Columbus, Dayton & Cincinnati, Ohio Electrical Wire Grounding

If you own a home, your electrical grounding is a backup pathway that provides an alternating route for the current of electricity to flow back into the ground when there’s a fault in the wiring system. Grounding facilitates a physical connection between the ground and the electrical equipment, wiring, outlets, and appliances in your home.

Electrical grounding directs any excess electricity to the ground via the ground wire. Your home’s grounding wire is an essential safety component in your electrical system. Grounding wires discharge excess electricity safely to the ground so that it doesn’t cause injuries, damage, or fires. If you aren’t sure if your home’s electrical system is properly grounded or if you’re concerned your grounding might be outdated, you should call Five Star Home Services so we can help. We offer affordable electrical grounding services throughout Greater Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and surrounding areas all year long.

  • 4 Reasons Why Ground Wire is Important

    Safety

    Grounding electrical circuits are essential for safety. Grounding protects you and your home from the dangers of damaged circuits or electrical overloads. If there’s a power surge, the excess electricity introduced into the system can leap out of the wiring. You already know this isn’t good. Without an electrical grounding in place, this stray voltage can create a fire and shock bystanders.

    Prolongs Lifespan of Equipment

    Protecting appliances and electrical equipment from power surges also helps make everything last longer and function better. Grounding is one of the most critical safety measures protecting contemporary home electrical systems.

    Protects Electronics

    Proper grounding protects your home’s expensive electronics in addition to your electrical system, even in case of a massive power surge or lightning strike. Do you know how much it costs to rewire a home? Not to mention the price of replacing a giant flatscreen TV or electronics. Grounding prevents voltage from arcing to other conductive materials such as metal and water.

    Protects Electrical System

    As we noted, grounding wires also prevent voltage from overloading and damaging your electrical components in your electrical system, in addition to your appliances. No one wants to have to pay a licensed electrician to come over and have to replace electrical equipment in the home.

    Electrical Grounding Services in Cincinnati, Dayton, & Columbus, OH

    Keep in mind, electrical grounding isn’t something you will notice when it isn’t working or isn’t installed. Your appliances and lights and electronics will operate normally without the ground wire because electrical grounding isn’t a part of the conducting path that supplies electricity to your home’s appliances. In fact, if the ground wire is removed or broken, you will normally not be able to tell the difference. So how do you know if your electricity is grounded?

    One way to check to see if your electrical system is grounded or not is to look at your power outlets. If there are three prongs in the outlet, your system should have three wires. One of those wires is supposed to be the grounding wire. If you had a professional electrician install your outlets and install your ground wire, you should be ok. If you aren’t sure, we suggest calling our residential grounding experts at Five Star Home Services today at (833) 405-8009.
