Cochrane Electric Suburban Division - Southampton's Qualified Electrical Services

Absolutely. While my primary title is Master Electrician and Electrical Contractor, I founded this business to offer homeowners a reliable, single source for various home repairs. After 40 years in the trade, I saw too many people overpaying for questionable work across different trades. To provide real peace of mind, we offer integrated handyman services, including basic plumbing, drywall repair, carpentry, and painting. This means for a project involving both electrical and other work—like installing a new light fixture and patching the surrounding drywall—you can trust one experienced local team to handle it all correctly and efficiently.

In Southampton-area homes, a frequent cause of nuisance trips in arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) is loose electrical connections, often found in outlets or switches. Over time, thermal expansion and contraction can cause wires to loosen, creating a small arc that the sensitive breaker detects as a hazard. Our process starts with a thorough safety inspection of the affected circuit. We systematically check and tighten all connections, ensuring they are secure and meet code. Often, this resolves the issue. If the problem persists, we can diagnose other potential causes, like damaged wire insulation or a faulty appliance, providing a clear explanation and a reliable fix to restore power and safety to your home.

Yes, we are experienced in residential EV charging station installation. As a licensed electrical contractor, we handle the entire process to ensure it's safe, code-compliant, and meets your vehicle's needs. The service typically involves assessing your home's electrical panel capacity to support the new circuit, running the proper gauge wiring from the panel to your desired location (like a garage or driveway), and installing a dedicated outdoor-rated circuit. We also handle any necessary permits for Southampton and Bucks County. This is a precise electrical job—not a simple plug-in—and having a master electrician perform it guarantees the installation protects your home's electrical system and your new vehicle investment.
