Electrical Service Replacement

12/3/2014

1 Comment

 
This week CWC Electric, LLC replaced an electrical service on a classic, older brick-and-stucco home which was originally built in 1938. It's so wonderful to see an older home retain it's beautiful original features such as arched doorways, crown moldings, built-in cabinets and wood flooring. It's not so wonderful to see the original 1938 electrical panel which has been added on to numerous times over the decades. 

As in many cases, such a dangerous condition is detected when a home is sold and a whole house inspection is performed prior to finalizing the sale. Most banks and insurance companies require a home's electrical components be brought up to the minimum National Electrical Code requirements before financing or insuring the house.

It was also required to extend the service mast and point of attachment so the utility drop maintained a 10 foot clearance above ground at all points. Prior to raising the drop, it was possible to reach the energized electric line while standing at ground level. 

This home is now beautiful and safe! A big Thank-you to all the CWC Electric, LLC electricians who braved the cold weather to make this job a success. How cold was it? Cold enough to bend metal according to a well-wrapped Chad!

My father's home is up for sale. I appreciate you mentioning that the majority of banks and insurance firms demand that, before financing or insuring a property, the electrical components be brought up to the minimal standards set by the National Electrical Code. I'll advise my father to have the electrician ensure that the house complies with electrical standards by checking the electrician.
