Install Dedicated Circuits - Electrical Contractors Near Severn, MD

A dedicated circuit is a separate electrical circuit that provides power to a specific device or appliance in a building. There are several reasons why someone might need a dedicated circuit, including safety, reliability, electrical code compliance, and improved performance.

Safety is a key factor for having a dedicated circuit, as it helps prevent overloading the electrical circuit and reduces the risk of circuit breaker trips or fires. Additionally, a dedicated circuit provides a separate power source for high-powered devices, ensuring that they have a consistent and reliable power source.

Electrical codes in some cases may require certain appliances or devices to have a dedicated circuit, especially for safety-critical devices such as smoke detectors or electrical panels. This helps to ensure that these devices receive a stable power source and function correctly in case of an emergency. Contact us for smoke detector installation, or a quote on the cost to install dedicated circuits to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and efficient. Call us today to have a quote from an electrician near you in Severn!

Bathroom Fans - New Installations & Repair

Bathroom fans are something many of us take for granted, but they are a crucial element in controlling humidity and moisture in your home. Many older homes have restrooms without a fan - we can install a new fan for you.  Newer homes may have a fan, but it's not working efficiently - or it's worn out and noisy.  Our relatively humid climate makes bathroom exhaust fans a must.  Installing bathroom fans is just one of the electrician services we offer near Severn.

Install or Reinstall Ceiling Fans

On a humid summer day, still air is hot air - and the simple act of installing a ceiling fan in your room can help keep you cool on hot summer days, or help circulate your winter heating more efficiently.  We install a lot of ceiling fans in new builds and older homes - call us for more information.

Attic Fan Installation in Severn

We install attic fans to regulate the temperature, humidity, and ventilation in your attic. Attics can get extremely hot in the summer, which can cause damage to your roof, and insulation, and make your entire home warmer in general. Proper attic fan installation can effectively cool down the temperature in your attic and prevent overheating, which can extend the life of your roof and make your entire home more comfortable.

Additionally, good ventilation in the attic can help prevent moisture buildup due to the muggy days we can experience in Severn during June, July, and August. This can lead to mold and mildew growth. By exhausting hot air out of the attic and drawing in cooler air, an attic fan can help regulate the temperature and prevent moisture buildup, leading to a healthier and more energy-efficient home.

Recent Severn Electrical Repair Work

Case Study: Power Loss Resolution

This electrical service call in a local city focused on resolving a persistent power loss issue that had been affecting the homeowner. The customer had reported frequent flickering lights and intermittent power outages, which raised concerns about the reliability of their electrical system.

Upon inspection, our technician discovered a serious issue within the main electrical panel. When the panel cover was removed, it became clear that parts of the panel had suffered extensive damage due to overheating. The breakers had melted, and the bus bar – the core component responsible for distributing electricity – was found to be severely damaged. Using an infrared camera, our team detected dangerous temperatures reaching 300°F at the bus bar and 284°F at the affected breakers.

As we continued to assess the situation, we noted that several breakers had melted, the service cable was showing signs of heat damage, and the bus bar had cracked. This damage, which could have been caused by either the failed breakers or the bus bar, created an unstable electrical environment, leading to the power loss the homeowner had been experiencing.

Given the extent of the damage and the risk of further electrical failure, the homeowner decided to replace the panel on the spot. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring your electrical system for signs of strain and taking action to prevent long-term power loss or potential hazards.

Case Study: Safe & Reliable Stairwell Lighting Restored

A Delaware homeowner reached out to Haas & Sons Electric after their basement stairwell lights stopped working properly. The 3-way switches at the top and bottom of the stairs weren’t functioning as they should, and the switch at the top was loose due to a broken device ring.

We replaced the faulty 3-way switches and installed a new device ring to properly secure the top switch. Once everything was tightened up and tested, the lighting worked smoothly from both locations again.

Now the homeowner has safe, reliable stair lighting and peace of mind. Even small issues like a bad switch or loose device can create safety concerns, especially on stairs. When something feels off, it’s always best to have it checked by a licensed electrician.

Everything was installed securely, tested for proper operation, and left looking sharp. It’s always a smart move to pair upgrades with a maintenance inspection to ensure your home stays safe, functional, and up to code.
