We're all in this together and thank you for your efforts to help "flatten the curve!"  Stay well and stay home as much as you can,  *The Wilcox Electric Team* --- As an essential business, Wilcox Electric remains open for business.  **We will always be available for electrical EMERGENCIES**.   *If you have an emergency, please call Steve Wilcox directly at 301-351-4033.* We appreciate the gravity of the coronavirus pandemic and will abide by the directive on 3/30/2020 from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan. He specifically instructs essential businesses to scale back their operations.  Accordingly, in occupied homes, Wilcox Electric will limit the types of electrical work that we perform until the current restrictions are lifted. We encourage you to let us know about your non-emergency projects via the [link provided here](https://www.wilcox-electric.com/contact) or by phone.  Our office staff are taking phone calls, from the office and also while working from home.  We would be so pleased to speak with you about your electrical needs, and would hope to schedule your work soon.  ### [Contact Us Now About Your Electrical Service Needs](https://www.wilcox-electric.com/contact) ### Our Public Health Safety Precautions For your safety and ours, we will continue to adhere to the CDC’s social distancing and personal hygiene guidelines.  There are additional precautions that we would like to introduce: 1. Our electricians are now wearing face masks, as newly recommended by the CDC. 2. Prior to the electrician’s arrival for a service call, we are asking that customers clean and disinfect counter surfaces, switches and receptacles in the areas in which the electricians would need to work.  We would also ask that personal belongings and furniture be moved away from these areas.   We appreciate your business and your help to contain the coronavirus.  *Thank you!  * [COVID-19](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/wilcox-electric/tag/covid-19) ## Related posts [![homerenovationwiringupgrades450x250](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/hs-fs/hubfs/homerenovationwiringupgrades450x250.png?height=200&name=homerenovationwiringupgrades450x250.png)](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/wilcox-electric/a-home-renovation-is-the-perfect-time-to-upgrade-wiring) [Home electrical projects](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/wilcox-electric/tag/home-electrical-projects), [Upgrade wiring](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/wilcox-electric/tag/upgrade-wiring) ## [A Home Renovation is the Perfect Time to Upgrade Wiring](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/wilcox-electric/a-home-renovation-is-the-perfect-time-to-upgrade-wiring) [Wilcox Electric](https://blog.wilcox-electric.com/wilcox-electric/author/wilcox-electric) Jul 3, 2019 12:33:13 PM A home renovation can be the ideal time to address any electrical issues your home may have.
