Electricians Branford CT | Call Aegis Electrical Systems

Common signs in older Branford homes include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, discolored outlets, or a burning smell. Aging wiring is a serious fire hazard. Aegis provides comprehensive electrical inspections to assess the condition of your entire system. We'll identify any unsafe wiring, aluminum wiring issues common in older builds, or overloaded circuits and recommend a clear plan for safe replacement or upgrade to modern, code-compliant materials, giving you peace of mind.

Damaged underground cables, often from corrosion, soil shifts, or excavation work, can cause partial or complete power loss and are a safety risk. The process involves our team carefully excavating to the damaged section, removing the old cable, and installing a new, durable direct-burial rated cable from the utility connection to your main electrical panel. We coordinate with the local utility, handle all permits, and restore your landscaping. Aegis ensures the new installation meets all current safety standards for reliable, long-term power delivery.

Consider an upgrade if your panel is an old fuse box or a low-amperage breaker panel (like 60 or 100 amps), if you're frequently resetting breakers, planning a major renovation, or adding high-demand appliances. Modern homes require 200-amp service for safety and capacity. Aegis Electric installs new, UL-listed electrical panels that provide ample, safe power distribution for your household's needs. A panel upgrade by our licensed electricians resolves these issues, improves home safety, and often satisfies insurance requirements for older Branford homes.
