Electrical Wiring Services

Electrical wiring involves the installation of intricate cabling systems and related devices such as circuit boards, switches, sockets, outlets, ceiling fans, and lighting fixtures.

Rewiring Services

As our reliance on electrical devices increases, it's critical to maintain and upgrade electrical wiring circuitry. At Iron Shield Electric, we stand ready to help you meet rising power needs, renovate outdated systems, and ensure compliance with local regulations. Our certified electricians can safely and effectively rewire any home.

Whole House Rewiring

While rewiring an entire home might seem like a large and challenging project, its benefits are far-reaching and durable. It safeguards your home against electrical fires and your appliances from power surges. It also ensures your property is code-compliant, insured, and ready for resale if necessary. Professional rewiring can significantly boost the real estate value of a home.

Hot Tub & Pool Rewiring

Incorrect wiring for a hot tub or pool can be hazardous. Our expert hot tub and pool electricians are skilled in:

• Wiring hot tub/pool lighting & systems

• Wiring controllers

• Wiring pumps

It's not advisable to mix water with wires. Reach out to our well-trained technicians for safe hot tub and pool wiring.

Computer Wiring

It's often overlooked that computers, as appliances, consume substantial power. If your electrical system isn't sufficiently prepared or protected, power-intensive computers can strain and overload your circuit. By installing an upgraded circuit breaker and/or rewiring, we can prevent your electrical system from tripping and overheating. If needed, we're also equipped to install an ethernet jack for cable setups and routing systems.

Switches & Outlet Installation

Iron Shield Electric can efficiently install electrical switches and outlets to accommodate new appliances or remodeling projects. Our modern outlets and electric receptacles provide reliable power, making your home significantly safer. Our skilled electricians can also install GFCI outlets, which are essential safety devices in areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces.

Benefits of Electrical & Wiring Installation:

Electrical issues are a leading cause of structure fires. Professionally installed electrical wiring can ensure the safety of your home and family, increase your power capacities, meet electrical codes, handle power surges, and proactively prevent malfunctions.

Enhanced Outlet Capacity

We can boost the amperage in your electrical circuits to handle higher loads, which may involve rewiring your entire circuitry to ensure safety and efficiency.

Stylish Lighting

We provide installation of various aesthetically pleasing lighting options, including:

• Recessed Lighting: Situated in ceiling alcoves, these fixtures add ambiance.

• Media Room Lighting: Set the mood with dimmable strips, sconces, tracks, or ceiling lights.

• Art Lighting: Accentuate art pieces or other focal points with specific lighting.

• Pendant Lighting: Ideal for rooms with high ceilings, kitchens, and stairways.

Outdoor Lighting or Electricity

Transform your outdoor spaces with new lighting arrangements for your deck, patio, or landscape. Improve aesthetics and safety with string lights, patio lights, pathway lights, and security lights like spotlights or floodlights.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Our team ensures safe and compliant ceiling fan installation, checking for necessary permits and appropriate electric ceiling boxes. We'll make sure everything is correctly installed and synced, including switches and remote controls.

Entertainment System Upgrade

Our technicians can design an electrical circuit capable of handling the power needs of extensive entertainment systems, while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your home by running wires behind walls.

Garage Enhancements

From adding new electric outlets for heavy-duty projects to installing new lighting fixtures for improved visibility, we'll help turn your garage into a functional workspace.

Solar Power Solutions

We can provide guidance on installing solar panels for an eco-friendly power supplement that can lower utility costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

Electric Car Charging Upgrades

Our team can assess your electrical system's capability to handle EV charging units, advise on the right charger, perform necessary upgrades, and ensure compliance with local and national electrical codes.

Cost of Hiring an Electrician for Wiring and Installation

The cost of professional electrical services varies based on the project's scale, labor hours, materials needed, wire accessibility, and the amount of wire required.

Factors in Wiring Installation or House Rewiring

We recommend that homes with older, aluminum wiring be rewired to improve electrical stability. Iron Shield Electric's technicians can assess your current wiring and provide expert recommendations. If rewiring is necessary, we can install copper wires at a competitive price.

• House Size and Age: Large, older homes may require more extensive and costly rewiring. An alternative might be "pig tailing", where we connect aluminum wires to copper strands using special connectors, which could save you money and upgrade your electrical system.

• Wiring Accessibility: Many rewiring projects may require wall removal. However, we often find less invasive solutions. With careful planning, we may use your attic or crawlspace to route wires without disturbing your walls.

• Materials Used: Our team comes prepared with all necessary materials, from wires to tools such as volt detectors and wire strippers.

• Labor Involved: Labor cost correlates with the task size and architectural layout. For extensive projects, we may need to access your wiring through attics, basements, crawl spaces, or floor joists. In some cases, we might have to create openings in the drywall, which will increase labor costs.

• Walls Opening: If necessary to run wires or install new elements, opening walls is our last resort. We carefully plan such operations to limit potential damage and costs.

• Electrical Work Needed: During remodeling or building extensions, we can identify optimal locations for outlets and light fixtures. Coordinating rewiring with remodeling can offer better access and efficiency.

Can I Run My Own Electrical Wiring?

While DIY electrical work might save you money in the short term, it's risky and potentially illegal. Untrained handling of electrical projects can lead to serious injuries, house fires, or the invalidation of your home insurance policy. We strongly advise relying on trained electricians for any electrical tasks.

Is DIY Electrical Work Illegal?

Regulations regarding DIY electrical work vary by location. While some areas may permit basic electrical work for homeowners, we recommend checking with local authorities before starting. Also, consider hiring a professional electrician if you're planning to sell your home to avoid jeopardizing the sale or voiding fire insurance coverage.

Why Hire a Trained Electrician for Electrical Installation & Wiring?

Faulty wiring can result in electrical problems or fires down the line and may complicate home inspections if you plan to sell. Our electricians are knowledgeable about local codes and regulations, ensuring all installations meet industry standards.

Avoid Electrical Circuit Overload

Recurrent electrical overloads hint at faulty wiring, increasing fire and surge risks. Older circuit breakers often can't handle modern electrical demands, making appliances and electronics vulnerable to power surges. Our team can help prevent these issues.

How Long Does Electrical & Wiring Installation or Repair Take?

The duration of a rewiring task depends on the property's size, electrical layout, and other factors, ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Our technicians are committed to providing efficient, communicative, and proactive services.
