Safety Inspections
Keeping your home up to code is important to ensure it remains a safe place to live. We can assess your current electrical setup and address any discrepancies that may exist. This service can be highly beneficial when first purchasing a home, as well as ensuring older dwellings remain fully compliant.
Wiring Updates & Installation
A faulty wiring system within your home can be an issue of both safety and convenience if left unchecked. In this case, a wiring update or even full overhaul can help create a livable space for you and your family once again.
Lighting Overhauls
Quality electrical service can also make your home more aesthetically pleasing. This is certainly true of lighting overhauls, which can have a drastic impact on the overall look and feel of a home. A lighting overhaul can include installation of new light fixtures, as well the addition of things like dimmer switches to create a more relaxing mood within your home.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
If you home is suffering from constantly tripping breakers or burnt fuses, then your panel is telling you that it needs and upgrade. Upgrading your panel will allow you to put more appliances on the same circuitry so you can get what you need done or satisfy the increasingly stringent requirements from insurance companies.
Fuse Panel Replacement
If your home contains a fuse panel (small cylinders that you can pull out instead of a switch that you can flip) then it is time to consider having an upgrade. Fuse panels are not as safe as the more modern breaker panels and most insurance companies will charge you a premium if your home has a fuse panel. It can also be very difficult to run all of your appliances or add circuits to your property.
Surge Protection
Whether from lightning or because of an issue internal to your home, such as magnetic coupling, power spikes and power surges are a real concern. Left unchecked they can ruin your appliances and can potentially cause you harm. Having surge protection devices added to your home protects you and your investments.

Whole-Home Surge Protection
Our belief at J&D Electric is that safety must be everyone’s first priority, and that is why we encourage the use of high quality surge protectors within homes and businesses.
To protect against the dangerous repercussions of a large electrical power surge, the best way to defend your home is by hiring a professional to install a surge suppression device at the main service panel of your home. A whole home surge protector acts as the first point of impact during a power surge, and stops the high levels of electricity before it can cause damage.
What causes electrical surges?
Power outages
Downed power lines
Tripped circuit breakers
Large appliances and tools
Malfunctions at the power company or on the electrical grid
Faulty electrical wiring
What about surge protector power bars?
“Point-of-use” surge protectors are only beneficial in addition to a whole home surge protector that has been installed at the service entrance of a home, as alone they will not protect you against large electrical surges. Also it is important to understand that some surges can destroy a point-of-use suppressor’s effectiveness, and not all of these devices indicate when they are no longer effective. If you are considering buying multiple point-of-use devices for your home or business, there are some other points you may want to keep in mind.
