Navigating the complexities of residential electrical wiring can be daunting for homeowners in the Kansas City metro area. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating an old one, or simply updating your electrical system, understanding the types of wiring and installation processes is crucial. JMC Electric brings expert knowledge and quality service to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe, efficient, and tailored to your needs.

Types of Residential Electrical Wiring

Conduit Wiring: Widely used in both new constructions and renovations, conduit wiring offers durability and protection. Metal or plastic tubes called conduits are used to encase and protect the wires. This type of wiring is favored for its safety features, as the conduit shields the wires from damage and reduces the risk of electrical fires.

Non-Metallic (NM) Cable: Commonly referred to as Romex, NM cable is a type of flexible wiring enclosed in a plastic sheath. It is one of the most common wiring types used in residential properties due to its ease of installation and cost-effectiveness. NM cable is typically used for indoor wiring and is not suitable for exposure to outdoor elements.

Underground Feeder (UF) Cable: Similar to NM cable, UF cable is encased in a material that makes it suitable for wet locations and direct burial without conduit. This makes it ideal for outdoor lighting and other exterior power needs.

Installation Processes

Planning and Assessment: Every successful wiring project begins with a thorough assessment and planning phase. JMC Electric’s skilled electricians evaluate your home’s current electrical system, discuss your needs, and plan the installation to meet local codes and your personal requirements. This step ensures that all wiring is strategically placed and capable of handling your future electrical load.

Installation: The installation process involves running wires through walls, ceilings, and floors. Our electricians use the latest tools and techniques to install wiring efficiently and with minimal disruption to your home. Safety is our top priority, and we ensure all wiring is properly insulated and secured.

We ensure that every component of your electrical system meets or exceeds local electrical codes and regulations.
