Creating a Safe Escape Route for Electricity
Electricity is always looking for the easiest way to get to the ground (the dirt under your house). If your system is working correctly, it stays inside the wires. But if something breaks, that electricity might try to go through a person or a machine to get to the earth. “Grounding” is a special safety system that gives that extra energy a safe “emergency exit” straight into the ground so it doesn’t hurt anyone.
Sometimes electricity gets “lost” and wants to jump out of the wires to reach the dirt. We build a special “safety slide” for it to use so it doesn’t give anyone a “zap” or start a fire. It’s like a big safety net that protects your whole house!
If your home was built a long time ago (before the 1970s), it might not have this life-saving system. This can be very dangerous for your modern gadgets like computers and TVs, which can be ruined by a power surge. At Electrical Services FL, we can test your home to see if it’s properly grounded. If it’s not, we can install a “ground bar” to give your entire electrical panel the protection it needs.
We also pay special attention to “wet” areas like your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Since water and electricity are a bad mix, we install special outlets called GFCIs. These outlets have a tiny brain inside that can “sense” if electricity is going somewhere it shouldn’t. If it senses a problem, it turns itself off in less than a second to prevent a shock or a fire.
Your family’s safety is the most important thing to us. We treat every home we enter with extreme care because every client is important. We are available for emergencies if you feel a “tingle” from an appliance or see sparks. Plus, our grounding work is guaranteed for life. We want you to feel totally safe every time you plug something in.
