When you need light electrical work completed in your home, call Kevin’s Home Maintenance. Kevin has years of experience replacing lighting fixtures, switches and outlets. Add a dimmer switch to your dining room for romantic dinners or change outdated kitchen outlets to GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor outlets to bring your older home up to code.
GFCI outlets are designed to shut off power when an electrical item comes into contact with water. They’re critical in bathrooms where hair dryers are usually used around a sink, tub or toilet. They’re also important in kitchens where small appliances are often located near a sink and outside where exposure to rain occurs.
Homes built before 1999 are unlikely to have AFCI outlets in all bedrooms. The National Electrical Code upgraded their requirements to prevent fires caused by electrical arcs, a common cause of home fires. The outlet cuts power when it detects an electrical arc preventing a spark that can set walls on fire. While homes built after 1999 have AFCI outlets, older homes often lack these protective devices. Have Kevin’s Home Maintenance protect you and your family by replacing your older outlets with these life saving devices.
Looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint? Save money on electricity bills when you have Kevin’s Home Maintenance install new lighting fixtures. Energy-efficient recessed lighting fixtures and track lighting drastically cut electricity bills by reducing the amount of voltage the light fixture works. Low voltage light fixtures are perfect in areas where lights remain on for large portions of the day or evening. Have them installed over bathroom vanities, in kitchens and living rooms, as well as home offices.
Kevin’s Home Maintenance is happy to make your home safer and energy efficient. Call today for more information.
