Past Electric Code Violations

(anchor tag don’t delete)

Unless you watched your home being built, there is always a chance someone wired something up without proper permits and inspections. And you might not know this until you have signed the papers and open up the walls. If you’ve never had your home’s wiring inspected, contact KD Electrical to get this done. The electric code does get updated often, but you only have to update the wiring when you are renovating a specific space to pass inspection. However, if even the older code wasn’t followed correctly, you might have some serious safety hazards that should be addressed. We can help you identify and fix electric code violations and pass inspection with your remodeling projects.

Power Generator Repair

(anchor tag don’t delete)

Power generators get quite a bit of use here in Maryland. Between summer thunderstorms and winter ice and “snowpocalypses,” there are plenty of scenarios that can cause the power to go out, often for a while. A power generator is more of a necessity these days, and when it breaks down, life can get tough. If you are noticing decreased performance from your gasoline, gas, oil or battery backup generator, get in touch with KD Electrical right away. Let’s get it fixed before the next big storm!

Receptacle Troubleshooting

(anchor tag don’t delete)

An electrical receptacle is just another name for a power outlet, and these little boxes that we take for granted can sometimes give you trouble. Some examples of a malfunctioning outlet include the outlet getting hot, giving off sparks, not working at all, or becoming so loose that plugs constantly fall out. If you notice any odd behavior from one of your outlets, unplug your appliances and call KD Electrical. Sometimes it’s a matter of tightening loose connections, but in some cases receptacle replacement might be necessary. We can troubleshoot your receptacle problem, find its source and get it working again.

Older Home Wiring

(anchor tag don’t delete)

Depending on how old your home is, it could be built with knob and tube wiring or armored cables. Both wiring methods, although not used anymore, are mostly safe if the wiring is in good condition. However, the main issue with old wiring is that it wasn’t designed to support the large number of appliances we use on a daily basis. Additionally, knob and tube wiring can’t be grounded or spliced, which is a big inconvenience and a potential fire hazard if the system is overloaded. At KD Electrical, we can both troubleshoot knob-and-tube wiring and safely rewire your home according to the modern code and safety standards.
