Many new homeowners recognize that when they move into an older home, there are many issues that may to be addressed before they can breathe easy. One of these issues is that of electrical. If an inspector advises that the electrical wiring in a home needs to be redone, there are a few things to consider and understand here. First, when looking for a licensed Electrician, shop around. Realize though, you get what you pay for. The cheapest may not always be the best. Not only should you check references, but also draw up a contract for the work before the Contractor even gets started. In addition, you can expect the average service upgrade for a 2000 square foot home to be around $3000 and take one or two days to complete. If you have planned to be home during this time, you can expect the power to be out between 4-6 hours. Additionally, should you have large or unique antler chandeliers or other specialty light fixtures that needs to be wired for—this is the perfect time to do it! Make sure your contract includes any additional project you need completed. It may seem like an inconvenience, but electrical is one of those issues that is critical. There is not much worse than losing your home to an electrical fire after you’ve just purchased it!
