Whether you’re a carpenter, metal worker or ceramics artist, having your own workshop is likely at the top of your dream list. So, those who have luckily found a home with a backyard workshop, or who have built their own from scratch, are usually very excited about the possibilities. Unfortunately, the honeymoon is short lived for many. As people’s skills improve and more tools and equipment are acquired, countless property owners are disappointed to find that the electrical system for their work space is no longer adequate. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we provide premium electrical services in Fort Worth, Arlington, Burleson, Benbrook, Aledo, Weatherford and other nearby neighborhoods. We enjoy helping our local clients accomplish their goals, and we want you to do the same. Here are a few suggestions for how you can upgrade the electricity in your workshop, and get back to creating your masterpieces.
GFCI Outlets
Older workshops may not have GFCI outlets installed. While swapping out your old outlets for GFCI’s won’t provide extra power, it will help ensure your safety. Workshops, garages and converted sheds are not always as structurally sound as the home itself, especially if they’ve been standing for a decade or more. Therefore, they are more likely to be exposed to the elements, and to excess moisture during severe weather. GFCI outlets will help you and your loved ones avoid personal injury and will provide extra protections against short circuits and electrical fires.
Dedicated Circuits
Do you have specialized equipment or appliances that need a lot of power? Then it can be frustrating to try and keep it running while other devices are on. If you would like to use your table saw and keep the lights on at the same time, then you may need to install a dedicated circuit.
Power Upgrades
Are your current lines all running on 15 amps? It can be difficult to give power tools the energy they need with lower voltage. And, overloading your system on a regular basis can create safety hazards and damage expensive equipment. Upgrading your lines to 20 Amps or adding a 240-volt outlet will probably help elevate your electrical system to a level that meets your needs.
Solar Panels
Are you using a workshop space with no electricity at all? Have you been running an extension cord through your backyard every time you want to work on a project? You may want to consider adding solar panels to your workshop roof. This will create an off the grid system that will provide the right amount of power, without adding to your monthly utility costs.
Why Hire a Certified Electrician for Your Workshop Makeover?
While there are many user-friendly DIY home improvement projects, electrical work is best left to those with professional experience. Improper installation can lead to a host of problems, including fires, damaged electronics, electrocution and more. When you hire a certified Fort Worth electrician for your electrical upgrades, you’ll be sure to get the job done safely, quickly and affordably.
