Upgraded Electrical Protection: Dedicated Sump Pump Circuit Installed in Genesee Home

When a Genesee, ID homeowner needed a dedicated circuit to power a newly added sump pump during basement repairs, Cheetah Electric stepped in to handle the electrical work. Our certified technicians, Dennis and Luke, responded quickly and arrived within an hour to keep the repair project on schedule.

The primary task was installing a dedicated circuit for the sump pump so the new equipment would have a reliable, safe power source. Dennis and Luke worked efficiently at the property to add the new circuit and integrate it carefully with the existing electrical setup. Their goal was to make sure the sump pump had the capacity it needed and that the system would operate reliably once the pump was in use.

While performing the installation, the technicians found outdated and dangerous wiring in the basement. This wiring presented a serious fire risk if left unaddressed. The discovery changed the scope of the visit, because safety had to come first before the new circuit could be trusted to carry the load safely.

Dennis and Luke updated the hazardous wiring and corrected the identified risks. They replaced or remedied the unsafe components they found, returning the affected areas to a safe condition. After completing the repairs, they rechecked the work to ensure the electrical system was safe and ready to handle the new sump pump circuit.

Because the wiring issues were addressed promptly, the homeowner avoided further delays to the broader basement repair project. The quick arrival of the technicians and their focused attention helped the repair crew stay on schedule, which was an important part of the overall job timeline.

The homeowner expressed strong appreciation for the prompt service, attention to detail, and the team’s commitment to preventing future problems. They specifically noted that Dennis and Luke may have prevented a fire by finding and correcting the dangerous wiring before it caused harm.

This project shows how a straightforward service like installing a dedicated circuit can also reveal hidden safety concerns. Cheetah Electric handled both the new sump pump circuit installation and the necessary wiring updates in a single visit, prioritizing safety and reliability for the homeowner.

If you are working on basement repairs or adding equipment that needs its own power source, consider having a certified electrician evaluate the existing wiring. The technicians from Cheetah Electric are available in Genesee, ID to assess wiring, install dedicated circuits, and address any hazards uncovered during the work.
