The project
An older residential building in Macungie needed a practical electrical update. The customer wanted floor receptacles removed and relocated into the walls, several ceiling fixtures replaced, and GFI protection added where required.
During the project, Energized Electric also found that the basement was extremely moist and the bottom of the electrical panel had rusted out. The team replaced the electrical service and upgraded it to 200 amps, giving the home a safer and more useful setup for current needs.
It shows how older-building work can start with visible improvements and uncover more serious electrical conditions.
What similar customers should know
Older homes and converted buildings can hide electrical issues behind finished surfaces or in basements. Moisture around service equipment, rusted panels, outdated receptacle locations, and missing GFI protection should be reviewed before adding more loads.
