Don’t Skimp on Outlets

A common mistake we see in home offices is homeowners shortchanging the number of electrical outlets they think they will need. There will be a considerable draw to your electrical services if you plan on fully transferring your office to your home. From computers and extra monitors to printers, lights, and other accessories your electrical draw will quickly add up. You can easily improve efficiency and eliminate headaches by overshooting the number of outlets you think you may need.

Plan Ahead and Design for Comfort

Just because you are creating a workspace does not mean you need to compromise comfort. From thoughtfully considering layout and placing outlets accordingly to considering creative electric heating and cooling solutions, your personal comfort should be at the front of your mind as you set up your home workspace.

Utilize Surge Protectors

When setting up your home office, utilize surge protectors to help protect any sensitive electronics from losing power without warning. Our residential electrician team is always happy to provide recommendations if you would like!

Use Hardwired Internet when Possible

While the convenience of WiFi is hard to beat, the speed and reliability of hardwired Internet is a necessity in a work-from-home environment. Utilizing this can be as simple as rerouting your current home internet situation to be based out of your office, or creating an Internet plan separate from that of the rest of your home. The electrical contractors at Wireman Electric are not IT professionals, but we can certainly help with the logistics and wiring when it comes to maximizing your online potential.

With combined decades of experience, the residential electrician team at Wireman Electric is well suited to handle all of your home electrical services needs. From our electrical repair service to helping with LED lighting upgrades, there is no job too large or too small. Time and time again we have proven to be able to adapt to a changing world, the most recent changes coming with the work from home revolution. Whether you need to adjust your home office or create one from the ground up, the electrical contractors at Wireman Electric are here for you.

Very friendly, fast and efficient. Charges by time but definitely doesn't waste time. The job was done within 5-10 minutes and everything is working as it should.

Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!

Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!

Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.
