When should you not consider kitchen electrical work?
There are some instances where upgrading or maintaining the current wiring can cause more harm than good. If there is an issue with the overall structure of your homes such as crumbling walls and foundations, we advise that it’s best to leave installation jobs alone until after you have repaired those issues first. Also, if a house has a history of being struck by lightning frequently, homeowners should avoid additional installations – especially anything involving water near outlets because this will increase their risk of being electrocuted during storms. We suggest having these types of jobs done by us.

Kitchen electrical safety tips
Be wary of outlets
Pantech Kitchens provides an outlet installation service that ensures that every countertop in your home has accessible power for all appliances and small electronics needed throughout the day, but is sure to use caution whenever plugging anything into these new outlets. It is always important to keep track of where they are located so you know exactly how much wire needs to be pulled before connecting them!
Watch your cords
Pantech Kitchens provides a variety of wired and wireless kitchen gadgets to make your life easier. You should always be aware of how much wire is needed for each appliance, otherwise, you risk the chance of overloading an outlet or causing a fire hazard as well as tripping hazards!
Check for quality
Pantech Kitchens ensure that all materials used are top-notch to provide you with safe appliances that can last through years’ worth of use. Be sure to avoid purchasing any products from secondhand stores or garage sales because they may contain electrical malfunctions which could potentially cause injuries if left unrepaired, not to mention they’re oftentimes more costly than buying new product replacements anyways.
Learn about electrical fires
Pantech Kitchens also educates their clients on kitchen electrical safety tips. One of the most common dangers is electrical fires which can be caused by appliances malfunctioning throughout use or from an overloaded circuit, both of these issues can easily be fixed with a quick trip to Pantech Kitchens!
Test your outlets
You should test all appliance plugs and outlets for proper functionality regularly to stay up-to-date about possible malfunctions before they cause any accidents. It’s important not only because faulty wiring could harm you but it may even damage your home as well so check them regularly!
Use extension cords sparingly
Extension cords are meant for temporary use so if you see one becoming worn down or frayed, it’s time to replace it with a new extension cord. Using an outlet strip is also another option as they can provide multiple outlets to accommodate your appliances and protect them from power surges.
Be careful of water
Kitchen electrical work shouldn’t be done near any type of moisture including sinks, dishwashers, etc. This may seem like common sense but you would be surprised how many people don’t always pay attention! If working on kitchen electrical circuits make sure that there isn’t any standing water nearby because this could lead to electrocution which means death by the electric shock which most likely will not end up well…
Unplug appliances
Most appliances have a plug that you can use to unplug the appliance when not in use. This includes coffee makers, microwaves, dishwashers, etc.
Keep your kitchen clean
Another good practice for kitchen electrical safety is to keep your kitchen clean. This means that you should always take out the trash and dispose of it properly, not let dishes pile up in the sink because this could lead to a water hazard which can cause problems with appliances or even electrocution!
Schedule an electrical evaluation
If you feel like any of these tips may be useful then schedule a professional assessment and get them done correctly right away! By doing this you will ensure that there won’t be any issues down the road.
