Electricians are one of the most important professions in the modern world. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be almost 715,000 electricians doing business in the United States by 2024. This is an increase from over 625,000 electricians employed now. These electricians offer many services to residential customers to ensure our homes stay lit. Here are just a few of the most common services they provide.

Switch and Outlet Services

When you think of electrician services in the home, you probably think of this first. An electrician is an expert in the wiring of your home and can make sure that your switches and outlets are charged and safe. With switch and outlet service from a professional electrician, you can keep your home supplied with electricity, make sure that your switches meet safety standards, and ensure that they won't drop under household loading.

Indoor and Outdoor Lighting

Electrical contractors will perform the design of your indoor and outdoor lighting systems to cover your entire home. You can add powerful flood and spotlights, direct and indirect track lighting, and ceiling fans. Your contractors will make your dreams a reality and ensure that all the pieces are wired into the wall and tested.

Lighting Retrofit

Many older homes don't have full interior lights fitted, creating many dark rooms that struggle to stay lit with only one integrated light fixture. Many people rely on stand, pole, and table lamps to light these spaces. However, these types of lights aren't designed for the interior of your specific home, so they can leave shadowy corners and difficult visibility, especially in bedrooms with many irregular surfaces. These shadows in home lighting design can result in tripping, falling, and injury hazards. This can be fixed by retrofitting the space with additional ceiling-based lighting, and your electrician service can help with the design process.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are required by law in many places. If you don't have enough smoke detectors to cover your home or have a carbon monoxide detector in a place that works, electrical contractors can help. Electrical contractors can install mains-powered smoke detectors that are more sensitive and more economical than ones that run on battery power alone.

These and many other home improvement services can be provided by a professional electrician. Talk to At Your Service Electric, LLC today about your house's needs.
