B Whalen Electric - Kingston's Trusted Electricians

A comprehensive electrical inspection by B Whalen Electric assesses your home's entire system for storm vulnerabilities. We check for loose connections, outdated components, and proper grounding—common issues that can lead to failures or hazards during power surges and outages common in our area. Identifying and fixing these problems proactively can prevent damage to appliances and reduce the risk of electrical fires when power is restored.

This is a frequent issue in our area. Storm-related power surges can damage or degrade sensitive electronics and wiring, causing small, unintended electrical arcs that the AFCI detects as a hazard. Our inspection pinpoints the exact source, which is often in appliances, power strips, or wiring that sustained surge damage. We then repair or replace the faulty component and ensure your AFCI is functioning correctly to protect your home without unnecessary interruptions.

For Kingston's many historic and older homes, our inspection pays special attention to outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, insufficient grounding, and overloaded circuits. These systems are particularly susceptible to storm damage and are often not compatible with modern AFCI protection. We provide a clear assessment and practical upgrade options to enhance safety, prevent storm-related outages, and bring your electrical system up to current National Electrical Code standards.
