Many people want to improve their existing homes instead of going through the process of buying a new home and moving. The amount of wiring that is required is different from project to project. Your home remodel and rehab wiring can range from new wiring for the construction area alone, or may extend to other parts of your home that are not a direct part of the remodel. Examples of this are things such as upgrading the entire home’s smoke detectors, all the way to upgrading the size of your electrical service. All these variables are reviewed and discussed in full detail by a master electrician for every project that Cross Electric is involved in.

One of the first questions you need to consider with the installation of  residential stand by generators is, “what size generator do I need to power my home?” The answer to that question comes after you determine what exactly you want to remain powered when the normal utility has an outage. The more things you want to stay powered will increase the size of the generator needed for that task. Stand by generators come in kilowatt or KW sizes (14KW, 18KW, 20KW  etc…) Most people want their stand by generators to power the circuits that control the heating and air conditioning, kitchen,fridge, and general lighting and receptacles. Other people want their stand by generators to power everything in their home.

What ever your need for stand by generators is, Cross Electric is here for you. Our generator services include but are not limited to:

• Initial consultation and assessment of electrical needs
• Generator installation
• Generator panel installation

For those customers that need a 200 amp service upgrade in Maryland, we would like to go over the simple process of bringing your job to a successful completion. Cross Electric will start the project by removing you electrical meter so that we can safely remove your old electric panel and all existing wiring in that panel. Your new panel is then installed and the wiring of your new panel can begin. One of the major components of your 200 amp service upgrade is the installation of a larger service entrance cable. This is the large gray wire that is usually seen on the outside of most houses. It runs from the meter to the top of the building (for overhead services only) and connects to the triplex wire from the local utility company’s pole. The new service entrance cable is installed and the existing wires for your circuits are wired into the new panel.

Grounding for 200 amp service upgrades in Maryland always has to updated for the larger service. Depending on the county you reside in, you will need one or two ground rods driven 8 ft into the ground. You will also need a larger wire run to the location where your water service enters your home ( If the water piping in your home is 100% PVC, then this wire is not requierd). After Cross Electric completes this work, the job is inspected by the local electrical inspector, who then notifies the local utility company that the job has been properly completed. The local utility company will then schedule to come to the job and make all final terminations to complete the job.

You should expect to be out of power for no longer than four hours on the day of installation, and about thirty minutes on the day the local utility company completes their work. Cross Electric handles all paperwork and scheduling with local inspectors and utilities, to make all 200 amp service upgrades in Maryland a stress free process for all of our customers. So, if you need a 200 amp service upgrade in Maryland, contact Cross Electric for a free price quote today.

The type of additions and renovations that you plan on having for your home that will increase your electrical demand if you are adding significant square footage or more electrical equipment. More square footage can mean that you need a larger heating and air conditioning system or a second system all together. This can be a very large load increase on your electrical system especially if the heating for the system is electric instead of gas. Adding more appliances that are electric can force you into having an electrical service upgrade as well.

Additions and renovations can add more of an electrical demand on your service. Sometimes the additions and renovations will force you to have an electrical service upgrade, and sometimes they will not. We go over many aspects of your proposed project to ensure that your current electrical service is capable to safely handle any additional loads that you may requier. If you do not need an electrical service upgrade for additions and renovations, then Cross Electric will not sell you on the idea that you DO need one.

The areas they cover are limited to receptacles that are not grounded, GFCI receptacles that are missing and more than one wire on a breaker. These items need to be corrected, but the electrical safety inspections are conducted by inspectors with limited knowledge of the electrical trade.
