Electrical Panel Upgrades

Why Upgrade? Modern electrical panels are properly designed and safe, however homes with electrical panels (also known as circuit boxes) installed as recently as the 1980s may contain components that have deteriorated, because of the components that were in use at that time. Your electrical panel may have become unsafe with age and may pose safety issues for you and your family. Old electrical panels have limitations on available space to add circuits or they may have fuses. Some home insurance policies will not insure a property that has fuses. However, this is not the only reason why your electrical panel may need to be upgraded if you are:

Renovating of your home, particularly the kitchen, which is appliance-heavy.

You are adding a home addition.

The addition of a major appliance, such as central heating and air, stoves, spas, garage power equipment, and more.

You need/are adding outlets to your home.

To meet homeowners insurance requirements.

You’re in need of a 240 volt circuit.

You need to add a sub panel. …then you may need an electrical panel upgrade.

Recessed Lighting

Why use recessed lighting?

Recessed lighting is a great way to illuminate a room using a minimalistic approach that avoids clutter. Recessed lighting is a versatile means of providing both ambient and task lighting to just about any area in your home. These lights are mounted in the ceiling. If you don’t like the look of a round, white light fixture, there are other choices available. You can find recessed lights with trim rings in different colors or metallic finishes. You can even get square lights, if the round-style is too plain or conventional for you.

There are three types of lighting you can use to illuminate your home and they’re based on the kind of light bulb they use. They are incandescent, fluorescent and LED. Many homeowners want to use recessed lighting to create a focal point such as Illuminating artwork. AJP Electric can help you choose the right lighting elements such as gimbal fixtures that rotate, revolve and swivel, so you can focus the light exactly where you want it and even change your focal point when you change your home decor.

Homeowners may think that they can safely do it themselves, but many are unaware of the code requirements based on where you want your lighting. Recessed lights come in two flavors: Insulation contact (IC) and non-insulation contact (Non-IC). Non-IC recessed lighting generates too much heat to safely remain in contact with insulation or any building material. IC rated fixtures are very common in northeastern homes since we use blown insulation in the attic, these canned units provide the proper housing for safe usage.

All recessed fixtures are to be installed based on the regulations of your local municipality. Over the years, these fixtures have undergone improvement to ensure their safety, efficiency and ease of installation. Proper installation is required to reduce their fire hazard but also to prevent:

condensation build-up
mould growth and
to minimize drafts

GENERAC Generator Installations, Portable & Full Scale Generators

In an emergency, portable generators can provide critical backup power in times of need. Generac portable generators make sure the most important items such as your lights, refrigerators and freezers, sump pumps, even space heaters and window air conditioners—are up and running, minimizing any disruption to your lifestyle. We are an authorized reseller and installer of all Generac products and we can help you choose whether you need a full scale Generac generator or a portable Generac generator.

What is an Interlock Installation?

Interlock Installations allow a portable generator to be safely and conveniently connected to a home’s electrical panel. This acts as a manual transfer switch so that both the utility breaker and the generator breaker cannot be turned on at the same time which isolates the two systems.

Overall safety is incredibly improved because with an interlock installation there is no need to run extension cords into the home which eliminates associated fire and tripping hazards. Your panel board is a distribution and protection system for electricity in your home. Power is fed through the utility into the panel. From here it is run across the different circuit breakers and out into the rest of your home.

Our interlock installation process safely disconnects your panel from the utility feed and switches it over to the generator which is being fed through a new generator breaker. With this one connection you can now use anything in your home because all the circuits in your home can be activated through the breakers in your panel.
