Electrician Leawood Overland Park Remodeling

Remodeling is a skill honed over years of training and experience. Very few electricians are capable of completing a remodel whether it be a commercial building or residence, in the time allowed and cleaning completed.
We respect your time and space, and never leave traces of work for an indiviual or business to clean after us.

Our goal at All Tech Electric & Contracting LLC is to complete the project i.e. wiring home additions, bathroom updating, gaming rooms, garage additions, as well as can lights, under cabinet lighting, interior/exterior security lights, receptacles, completely new circuits, ceiling fans, panel upgrades, hot tubs, dimmer switches and systems, or just doing repair work- all without a trace of our work left for clean up. We take pride in our abilities to make the customer satisfied by project completion.

When Should You Hire An Electrician / Kansas City


When Should You Hire An Electrician

It is easy to know when to hire an electrician. Some of the jobs in many homes are just to much and you must have the proper understanding and knowledge of how to fix and repair them. Electricity can be very dangerous and is not worth taking the risk of being hurt by doing a job that you are not sure how to do in the first place. Whenever you need repairs or installations to the electrical components in your home it is best to hire a professional electrician to do the work for you.


Don’t ever try and do this kind of work yourself or have a friend or family member to do the work for you. Even though they may think that they can do this kind of job, they are not a skilled professional electrician and could still get hurt if not done properly. Some people can manage to do simple work such as installing a light fixture. But they even have to be careful doing this, and make sure that all of the wires are connected properly with the light fixture.
For small jobs like this in your home it is good to have a skilled professional come out and inspect for any mistakes you have made. And make sure everything works well. If you are handy at doing these small jobs you have to watch out because you can still overload a circuit without knowing it, just by adding new light fixtures. This is also true about installing new wall outlets, they can also overload a circuit.

Sometimes when electrical components are first installed during construction, there may have been a faulty problem with the work. And if you add a new light fixture or wall outlet this will just aggravate the problem making it worse then before. This could cause you to damage the new fixture or even an appliance. And in worse cases this could start a fire in your home. A professional electrician is trained to understand and look at the your whole electrical layout. And then will know exactly what you will need and how they can do the job.

Electric Work


If you want to install dimmer switches or replace an old ceiling light with a new ceiling fan, go right ahead. Upgrading existing devices and fixtures is an inexpensive necessity in redecorating or improving task lighting, and energy smart.

However, when it comes to extending existing electrical circuits or adding new ones, call in an experienced, licensed electrician. When homeowners start messing around with electrical circuits and running new cables, there are two likely outcomes and both are potentially lethal: electrical shock and fire.

All aspects of electrical work--from wire nuts to cable connectors--are governed by very strict codes. Violate even a single code and you're asking for trouble.

When in doubt, always hire a professional!!

Kitchen Lighting Design

Suggested kitchen lighting design: use the "layers" technique:
1.The ambient layer: The general overhead lighting in a room.
2.The task layer: Under-cabinet lighting, for example, or a light over the sink or over an island.
3.The focal layer: Used to highlight objects such as pieces of art, architectural details, etc.
4.The decorative layer: This layer is used purely for fun. It's meant to enhance the overall interior design.

Up Lighting

The most common use of up lighting is in a recessed cove around the top perimeter of a room image #1

Kitchen Lighting: Brilliance on a Budget
Adding quality lighting to your kitchen doesn't have to involve big, expensive fixtures or exhaustive remodeling, as long as you think carefully about what you want to accomplish and then use a little creativity.
 

Electricity Safety

If electrical circuits and electrical equipment have gotten wet or are in or near water, turn off the power at the main breaker or fuse on the service panel. Do not enter standing water to access the main power switch. Call an electrician to turn it off.
Never turn power on or off yourself or use an electric tool or appliance while standing in water. Do not turn the power back on until electrical equipment has been inspected by a qualified electrician. All electrical equipment and appliances must be completely dry before returning them to service. Have a certified electrician check these items if there is any question.

Kitchen/ Electrician/ Renovation

Electrical wiring for a kitchen renovation project is one of the most hazardous, and consequential aspects and needs a certain level of expertise to be properly executed.
