Types of Residential Wiring

There are several types of residential wiring that are used for different purposes. The type of wiring you need depends on the size of the home, the electrical load, and the local building codes. Our electricians can help you determine the best type of wiring for your home and make sure that it is installed to meet the required safety standards.

We offer the following types of residential wiring:

Aluminum wiring – This type of wiring is used in older homes and is no longer used in new residential construction. Aluminum wiring has been associated with a high risk of fire and is considered to be a safety hazard. If you have an older home with aluminum wiring, we can perform an inspection and help you determine if it is necessary to replace the wiring.
Non-metallic sheathed cable (NM) – Also known as Romex, non-metallic sheathed cable is the most common type of residential wiring. It is used for general wiring and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. NM cable is made up of two or more insulated conductors and a bare ground wire, which are wrapped in a plastic sheath. The sheath provides protection for the wires and makes it easy to install.
Underground feeder cable (UF) – This type of wiring is designed for outdoor use and is used to power outdoor lighting, pumps, and other outdoor electrical devices. UF cable is similar to NM cable, but it is designed to be buried underground. It is made up of two or more insulated conductors and a bare ground wire, which are wrapped in a plastic sheath that is resistant to moisture and sunlight.
Armored cable (AC) – Also known as BX, armored cable is used in residential wiring where the wiring is exposed to physical damage. AC cable is made up of two or more insulated conductors and a bare ground wire, which are wrapped in a flexible metal sheath. The metal sheath provides protection for the wires and makes it easy to install. AC cable is commonly used in basements, garages, and other areas where the wiring is exposed.
Conduit – Conduit is a type of wiring that is used in commercial and industrial applications, but it can also be used in residential wiring. Conduit is a pipe that is made of metal or plastic and is used to protect the wires from physical damage. The wires are pulled through the conduit, which is then attached to the wall or ceiling. Conduit is more expensive than other types of wiring, but it offers superior protection and is required in certain applications.

Custom Wiring for New Construction & Additions

When you are having a new home built or adding on to your current property, it is important to have a wiring system that is designed to meet your specific needs. Our electricians can work with you to create a custom wiring plan that provides the right amount of power for your home and makes it easy to connect all of your electrical devices. We can install the wiring for your new construction or addition and make sure that it is installed to meet the local building codes.

Whole-House Rewiring

If you live in an older home, the wiring may be outdated and not up to the current safety standards. Old wiring can present a serious safety hazard and should be replaced as soon as possible. We offer whole-house rewiring in Atlanta and the surrounding areas. Our electricians can remove the old wiring and install new wiring that is safe and reliable. We can also upgrade your electrical panel and make sure that your home is up to code.

Residential Wiring Safety Tips

Residential wiring is a complex system that requires a high level of skill and expertise to install. It is important to hire a qualified electrician who has the training and experience to perform the job correctly. When you are having your home wired, it is important to make sure that the electrician uses the right materials and follows the proper procedures. This will help to ensure that your home is safe and that the wiring system will last for many years to come.

Here are some residential wiring safety tips to keep in mind:

Only hire a licensed electrician – When you are having your home wired, it is important to hire a licensed electrician who has the training and experience to perform the job correctly. A licensed electrician has passed a rigorous exam and has met the requirements of the local building codes. This means that they have the knowledge and skills to install the wiring in your home safely and correctly.
Use the right materials – It is important to make sure that the electrician uses the right materials for your home. The wiring should be made of copper or aluminum, which are both safe and reliable. The insulation on the wiring should be made of a material that is resistant to heat and moisture. The electrician should also use the right size of wires for your home. If the wires are too small, they can overheat and cause a fire. If the wires are too large, they can be difficult to work with and can take up more space than necessary.
Follow the proper procedures – When the electrician is installing the wiring in your home, it is important that they follow the proper procedures. This will help to ensure that the wiring is installed correctly and that it will last for many years to come. The electrician should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the wiring. They should also follow the local building codes, which are designed to protect the safety of the occupants of the home.

Residential Wiring Inspections

Whether you are buying a new home or you have an older home, it is important to have the wiring inspected on a regular basis. This will help to ensure that the wiring is in good condition and that it is safe to use. Our electricians can perform a residential wiring inspection and make sure that your home is up to code. We can also identify any potential problems and make the necessary repairs.
