Cluff Electric - Berwick's Reliable Electrical Company

Warm or discolored outlets in older homes are often a sign of overheating, which can be caused by outdated wiring unable to handle modern electrical loads or loose connections. This is a common issue in our area. Cluff Electric can perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the specific problem. Our solution typically involves repairing or replacing the faulty outlets and, if necessary, upgrading the underlying wiring or circuit to ensure safety and prevent potential fire hazards, bringing your home's electrical system up to current standards.

Absolutely. As a full-service electrical contractor, Cluff Electric handles the complete installation of residential EV charging stations. Owner Robert Cluff's extensive training and licensing across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts mean we are well-versed in the specific electrical code requirements and power needs for these installations. We'll assess your home's electrical panel capacity, recommend the right charger for your needs, and perform a safe, professional installation, including any necessary panel upgrades or new circuit runs to ensure optimal charging performance and safety.

An electrical panel upgrade involves replacing your home's main service panel and circuit breakers with a new unit of higher capacity. Many older homes in our area have 100-amp panels that are insufficient for today's simultaneous use of appliances, HVAC systems, and electronics. This can lead to frequent breaker trips. An upgrade to a 200-amp panel, which we commonly perform, provides the safe, reliable capacity needed for modern living and future additions like generators or EV chargers. As Master Electricians, we handle the entire process, including securing any necessary local permits, ensuring the installation meets all safety codes, and minimizing disruption to your home.
