Basic Dallas Electrical Wiring

Dallas electrician

Dallas electrician reminds you that besides safety considerations and regulations, the other thing you want to familiarize yourself with is the make up of your Dallas Texas home wiring. There are three basic components:

Service Entry which is the point in your DFW home where your electrical service goes from the main grid into your home. The entry lines should be at least 10 feet above the ground, inaccessible from windows, and free of obstructions such as tree limbs.

Electrical Panel installed by Dallas electrical contractor:  Your panel board is your control center when it comes to electrical wiring. Whether you’re installing a dishwasher or running wiring to a new addition, this is the place you visit to ensure electricity is cut off when you start your work, and where you install new breakers if you’re undergoing a major remodel at your Dallas FT Worth residence or commercial location.

Branch Circuits refers to the switches that isolate areas of areas of your home where your panel board directs electrical currents. It’s the reason you can cut power to your kitchen while leaving the rest of the house operational. Understanding where and how each branch circuit operates is critical to performing any basic house wiring project.
