Electrical upgrades can be critical to your home, K-Electric will ensure that you’re getting the most out of your home’s electrical system while avoiding electrical hazards. With the average life span of a home nationally around 35 years, many of the homes built then were not created for today's electrical loads. In Fond du Lac we know that age is even older.  Consider this, when your home was built did your alarm clock plug into the wall or was it wound up? Was there more than one television in the home? Did microwaves, computers, complex gaming systems, or massive stereo systems even exist? The steady increase of consumer electrical consumption and electronic use in older homes leads to homes being easily overloaded.

More questions to ask yourself:

• Do your lights flicker on occation? 
• Are your breakers tripping?
• Do your fuses blow regularly?
• Are your electric service conductors overheating?
• Are you renovating your home?
• Did you add a sauna, hot tub, steam room, or any other room addition?
• Do you use a 60 amp electrical service?
• Do you use a 100 amp electrical service? 
• Do you need more outlets in your kitchen?
• Did your Homeowners Insurance require you make an Upgrade?
• Do you use multiple extension cords throughout your home?
• Do you require a 240v circuit?
• Do you need to add a sub panel?
• Do you need a power surge arrestor?
• Are your outlets two pronged (non-grounded)?
• Is a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) required?
