Frequently asked question?
What is the most serious electrical code violation in NYC?
The most serious and dangerous electrical code violation is adding too many wires to an electrical box. It can wear down the insulation and lead to a fire hazard, especially if the crammed wires rub each other.
Is it illegal to splice wires?
Splicing wires is not illegal in and of itself. But if the spliced wires are not enclosed in a junction box, it goes against electrical codes as it can cause electrocution.
Do you offer replacement services for outdated panels?
Absolutely! If your panel is of an obsolete model or if it simply does not fulfill your electrical needs, we’ll upgrade it professionally to the latest model. We’ll make sure to keep your budget and energy requirements in mind.
