From time to time you probably see advertisements about local electricians in Myrtle Beach, SC. You probably also notice electrical vans parked in your neighbors’ driveways, but until you actually require electrical services you probably don’t give it much thought. However, once you start experiencing electrical issues in your home it will be the only thing that you can think about, but you might not be sure who to call for help.

Your local electrician can provide a lot more electrical services than you probably think, and in many cases can solve your problem for you in a matter of hours. Whether you are worried about flickering lights in your home or just need help to change an electrical outlet, your local electrician is the best place to start. A lot of local handyman services will advertise that they can handle these small tasks for less, but keep in mind that all electrical work comes with a large fire risk. You don’t want a jack of all trades hiring a potentially dangerous electrical connection when you can hire someone who is educated, insured, and properly bonded.

This is even more true when it comes to larger electrical issues such as changing an electrical fuse box or rewiring a circuit box. If done improperly this can lead to a high electrocution and/or fire issue that is simply not worth it. With that in mind, it is very important that you always hire a professional electrician if you are in need of electrical services. Not sure what type of electrical services your electrician can provide? Here is a brief list of the many services that electricians help homeowners with every day. Essentially, if it has to do with the wiring of any type, an electrician is the person you need to handle any electrical services.

Electrical Installation Services

Does it seem like your circuits are tripping all of the time? Did you buy a new appliance and have nowhere to plug it in? Do you have an overflow of electronic devices and nowhere to plug them all in to charge safely? There are a number of reasons why it may seem like your home system is electrically overtaxed, but the solution is the same in every case. If you need more room to plug in major appliances or small appliances, you need a new circuit. The installation of a new circuit will provide more power to your home and allow you to safely use everything you need in your home once again.

Lighting Services

When it comes to lighting services, the sky’s the limit for most electrical services in Myrtle Beach, SC. Thinking about adding some recessed lights so you can see a little easier in your kitchen or a chandelier in the dining room to add a bit of elegant charm? If so, then you need help from your local electrical company. Most companies handle a wide range of electrical services including indoor lighting installation, outdoor lighting installation, specialty lighting services, and chandelier installation. Light up your backyard to make entertaining guests safely outdoors a bit easier or install the front porch light you have always wanted with the help of a trained electrician.

Outlet & Switch Installation

While minor compared to other electrical services, if you need more lighting to help accentuate a dim room or need more outlets to accommodate appliances you need an electrical service. New outlets and/or switches are the easiest way to get new power sources into a room. Old homes in Myrtle Beach, SC in particular often need electrical panel upgrades or new outlet installation because they were built before electricity was in such high demand. Upgrade your vacation home or main home with the help of our skilled and trained electricians.

Electrical Rewiring/Updating

Most electrical systems are functional for about 20 years, after which you may want to have an electrician perform an inspection to see what may need to be rewired or upgraded. If the world of technology is any indication, electrical demands for the modern house are growing on a daily basis. You probably don’t give your home wiring much thought when buying the latest technology gadget, but you should because your home has to be able to support it.

Over time electrical systems can start to break down for a variety of reasons some of which are very simple. Simple wear and tear over time may cause cables to weaken or decay. If there have been any water leaks or floods in your home the wire itself might start rusting away. Mice also enjoy nibbling on electrical wires so if you have fought with rodents from time to time it is possible that sections of your electrical system may need to be rewired.

On the other hand, if you start noticing your lights flicker when the HVAC system pops on or when you turn your stove on, this may be a sign that you are overloading your electrical system. Once again, this is common in older homes where electrical demand was not as high as it is today. Flickering lights indicate that it is time to call for electrical services. An electrician will likely recommend that you upgrade your electrical system which should provide you with the added power you need.

Electrical Inspections

Finally, if you purchased a new home then it may be wise to have a complete electrical inspection performed so you know if there are any problems that need to be addressed. This type of proactive electrical service can save you a lot of unexpected visits down the road and give you peace of mind. If you suspect you need anything done, call Mister Sparky of Myrtle Beach and we will schedule a visit.
