Electrical Service Upgrade in Hoover

Monday, August 22, 2016 10:50am

Here are some photos from a recent electrical troubleshooting job in Hoover at a commercial shopping center. After visiting the location it was determined that a service upgrade was necessary.

We upgraded the electrical service to a 200 amp service. There was a bad code violation here originally, a wire rated for 125 amps fed into a 200amp box. This melted the conduit so we had to pull the old wire out one at a time and replace it with all new wire.

We are glad we got called out to look at this as it was a fire just waiting to happen. Please always make sure you always have a licensed and insured electrician working on any electrical work in your home or business. This isn’t something anyone should ever try to do yourself.

New homeowners should never ignore these electrical responsibilities.

Whether the issue is large or small, problems with electricity are often ignored until they become apparent. It's easy to avoid thinking about problems that can occur in our appliances, circuit breakers, wall outlets, and even light bulbs. But often, ignoring issues while they are small leads to more significant problems and the necessity for the help of an electrician.

They always are so polite and come whenever I need them to - working around my schedule. A family business that cares about the little man! Great prices and excellent service! Have used them several times and will continue too!

Thanks for Saving Me!

John's Electric was wonderful! I called and he was at my house within an hour!! I was at great risk of fire because of my breaker overheating, and he got me taken care of quickly, and affordably! I have a home warranty, that wouldn't cover my issue, and he jumped in and took care of me. If I ever had need again, I know who to call. Couldn't recommend John's any higher!!!

Mr. Teele arrived quickly, diagnosed our outage problem and fixed it that same afternoon. We have an older electrical system that many other electricians simply won't work with. But Mr. Teele confidently made repairs and even called to check on us the next day to ensure all was working well.

Danielle H Plott

Very dependable, professional, friendly and just good at what he does. John wired an addition for us and repaired my breaker box. He is friendly and trust worthy. I had no problem leaving full access to our home while we were away. I highly recommend him and his phone number will remain in my contacts. Job well done! Thanks again.

Aubrey upgraded our electrical fuse panel, put in an updated outside service panel, replaced the main service line from the outside panel to the inside fuse box, and installed several outlets. His original estimate was complete and accurate. He brought our electrical system up to code and made several recommendations for changes and upgrades that we had not thought of. He worked with our schedule, was on time and very professional, and left our home as clean as when he arrived. He was extremely conscientious and reliable. We very highly recommend John's Electric and will definitely use them again.

It was a great experience. Thanks would hire them again.
