Top Electrical Upgrades for Improved Home Safety

October 7, 2024 | Blog

In Lake Charles, where the weather can be as unpredictable as it is beautiful, ensuring your home is equipped with the latest electrical upgrades is not just a matter of convenience—it’s a matter of safety. As a trusted provider in the community since 1958, Ace Air Conditioning & Plumbing is committed to helping homeowners enhance their home safety with top-notch electrical services. Here, we explore some of the most effective electrical upgrades that can significantly improve the safety of your home.

1. Upgrade to Circuit Breakers

One of the most crucial upgrades for any home is replacing old fuse boxes with modern circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are more reliable and safer, as they automatically cut off electricity in the event of an overload or short circuit, reducing the risk of electrical fires. If your home still relies on an outdated fuse box, it’s time to consider an upgrade. Our team at Ace Air Conditioning & Plumbing can provide expert advice and installation services to ensure your home is up to code and safe.

2. Install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)

GFCIs are essential in areas of your home where water and electricity are in close proximity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. These devices help prevent electrical shock by shutting off the power when a ground fault is detected. Installing GFCIs is a simple yet effective way to enhance your home’s electrical safety. Our experienced electricians can assess your home and install GFCIs where needed, providing peace of mind for you and your family.

3. Surge Protection

With the frequent storms in Lake Charles, power surges are a common occurrence. These surges can damage your appliances and electronics, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Whole-house surge protectors can safeguard your home against these unexpected spikes in electricity. At Ace Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we offer comprehensive surge protection solutions to keep your home and its contents safe from electrical surges.

4. Upgrade to LED Lighting

Switching to LED lighting is not only an energy-efficient choice but also a safer one. LED lights generate less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing the risk of fire. Additionally, they have a longer lifespan, which means fewer replacements and less maintenance. Our team can help you transition to LED lighting, ensuring your home is both safe and energy-efficient.

5. Smart Home Technology

Integrating smart home technology can significantly enhance your home’s safety. Smart systems allow you to control lighting, security cameras, and other devices remotely, providing added security and convenience. With Ace Air Conditioning & Plumbing, you can explore a range of smart home solutions tailored to your needs, ensuring your home is both modern and secure.

6. Backup Generators

In the event of a power outage, having a backup generator can be a lifesaver. It ensures that your home remains powered, keeping essential systems like heating, cooling, and refrigeration running. Our backup generator installation services provide reliable power solutions, so you’re never left in the dark.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Friendly and Honest

Technician came out to my house within an hour of calling and he was very friendly and honest. I was expecting to have to replace the whole unit or have a salesman try to have me “upgrade” to a newer unit but Mr Jeff was quick to diagnose and correct the problem at a reasonable cost.

Megan M.

Excellent Service!

We called Ace on a Sunday. Several hours later a serviceman arrived, inspected the air conditioner, and got it working. The serviceman was quite knowledgeable. Excellent service!

Diane B.

Highly Recommended

Jace went out of his way to get my air conditioner repaired so that my home would be comfortable for the weekend. He was extremely polite and professional. I highly recommend ACE as a company and Jace as a technician. I could not have been more pleased with the service I received.
