Main Panel Upgrades
Known also as a service panel, your electrical panel is what controls all of the electricity within your home. This is what takes the electricity from your utility company and gives power to the outlets for all your appliances.
Inside your electrical panel are circuit breakers that control the flow of electricity. Breakers trip when too much electricity flows in. This is to help prevent wiring from melting and electrical fires.
If you have an outdated panel or have added new appliances to your home, it may be time for a panel upgrade. The electricians at Macrocosm Electric in the Triangle area can help!

Whole House Surge Protectors
An electrical surge is a sudden increase in power that flows through the wires of your home or business. Surges can cause damage to computers, phones, entertainment systems, microwaves, stoves, fridges, washers – any device that has electronic components such as sensors and timers. Today, that’s most appliances. A Whole House Surge Protector can save your appliances and electronic devices and save you thousands of dollars in damage.
Damage due to surges is not new. It’s always been the case that if the electric utility accidentally sent a surge of electricity through your wires, it could wipe out phones or appliances. However, today’s appliances with their electronic components are more sensitive. Smaller, more routine surges, can damage them. This is the reason that many people protect their computers with power strip surge protectors.
Aluminum Wiring Replacement
From the mid-1960’s into the early 1970’s, the electrical systems in many homes used aluminum wires instead of copper. The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 2,000,000 homes were built or renovated using aluminum wiring. Since the mid-1970’s, only copper wiring has been used because aluminum was found to pose a fire hazard. Avoid a possible fire hazard in your home by getting your aluminum wiring replacement serviced by Macrocosm Electric. Call (919)744-0761 and talk to our in house electrician, Haifa Srour, about replacing the aluminum wiring in your home today.

GFI Electrical Outlets
Let’s say your teen is using an electric drill outside and standing with bare feet in a puddle. Not a good idea. Electricity takes the path of least resistance, which just might be from the drill along arms and legs and into the puddle. If the drill were plugged into an ordinary outlet, this could be a fatal accident.
In recent years, the National Electric Code has included requirements for special outlets where such accidents could happen: pools, garages, kitchens, bathrooms, near spas, and in some other outdoor areas. These special outlets are called “GFIs” or “GFCIs” (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters). A GFI detects that the current in an appliance is no longer flowing in its proper circuit. It shuts off the current within milliseconds. In the case of our teen, if the drill were plugged into a GFI outlet, electrocution would be avoided — a life saved.
