Electrical Panel Upgrade
What is an electrical panel?
The electrical panel provides electricity to appliances in your home. Power from the utility company flows into the home through this panel, then branches out into major electrical branches, dwindling into smaller branches to distribute power. A properly functioning electrical panel is essential to the safety of your family and home.
Reasons you may need an upgrade:
Renovations:
Particularly in the kitchen, which is appliance-heavy.
New addition of major appliances; central heating and air, stoves, spas, garage power equipment, and more.
Adding outlets to your home.
If have one of the below electrical panels; which are known to deteriorate and pose possible safety issues:
• Federal Pacific Electrical Panel
• Zinsco Electrical Panel
• Pushmatic Electrical Panel
• Fuse Box
Home showing these signs:
Need to turn off one appliance to use another.
Appliances running at less than full power.
Two pronged (non-grounded) outlets.
Home not equipped with GFCI's (ground fault circuit interrupters) in necessary areas.
Types of Upgrades:
Range from installing additional circuit breakers in existing box to adding a subpanel for expansion. Replacing an old fuse box or inadequate panel to provide higher energy capacity.
I can evaluate the condition of your current panel to determine the best course for you. We work closely with RG&E to arrange service cut-off and turn on. We arrange for inspection as required. Generally a service upgrade is completed in one day; allowing for as little inconvenience to you and your family as possible.
Pilosi Electric has experience doing service upgrades. A service upgrade will increase the value of your home in years to come.

Ceiling Fans
Several things to consider when installing a ceiling fan:
Is ceiling fan installed on a flat or sloped ceiling?
Height of ceiling to determine if flush mount or down rod is best.
New installation or replacing existing fixture?
Control for fan-wall switch, remote control, or pull string?
Access to fan-attic access, bedroom above, etc. . . .
We have experience installing all types of ceiling fans in many locations. Customers enjoy ceiling fans year round-to keep warm air circulating evenly during winter months and also for the gentle breeze it creates during hot summer months.
Let Pilosi Electric upgrade your home/office with a new ceiling fan!

Bath Fans
A properly vented bath fan can extend the life of your roof and eliminate moisture in your bathroom.
Many pre-existing bath fans were vented directly into the attic. This can cause problems down the road in many ways. Pilosi Electric can verify the fan is properly vented. Newer bath fans are very efficient and quiet; we recommend a high quality fan such as a Panasonic or Broan.
This is a good project to have done before cold weather hits and you are no longer able to keep that window cracked open.
Call Pilosi Electric so we can install an efficient bath fan for you and your family.
Bathroom Fans
Smoke/Carb Detectors
Pilosi Electric installs both hard wired and battery operated smoke detectors.
Hard wired smoke detectors go off at the same time, alerting everyone at the same time if there is a fire threat. They also come with back-up batteries in case of power failure.
Smoke detectors should be installed on every level including outside rooms where people sleep. Smoke alarms should be replaced with new units every 8-10 years.
Take a survey of your home or business and if you need smoke detectors installed, give us a call.
