Electrical Replacements & Upgrades in Cincinnati

Homes change over the years, with new additions, upgrades, and other functional and aesthetic installations. Over time, these changes can create mismatches in the electrical system, become outdated or obsolete, or simply wear out.

That’s why it’s important to have regular electrical inspections and consider when electrical replacements or upgrades may be necessary.

Apollo Home offers professional electrical replacement and upgrade services in Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio, as well as in Northern Kentucky.

Signs You Need Electrical Upgrades or Replacements

Electrical components are slow to wear out, but they can and do. Watch for these signs that you need an electrical replacement or upgrade:

• Flickering or Dimming Lights: This is a common sign of loose connections, overloaded circuits, or outdated wiring.
• Frequently Tripping Breakers: If your breakers trip frequently, it means your circuits are overloaded or faulty and could be a fire hazard.
• Warm Outlets or Switches: This is a dangerous sign that could indicate loose wiring or faulty components. Turn off the associated circuit breaker and schedule an electrical repair to fix it.
• Sparking Outlets, Switches, or Circuit Breakers: This is a serious fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.
• Limited Number of GFCI Outlets: GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets protect you from shock in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
• Aluminum Wiring: If your home was built before the mid-1970s, it may have aluminum wiring, which can become loose over time and lead to fires.
• Adding New Appliances or Features: If you plan to add new appliances, fixtures, or features to your home, you may need to upgrade your electrical system to handle the increased load.

Expert Electrical Replacements & Upgrades

If your home was built before 1980 or you haven’t had one recently, it’s definitely worth scheduling an electrical inspection to ensure your electrical system is safe and up to code. In some cases, houses may require a whole-home rewiring and possibly an electrical panel upgrade in order to meet electrical safety standards.

However, in most cases, we can replace just the faulty electrical section to get your home functioning and back into safety compliance. Here are some common electrical replacements and upgrades we perform:

• Electrical Panel
• Wire Replacement
• Outlet & Switch Replacement
• Indoor & Outdoor Lighting
• Surge Protection
• Whole-Home Generator
• Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

These are just a few of the residential electrical upgrades we perform every day in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky. If you need electrical replacements or upgrades, contact Apollo Home for expert electrical services.
