Electrician Orange County

Services

Electricians have a variety of skills and experience in different areas of service. With the recent home theater system demand electricians are doing more than changing fuses and bulbs. Because of things like this, they have been pushed to step up their game and learn new electrical services and skill sets. An Orange County electrician offers an array of services, some of which are listed below.

Replacing Outlets and Switches

Orange County Electricians replace many different kinds of outlets and switches. Included in these are two prong plugs, three prong plugs, dimmers, three way switches and GFI. Changing the face of an outlet from ivory to white is very common.

Circuit Breakers

Old Circuit breakers can cause electrical fires and problems with your power. Breakers can become weak or obsolete over time. In this situation the customer may need to replace the old breaker with a new breaker. An Orange County Electrician will be more than capable of performing this task.

Panel Upgrades

Panel upgrades are most common in older homes. An Orange County Electrician might replace an old panel in a remodel of an aged home. A panel upgrade includes replacing the old meter, breakers, as well as the panel. These installations can be flushed or recessed.

GFCI Protected Outlets

There are two different types of GFCI’s in homes. One is the GFCI outlet and the other is the GFCI circuit breaker. The outlet and the breaker both do the same job however each have different functions and limitations.

The outlet is a replacement for a standard electrical outlet and the breaker controls one entire circuit. Instead of installing multiple GFCI outlets, one GFCI breaker can protect an entire circuit.

Security Lighting

Motion detecting lights are not only a great electricity saver but help protect your home. Security lights are easily installed on door ways and garage doors. An Orange County Electrician will have the necessary knowledge and experience to install security lighting into your home.

Computer Circuits

In resent years computer circuits have become very important. A computer outlet looks very similar to a standard three prong outlet except it doesn’t share power with anything else. Different from a surge protector, a computer circuit has its own ground wire that will give your computer more protection.

Interior Lighting

Interior lighting is a common project for Orange County electricians. These jobs are most common on additions and upgrades. They are perfect for accent lighting or lighting an area that isn’t being covered by existing lighting.

Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan installation is another electricity saver. You can purchase the fan you like from Home Depot (or a similar store) and have an Orange County Electrician install the fan into your home. Typically, a ceiling fan installation will be completed within two hours.
