Hazardous Panels & Breakers
Signs that your electrical panel may need upgrading include crackling sounds coming from the panel, rusty or corroded circuit breakers, or warmth inside the panel. Another sign is if appliances no longer run at full power.
At Burney Electrical Services, we upgrade panels through rewiring, bus bar replacement, and circuit breaker replacement.
Lighting Installation
We install lights, fans, chandeliers, sconces, recessed lights, track lights, and ceiling-mounted lights. Call us for new installations or for repairs of existing fixtures. Need new switches or dimmers? We'll do the job.
Ceiling, Bathroom, Whole House, and Attic Fans
Installing ceiling fans can be fiddly and awkward. Call Burney Electrical Services for expert removal of old ceiling fans and installation of new ones. We will also install your whole house/attic fan. This type of fan, installed in an attic or roof, helps cool down the entire house and reduces your power bill. Need a fan installed in a bathroom? Call us.
Generators
Avoid the inconvenience and disruption of power outages by having a stand-by generator. Standby generators automatically turn on when a primary power source fails. Depending on the size installed, a generator will power an air conditioning unit, electric well pump, freezer, refrigerator, device chargers, computers, and appliances.
Call Burney Electrical Services to discuss what kind and size of generator is best for your home or business. We'll get it installed.
Home Theater Installation
Turn your loft or bonus room into a home theater with lights, audio, speakers, and screens. We'll transform the space into an inviting place for you and your family and friends. Don't know what you need for a great home theater? We'll help you select the right components to suit your space, usage, and budget.
Outdoor Lighting—Landscape, Security, & Commercial
We install residential and commercial landscape lighting and security lighting. Landscape lighting includes spotlights strategically placed in beds and under trees to illuminate foliage for dramatic evening looks. Path and area lights add beauty and safety to walkways, driveways, and areas with foot traffic. Commercial exterior lighting includes the illumination of parking lots, signage, sports venues, hospitals, business parks, amusement parks, etc.
Appliance Circuits
Large appliances usually require a dedicated circuit. If they share a circuit with other appliances, the power draw can overload the circuit and cause overheating, tripping, or even fire. Call Burney Electrical Services to evaluate your wiring and install dedicated appliance circuits. Appliances that may need a dedicated circuit include refrigerators, wall ovens, microwaves, electric ranges, dishwashers, freezers, garbage disposals, washers, dryers, heating and a/c units, space heaters, furnaces, water heaters, water pumps, central vacuums, saunas, and garage door openers.
GFCI Outlets
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to prevent people from getting shocked. They are usually installed in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and porches, where they immediately stop the flow of electric current when a sensor inside them detects a flow imbalance. GFCI outlets have a reset button that allows the current to flow again normally. Burney electricians install GFCI outlets.
Smoke Detectors
According to the National Fire Protection Association, you should have smoke detectors inside each bedroom in your home and outside every sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. You should also have carbon monoxide detectors, especially if your home is plumbed with gas. Call an electrician to install your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Electrical Outlets
Installing electrical outlets is not a do-it-yourself project. Call the professionals at Burney Electrical to install outlets in your home, garage, shed, barn, or commercial building.
Arc-Fault Breakers
Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) or arc-fault detection devices (AFDD) are circuit breakers that trigger when they detect an electric arc generated by loose wiring connections. Arc-fault breakers distinguish normal arcs from faulty arcs, which are potentially dangerous. Building codes in the United States and Canada require that AFCI breakers be installed in residential bedrooms. Burney electricians install this kind of breaker.
Whole House Rewiring
Electrical systems in older homes sometimes get overloaded by modern households' appliances and devices. Whole-house rewiring is one solution to the problem. How do you know if your electrical system is struggling? Look for these signs:
- Lights seem dimmer than they used to be
- Lights sometimes flicker
- Plugs and cords feel warm or hot
- You can hear buzzing sounds in outlets
- You get a small shock or see sparks when plugging in a cord
- Breakers trip regularly
If you notice any of the signs above, don't dismiss them. Call Burney Electrical Services. Our electricians will be able to tell if a simple repair will fix the issue or if rewiring is necessary.
Electrical Inspections
We recommend an annual inspection of your home or building's electrical system. In an electrical inspection, Burney electricians examine all components of your electrical system to make sure all is in order. If there is damaged wiring, failing components, faulty outlets, etc., our electrician will make repairs.
Schedule an annual electrical inspection with Burney Electrical Services. Problems identified early can help you avoid costly repairs later. Inspections can also show up issues that could lead to fires.
