Older Building Electrical Service and Code Updates in Macungie, PA
Energized Electric helped a Macungie homeowner update an older building by relocating floor receptacles, replacing fixtures, adding required GFIs, and upgrading the service to 200 amps after finding a rusted panel.
The project
A Macungie homeowner was updating an older building and asked Energized Electric to bring the electrical up to date. The team moved floor receptacles into the walls, replaced multiple ceiling fixtures, and added GFIs where they were required.
While working in a very moist basement, the crew found the bottom of the existing electrical panel rusted out. The whole electrical service was replaced right away, and the home was upgraded to a 200 amp service as part of the same project.
