Experienced Electrical Company in Salem, OR 97306 - Brooks Electric

Arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breakers are safety devices required in modern homes that trip when they detect dangerous electrical arcing, which is a common fire hazard. In older Salem homes with aging wiring, or in rooms with appliances like vacuums or power tools, nuisance trips can occur. Our electricians at Brooks Electric are experts in local electrical codes and diagnostics. We can pinpoint whether the issue is with a specific appliance, a wiring fault, or the breaker itself. We'll perform a thorough inspection and provide a safe, lasting repair or replacement to restore power and ensure your home's electrical system is operating safely.

Installing a whole-house generator is a smart investment for Salem residents to maintain power during our occasional winter storms and wind events. As an official Generac dealer, Brooks Electric handles the entire process. We start with a consultation to determine the right generator size based on your home's essential circuits. Our licensed team manages the critical electrical connections, including installing a dedicated transfer switch and integrating it with your home's main electrical panel. We ensure the installation meets all local codes and permitting requirements, providing you with a seamless, automatic backup power system you can rely on.

Installing a Level 2 EV charger at your Salem home typically requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what powers an electric dryer or oven. Our process at Brooks Electric begins with an assessment of your main electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity for the new circuit. We then run the proper gauge wiring from the panel to your desired charging location, install a new circuit breaker, and mount the charging unit. We handle all necessary permits and ensure the installation is up to current National Electric Code standards, providing you with a safe, efficient, and fast way to charge your vehicle at home.
