    lead to fires, and in the case of ungrounded
    outlets, are a major safety hazard for your
    employees and visitors. GFCI outlets are also a
    must in areas where water is a factor, as they
    will shut off the current flow before it can
    cause an electrical fire and all this stuff is
    completed by the help of the 24 Hours Electrician.
