Wiring Retrofits/Rewiring

Today’s homes require advanced electrical wiring capable of plugging into new technology and equipment while running more efficiently. Retrofitting ensures that old and outdated wiring setups can be upgraded so that homeowners can enjoy all the benefits of 21st-century technologies like smart home controls. Our expert installers can handle any residential or commercial rewiring job needed to modernize your electrical wiring system.

GFCI Outlet Installation and Outlet Upgrades

A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) prevents accidental electrocution from faults in the wiring system. If your home is older than 20 years old, you might need to upgrade your electrical outlets to GFCI. The electrical code recommends installing GFCI outlets in areas where water might come into contact with your appliances, like the kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and laundry rooms.

Switches

Since its invention, the electrical switch has played a central role in our daily lives by helping us access electricity and granting us the power to control its usage. Having the right switches is vital for your safety, and correct installation saves you money in the long run. If you need help installing a switch or picking the right product, contact us, and our expert electricians will come to you. We will inspect your home, recommend products that will meet your needs, and ensure that installation goes by the electrical code.

Outlet Installation

Electrical outlets bring better access to electricity. Incorrect installation can limit outlet functionality and put you at risk of electrocution. Should you need to install or replace one in your home, it’s good to consult an electrician to find out what product suits your needs and the safest way to install it. At Aquarius Home Services, we can handle any socket installation or upgrade such as:

• Switching from ungrounded 2-prong to grounded 3-prong outlets
• Installing outlets with built-in USB ports
• Upgrading to switched outlets
• Upgrading to high-amperage sockets for handling increased electrical loads
• GFCI and AFCI socket installations
• Smart socket installation

Dimmer Switch Installation

A dimmer switch controls the brightness of lighting by adjusting voltage levels. Installing one adds convenience to your life and saves you money on electricity bills. If you need to replace your light switches with dimmers, our expert technicians will come to you as long you’re in Minnesota. We will ensure that the upgrade makes your home safer and meets the National Electrical Code requirements.

Kitchen Appliances Wiring

The kitchen experiences one of the heaviest electrical usages in any residence. It is the most complex part of the house as far as wiring goes, with multiple electrical circuits needed to support your appliances. At Aquarius Home Services, we will assess all your electrical needs to develop a wiring plan that serves your current usage and make provisions for any appliances you might need in the future. We will also retrofit your older kitchen to accommodate modern electrical equipment.

Fireplace Wiring

Are you planning to upgrade from a traditional wood fireplace? Electrical furnaces offer an innovative and cleaner heating option for your home. They are low on maintenance, require little to no cleaning, and work in almost any setting. At your request, our installers will come to your Minnesota home, advise on the installation that fits your space, and ensure it’s done according to code.

Pool Wiring

Pools require some electrical equipment to maintain, like water pumps and lighting. Like every other area where water comes into close contact with electricity, electrical wiring for pools should follow the Electrical Code, and it’s far better to contract a licensed professional to work on your project. Our technicians have wired swimming pools for many homeowners across Minnesota by following high safety standards, helping them pass state inspections.

Panel Upgrade

Rising electrical demands might call for upgrading the main electrical panel in your home. If you need to know whether it’s time for an upgrade, contact us, and we’ll send one of our experts to assess your current consumption and estimate your future needs. A qualified electrician must do the main electrical panel installation.

Fuse Box Upgrade

If your fuses blow frequently, it might be a sign that you need to upgrade the fuse box. Upgrading may also be necessary for older homes or when you have newly-built extensions. Our highly recommended electrical professional will help you with everything to do with fuse box wiring and installation.

Electric Meter Replacement

It might be time for an upgrade if your electric meter box is falling apart or if the current one doesn’t support your home with enough power. At Aquarius Home Services, our technicians will help you find products backed by great warranties and install them following the highest safety standards.
