Common Electrical Services for Homes: What Ogden Electrical Can Do for You

Your home’s electrical system is one of its most important components, and it requires regular maintenance and occasional upgrades to ensure it functions properly and safely. Whether you’re dealing with a minor electrical issue or planning a major renovation, Ogden Electrical offers a wide range of electrical services to meet your needs. In this blog post, we’ll cover some of the most common electrical services that homeowners in Utah may require and how our team can help.
1. Electrical Panel Upgrades and RepairsThe electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system, distributing power to various circuits throughout the house. If your panel is outdated or not functioning properly, it can lead to overloaded circuits, frequent breaker trips, and even electrical fires.
Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade:

• Your home still has a fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel.
• Your electrical panel is more than 20 years old.
• You’re frequently resetting circuit breakers due to overloads.
• You’ve added new appliances or electronics that require more power.

At Ogden Electrical, we can upgrade your electrical panel to ensure it meets the power demands of modern homes. Our panel upgrades are designed to improve the efficiency and safety of your electrical system, reducing the risk of overloaded circuits and improving overall performance.
2. Lighting Installation and RepairsLighting plays a crucial role in your home’s functionality and ambiance. Whether you need new lighting fixtures installed or want to upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting, Ogden Electrical has you covered.
Our Lighting Services Include:

• Indoor and outdoor lighting installation: From recessed lighting to landscape lighting, we can install lighting that enhances your home’s beauty and safety.
• Lighting repairs: If you’re dealing with flickering lights or faulty switches, our team can troubleshoot and repair the issue quickly.
• Smart lighting systems: Want to control your home’s lighting from your smartphone? We can install smart lighting systems that allow you to automate and customize your lighting for convenience and energy savings.

3. Outlet Installation and RepairsElectrical outlets are essential to powering your home’s devices, but over time, they can become damaged or outdated. If your outlets are cracked, not functioning properly, or you simply need more of them, Ogden Electrical can help.
Our Outlet Services Include:

• Outlet repairs: We can fix faulty outlets that don’t work or are causing electrical problems.
• New outlet installations: If you need more outlets in certain rooms or want to install modern USB outlets, we can add outlets where they’re needed most.
• GFCI outlet installations: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required in areas like kitchens and bathrooms to protect against electrical shocks. We can install or upgrade GFCI outlets in your home to improve safety.

4. Whole-Home Surge ProtectionPower surges can occur for many reasons, including lightning strikes, electrical grid issues, or large appliances turning on and off. These surges can damage your home’s electronics and appliances. Installing whole-home surge protection helps prevent costly damage by blocking surges before they reach your devices.
Benefits of Whole-Home Surge Protection:

• Protects your electronics and appliances from power surges.
• Reduces the risk of electrical fires caused by surges.
• Improves the overall safety of your home’s electrical system.

5. Wiring Repairs and UpgradesWhether you’re renovating your home or dealing with outdated wiring, Ogden Electrical can handle all your wiring needs. Proper wiring is essential for the safety and functionality of your electrical system, and our team is experienced in both repairs and full rewiring projects.
Common Wiring Services:

• Aluminum to copper wiring upgrades: Older homes built in the 1960s and 1970s may have aluminum wiring, which is more prone to overheating and starting fires. We can upgrade your wiring to safer copper.
• New circuit installations: If you’re adding new appliances, a home office, or expanding your home, we can install new circuits to accommodate the increased electrical load.
• Wiring repairs: If you’re dealing with frayed, damaged, or exposed wiring, we can repair it to ensure your home is safe.
