Sometimes, homeowners think of electricians as people whose job is done during the building of a home. But there is so much more that can come up during the course of homeownership that can only safely be addressed by a qualified electrician. At Douglas Cooling & Heating, we provide a full range of electrical services to homeowners. Here are some of the jobs we regularly handle. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the professionals when you need an electrician in Birmingham, AL!
Electrical Wiring
You might need wiring done for an extension to your home or to accommodate new use of spaces. Or, if your home is older or you have any concerns about the age or condition of the existing wiring, you might need rewiring done for safety and function.
Outlets
Wiring new outlets is sometimes necessary to allow for all the electronics we use these days. But there are also specific types of outlets—GFCI and AFCI—which should be used in certain areas of the home for safety. We can help you determine how to keep your home and family safe by using the correct outlet types throughout your home.
Lighting
Installing new light fixtures indoors or out, rewiring light switches, or troubleshooting issues with lighting such as flickering or frequent lightbulb burnouts are all jobs you should not try to DIY. Always rely on a professional with adequate safety equipment and training.
Electrical Panels
The panel is like a traffic cop, directing the flow so that the amount of electricity getting to various parts of the house is adequate, but also safe. Sometimes, a panel needs repair or replacement. If you have frequent tripped circuits, scorch marks on the panel, crackling or buzzing sounds, or burning or fishy smells, you need an electrician right away.
Generators
Portable generators can help with minor tasks, but whole house generators are the only way to stay up and running no matter what the weather sends our way. We provide installation, maintenance, and repair of these vital systems.
Fans
Attic fans to pull hot air from your house, ceiling fans to keep the temperature even and your cooled or heated air well-distributed: these are electrical appliances, and if they need to be repaired or replaced, an electrician is the person for the job.
Surge Protection
While a little surge protector strip can help with the few things plugged into it, we have a lot more electronics in our homes these days. Smart appliances, thermostats, home assistants, phones, tablets, and more can be badly damaged or destroyed by a power surge. Our team would love to help you make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Gas Piping
Even gas furnaces and kitchen stoves have electrical components. But they also require gas piping work during their installation, maintenance, and repair! Our technicians are qualified to handle both, so when you have questions about gas piping or appliances, we’re ready to help.
