Residential Electrical Services for LansingApplegate can help any homeowner with electrical service and repair for their home. We can help repair those light fixtures in your home, work on accent lighting, and more. One of the most popular services that we provide is appliance circuits. Dedicated circuits for appliances are a must with the electrical code. This keeps your stove, refrigerator, and other high-energy appliance at peak running efficiency. Many older homes do not have dedicated appliance circuits. Because of this, older homes with newer appliances may have problems with overloads. Modern kitchens may have anywhere from 4 to 6 dedicated appliance circuits. Our team can easily come in, look at your kitchen, and install the right setup for your needs. This is a great service if you are anticipating a new kitchen renovation or just want to upgrade your appliances in the near future. Some of the appliances that need dedicated circuits include:
- Washer & Dryer
- Refrigerator and Freezer
- Electric Water Heater
- Furnace
- Microwave, depending upon the size.
- Dishwasher
- Garbage Disposal
- Air Conditioner
- Electric Ranges
Backup Generators for Greater LansingAnother electrical service that we provide for Lansing homeowners is backup generators. We carry Generac backup generators. If your power goes out due to a winter storm or provider blackout, Applegate has the abilities to give you the peace of mind that you need. Our backup generators are particularly beneficial for homeowners because they automatically switch on when the electrical grid goes out. With other types of generators, you have to manually turn them on and make sure they are running. Make the investment with Applegate and get peace of mind with our Generac backup generators.
Your Home's Electrical PanelWhat type of electrical panel do you need for your home? Applegate Home Comfort, serving all of Greater Lansing, can help you find the right electrical panel for your home and install it. Many older homes might have a fuse breaker. These are obsolete and we recommend updating to a modern electrical panel to make your home safer. A modern circuit breaker is designed to "trip" and protect your wiring from damage in the case of an overload. We can help you install the right main breaker and circuit breaker to make sure that your home's energy is running at peak efficiency.
Common Electrical Problems Around the HomeApplegate can help solve a multitude of problems around the home. Here are frequent problems that we see around the home when we get called for service:
- Frequent Electrical Surges: This can be caused by older wiring in the home.
- Sags and Dips in Power: These are likely caused by older wiring or too many devices connected to one outlet, like appliances.
- Light Switches Not Working: This is frequently a problem with dimmer switches and three-way witches.
- Circuit Breaker Tripping: This is most common when appliances do not have a dedicated panel.
- Circuit Overloads: This is frequently caused by too many devices being connected to one outlet. Adding new outlets can help.
- Lights to Bright or Dim: This can be caused by having different wattages in lights or wiring not being set up correctly.
- High Electric BIll: This is typically corrected with energy-efficient lighting and making sure the wiring in your home is up to code.
- Lights Burn Out Too Often: This is often caused by poor wiring or having too much wattage on one switch.
- Downlights Go Out Too Often: If you have recessed lights, like safety lights in your home, these might be going out too often. We can help check to make sure that insulation is not making the lights hot and that the right wattage of bulb is being used.
