Electrical issues in homes can range from small wiring faults to larger system failures and remodel-related work. Residential electrical services typically include repairs, upgrades, troubleshooting, and new installations to keep systems functional, efficient, and up to code.
Electrical safety depends on proper installation methods, updated tools, quality materials, and trained technicians. Using safe practices during repairs and installations helps reduce risks such as power failures, equipment damage, and electrical hazards.
Common signs of electrical problems include faulty outlets, flickering lights, appliance malfunctions, or recurring power issues. Professional troubleshooting from Quality Electric can help identify the cause and determine whether repair, replacement, or system upgrades are needed.
How can you save on electric bills?
Keep items turned off when not in use.
Replace lamps in fixtures with LED type. LED lighting is very energy efficient, does not need a warm up time like compact fluorescent, and lasts a very long time (apr. 25,000 hours).
Consider LED TV’s when making a new purchase because they consume less energy (as compared to plasma).
Unplug items that are not being used on a regular basis because most items still draw a small amount of power even when plugged in.
GFCI & GFI Outlet Installation for Home Safety
When it comes to your family’s safety, there is no room for compromise. Quality Electric specializes in professional GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) and GFI outlet installation to protect your Columbus home from severe electrical shock hazards.
Many older homes in Central Ohio were built before modern electrical codes required these life-saving devices in areas where water and electricity are in close proximity. If your home still has standard outlets in high-risk areas, you may be vulnerable to electrical shocks or fire hazards.
Our GFCI/GFI Safety Services Include:
Code-Compliant Upgrades: We replace outdated standard outlets with modern GFCI/GFI receptacles in your kitchen, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and unfinished basements, bringing your home up to current Ohio electrical codes.
Outdoor & Weatherproof GFCI Installation: We install heavy-duty, weather-resistant GFCI outlets for your outdoor patios, decks, and landscaping, ensuring safe power for holiday lights, power tools, and outdoor appliances.
Troubleshooting & Replacement: Is your GFCI outlet tripping constantly or refusing to reset? We diagnose and replace faulty units to restore safe, reliable power to your circuits.
Home Inspection Prep: Buying or selling a home in Franklin County? We ensure all required GFCI and AFCI (Arc Fault) protections are installed so your property easily passes electrical inspections.
Don’t wait for a shock hazard to reveal itself. Let our licensed electricians inspect your outlets and ensure your home is fully protected.
Dedicated Appliance Wiring: Dryer, Range, and Oven
Just bought a new stove, wall oven, or washing machine? Don’t risk an electrical fire by using the wrong outlet. Large home appliances draw massive amounts of power and require dedicated, high-voltage circuits to operate safely. Quality Electric provides professional dryer wiring, range wiring, and oven electrical installation for Columbus homeowners, ensuring your new appliances run perfectly without overloading your home's system.
Our Appliance Wiring Services Include:
240V Dedicated Circuit Installation: We run new, properly sized 240-volt circuits directly from your electrical panel to your laundry room or kitchen, ensuring your dryer or range gets the exact power it needs without tripping breakers.
3-Prong to 4-Prong Outlet Upgrades: Moving into an older Columbus home with an outdated 3-prong dryer or range outlet? Modern electrical codes require 4-prong outlets with a separate ground wire for safety. We safely upgrade your outlets to match your new appliance's power cord.
Kitchen & Laundry Remodel Wiring: Planning a kitchen upgrade or moving your laundry room? We handle all the heavy-duty wiring, sub-panels, and circuit routing required for modern, high-draw appliances.
Appliance Circuit Troubleshooting: Does your breaker trip every time you turn on the oven and microwave at the same time? We diagnose overloaded circuits and upgrade your wiring to handle the demands of modern, energy-hungry appliances.
Don't let improper wiring void your appliance warranty or create a hidden fire hazard. Let our licensed electricians ensure your home is safely wired for your most demanding appliances.
