Electrical Retrofit

We know all too well how the look of your lights and plugs can affect the feel of your home. Outdated fixtures can make your home look dated even after a fresh coat of paint and new flooring goes in. Beyond updating your fixtures, you can start modernizing your home with automation, electrical carports, and more. These are amazing for resale value, but more than that, they help you enjoy your home more by providing you with more control.

If you think your home’s electrical fixtures need a facelift or are ready to bring your home’s automation into the 21st century, call Cardinal Home Services to see how we can help. Whether you’re selecting and purchasing designer fixtures or need a little more help, Cardinal is there for you.

We can even remove your old fixtures and install temporary lighting in its place so you can continue to use your space while you paint or make other minor renovations. Then, after the walls and ceilings are beautifully painted, we will install your stylish new designer lighting and brand-new devices and cover plates, giving your spaces a fresh new sheen of perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the time to consider having a panel upgrade?

If you frequently trip breakers, add new appliances or experience flickering lights, it might be time for an electrical panel replacement. A new panel can greatly benefit older homes, especially those with fuse boxes.

Some common signs you need an electrical panel replacement include:

  • You don’t have enough outlets in your house
  • Your electrical panel frequently trips or blows fuses
  • Your electrical panel is rusted or otherwise damaged
  • Your lights flicker randomly, or when you turn certain appliances on
  • There’s a crackling or buzzing sound coming from your panel
  • There’s a burning smell coming from your electrical panel or outlets

Fuse boxes use fuses that must be replaced when they blow, while circuit breaker panels use switches that can be reset. Circuit breaker panels are more convenient and safer for modern electrical systems.

Typically, an electrical panel replacement takes about 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity of your system. Our team works efficiently to minimize any disruption to your daily routine.

The cost of an upgrade varies based on the specifics of your home and electrical system. While it can be an investment, the benefits of safety, functionality, and peace of mind make it well worth it.

Yes, however, you will experience a temporary power outage while we work. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way and work as quickly as possible to restore power.

It’s a good idea to have your electrical panel inspected every 3-5 years, especially if you live in an older home. Regular inspections can catch potential issues before they become serious problems.
