Allentown Climate Considerations (cold)

    Outlet & Switch Installation in Allentown

    As a homeowner in Allentown, PA, you're likely no stranger to the challenges that come with a cold climate. With annual rainfall of 35" and 45" of snowfall, our city experiences unique seasonal risks that can impact your home's electrical system. For instance, heavy leaf fall can clog gutters and downspouts, leading to water accumulation and potential damage to your home's foundation or basement.

    During the winter months, the risk of ice dams forming on your roof is a significant concern. These ice formations can cause water to back up into your home, potentially leading to costly repairs. Additionally, with temperatures often dropping below freezing, there's a higher likelihood of frozen pipes and burst plumbing, which can be catastrophic if not addressed promptly. Furthermore, the median age of homes in Allentown is 1951, meaning many homes have outdated electrical systems that may not meet modern safety standards.

    Given these climate-specific challenges, upgrading or installing new outlets and switches can provide peace of mind for homeowners. Our service includes adding outlets where needed, replacing outdated two-prong outlets with grounded three-prong, and installing USB outlets or smart switches. With a cost range of $150-$400, this upgrade is an affordable way to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and functional, even in the face of harsh winter conditions.
