Astoria Electric - Queens's Certified Electrical Services

Our inspections are thorough safety checks tailored to older Queens homes. We examine your breaker panel for capacity, test outlets for proper grounding, check wiring for wear or improper connections (common with DIY ceiling fan installs), and identify any code violations that could affect insurance or sales. It’s a detailed review to give you peace of mind and a clear plan for any needed updates.

In our Queens homes, especially older ones, this often points to an overloaded panel from added appliances or outdated wiring unable to handle modern demand. It can also be a specific faulty circuit or a short. We’ll diagnose the root cause—whether it’s simply redistributing loads, repairing a wiring issue, or recommending a panel upgrade to safely support your household’s needs.

Absolutely. This is a common issue we see locally, often due to improper original installation, loose mounting, or worn-out motors in older fixtures. We’ll secure the fan box, check all wiring connections, and ensure it’s correctly balanced. If it’s beyond repair, we can install a new one safely, adhering to current electrical codes for your home.
