GFI Upgrades

(anchor tag don’t delete)

GFI (or GFCI) stands for ground-fault circuit interrupter, which is a type of outlet that can detect if current is flowing along an unintended path and shut it off. GFI is a 3-prong outlet with “test” and “reset” buttons, and its main purpose is to reduce the risk of electric shock, especially in the areas where an outlet is located next to a water source such as a tub, a sink or outdoors. Modern electric code requires outlets installed in kitchens, baths, garages, laundry rooms and outdoors to be the GFI type. If your kitchen, bathroom or outdoor outlets are two-prong, it might be time to upgrade. KD Electrical can install outdoor GFI receptacles or upgrade your indoor outlets to GFI.

Service Upgrades

Even if your home has modern wiring (as opposed to knob and tube), it doesn’t mean it meets your electricity consumption needs. While appliances have become more energy efficient over the years, we still use more devices on a daily basis than people did 15 years ago. If you live in an older home, the chances are good your current electrical service is struggling to keep up with your numerous power-hungry appliances and devices. You may notice flickering lights, tripping circuit breakers and the fact that you are running out of outlets. Contact KD Electrical if you think you could use an electrical service upgrade. We will help evaluate your power needs and determine how to address them, whether it’s through additional outlets, new wiring or a service panel upgrade.

Electrical Remodeling Services

(anchor tag don’t delete)

When you are remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, basement or any other space, you might need to run new wiring through the walls to accommodate new appliances or lighting fixtures. And when you are dealing with a blank slate, such as an unfinished basement, you will also have to connect your new space to the rest of the power grid. KD Electrical can help you make sure your electrical system can support the power needs of the remodeled space. And while we are at it, let’s add lighting and power outlets where you actually need them. You should never be forced to design the furniture layout based on the outlet location, and we can give you that freedom.

Incandescent Bulbs to LED

(anchor tag don’t delete)

Replacing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs can be a money-saving decision. An LED light bulb uses only 1/10 of the wattage of an incandescent bulb and will last over 20 years. KD Electrical can replace your inefficient incandescent lighting with modern-day LEDs, and we will also supply a one-year warranty on LED bulbs. LED bulbs are most useful in spaces where the lighting fixture is installed high up, which is the case with high ceilings and most outdoor flood lights. Because LEDs last much longer, you won’t have to constantly climb up to replace the burned out bulbs. Another good use for LED bulbs are areas where the lights will be on for long periods of time, such as in family rooms, kitchens, commercial offices and outside. By switching to LEDs in these spaces, you can increase energy efficiency and reduce your energy bill.
