Code upgrades are vital for keeping your electrical system safe, efficient, and compliant with current regulations. Over time, electrical codes change to meet modern safety and technology standards. At Northeast Utilities Inc., we provide expert code upgrade services to ensure your property meets these requirements. Whether it’s a home, business, or industrial facility, our team ensures your system is up to date and safe.
Outdated electrical systems can pose serious safety risks. Older wiring, such as knob-and-tube or aluminum, may not handle today’s electrical demands safely. Similarly, panels with fuses or recalled breakers can increase the risk of electrical fires. Our team upgrades these outdated components to improve safety and performance. We also replace ungrounded outlets with safer grounded ones and install GFCI outlets where needed.
Compliance with updated codes is also crucial for legal and insurance reasons. Electrical inspections often fail when systems don’t meet current standards. This can lead to fines, delays in selling property, or insurance issues. We ensure your system complies with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations.
Code upgrades can also boost energy efficiency. Modern standards encourage the use of LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, and properly sized wiring. These changes can lower energy bills while improving functionality. Additionally, upgraded systems can support modern devices like EV chargers, smart home technology, and larger HVAC systems.
Our process begins with a detailed inspection of your existing electrical system. We identify outdated components and safety hazards and recommend tailored solutions. From replacing old panels to rewiring your property, we handle it all with precision and care.
