What Are Code Upgrades

It is important that you keep up with current codes with your older home. Electrical code maintenance and upgrades ensures that your system complies with current electrical codes and restrictions, as they've changed a lot in the past 20 years. This mainly involves inspecting your meter and panel and making necessary upgrades. A new panel or panel modifications may be necessary. Some code upgrades include:

  • Ground fault outlets, which protects you from shock
  • Arc fault outlets, which protects wiring from dangerous arc conditions.
  • Outside cord protective covers, which water-proofs your wiring.
  • Tamper resistant outlets, which also protects you from shock.

Why They’re Important
