Installation of GFCI Outlets

It is not unusual for an electrical outlet to malfunction or stop working, even in recently constructed homes. In such cases, many individuals simply locate an alternative outlet and disregard the non-functional one.

Employing the expertise of a certified electrician can readily address outlet repairs and facilitate the installation of GFCI outlets in applicable areas. At Dan Wood Company, we have a team of proficient electricians who would be delighted to rectify any outlet issues you may encounter, while also providing recommendations for the installation of GFCI receptacles in suitable locations.

Let us alleviate the stress associated with these issues by reaching out to our skilled electricians today.

Determining the Right Time for Electrical Panel Replacement

Even if you've previously upgraded your circuit breaker from a fuse box, there may come a point when it requires replacement. Several factors should be taken into account, which can be simplified as follows:


  • Homes aged 20 years or older - Unless the home's electrical system has undergone rewiring, it is likely that the fuse box is as old as the house itself. Typically limited to 60 to 100 amps, these older boxes are insufficient for the demands of modern living. Newer panels are designed to handle 200 amps or more, making them better suited for contemporary lifestyles.
    Unusual warmth in the panel - A properly functioning breaker box should not emit warmth, as it could indicate defects, improper installation, or an overload, which may pose potential risks.
  • Strange odors - A breaker box that has been wired incorrectly can present a significant fire hazard. If you notice any peculiar smells emanating from the panel, it may be necessary to replace it.
  • Appliance performance - If your appliances are not operating as effectively or efficiently as they should, it could be a sign of overloaded circuits. If this is ruled out as the cause, it may be an indication that the electrical panel requires replacement.

Advantages of a Whole-Home Generator

Power disruptions often happen at the most inconvenient moments - during scorching heatwaves or freezing snowstorms. These outages can result in drained cellphone batteries, spoiled food, cold showers, bored kids with no entertainment, and the inability to cook on a gas stove. It's like being stuck in a primitive camping scenario without the charm of wildlife, nature, and campfires. While a portable generator can partially address these power issues, it requires frequent refueling and poses risks associated with harmful emissions. Opting for a whole-home generator might be the perfect solution to ensure your comfort during power outages. Here are a few reasons why you should consider these generators:

Swift and dependable power during blackouts: A fixed generator automatically activates, making the power loss hardly noticeable. Operability of all appliances, computers, tools, and other power-dependent devices: You won't lose the food in your refrigerator or freezer, and you can avoid enduring extreme temperatures.

Protection against power surges during outages: Whole-home generators safeguard against damaging power fluctuations, saving you money, time, and headaches when it comes to repairs.

Extended power supply depending on the energy source: Your home can enjoy continuous power for up to 15 days or even indefinitely, depending on the power source.
