Electrical Repair Services

Electrical repairs should always be performed by a professional electrician. The risk for electric shock and property damage is simply too great. Therefore, homeowners should keep a trusted local electrician on speed dial in case of electrical problems.

Below is a sample of the home electrical repair services offered by Mox Electric:


- Circuit Breaker Replacement



If you have a circuit breaker that won’t stop tripping, upgrading to a higher capacity circuit breaker can fix the issue and keep your appliances working when you need them. Keep in mind that in some circumstances, upgrading the breaker may also require installing higher-capacity wiring throughout the circuit.


- Wire Replacement


Outdated wiring can cause many problems, from power outlet malfunctions to house fires. Aluminum wiring was commonly installed in the 1960s and ‘70s. Unfortunately, it poses a major fire risk and should be replaced immediately. Before the 1930s, residential electrical systems featured knob and tube wiring. Knob and tube wiring does not meet modern building codes and poses extreme safety risks to the structure and anyone in it. Installing modern electrical lines will give you a safe and reliable electrical flow.

- Electrical Outlet Replacement


Outdated two-prong outlets no longer meet building codes. Many areas of your home should also have GFCI outlets installed, but older homes are often not up to date with these modern electrical safety outlets. Upgrading electrical outlets will protect your home or business while providing more reliable power delivery.


- Fuse Box Replacement



If you have an old-fashioned fuse box, getting it replaced with a modern circuit breaker panel could be the single most important home electrical repair to improve your house’s electrical system performance. Fuse boxes were the precursor to the modern circuit breaker panel. Every time a circuit became overloaded, the circuit’s fuse blew and had to be replaced. A good electrician will be able to assess your electrical system and install a new circuit breaker box, making your electrical system safer, more functional, and hassle-free.


- Electrical Code Updates



If you’re hoping to sell your house, you may need to have some modifications done to bring the home up to current electrical code. For example, most insurance companies will not insure homes that have knob and tube wiring. This means that obtaining a mortgage for such a home is nearly impossible, and that diminishes your potential buyer pool substantially. Going the extra mile to upgrade the electrical systems may increase your chances of selling the house in a timely manner and finding a buyer who will meet your asking price.
