Turn To Shafnisky For Your Electrical
Needs In Hellertown


Do frequent electrical issues have you considering service upgrades in Hellertown? Shafnisky Electric can help.

Older homes weren’t built for modern electrical demands. If your home has limited power capacity, it’s time to consider an electrical service upgrade. The typical 60-amp service installed in homes for decades is no longer sufficient or up to code in most locations.

Upgrading your service offers convenience and safety.

Nowadays, the average home needs at least 100 amps, but usually 200 amps, to meet its demands. Choosing a 200-amp upgrade means replacing every electrical component to safely handle the increased power capacity.

The type of wiring you have might need an upgrade. If your older home still has knob and tube wiring, a complete rewiring would be a wise investment. Remember, local building codes might not require you to upgrade old wiring, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a risk of a problem.

In newer homes, a service upgrade could be as simple as giving you extra power to handle our technology-driven lifestyle.

The electrical experts at Shafnisky Electric can assess your current situation and determine the best service upgrades for your home.
