FAQs
What is involved in a professional electrical inspection from Dams Electric?
Our thorough electrical inspection is designed to ensure your New York home or business is safe and up to code. Our licensed electricians will examine your breaker panel for overloads, check wiring for wear or improper DIY repairs, test outlets and GFCIs, and assess your overall electrical system's capacity and safety. We provide a clear, detailed report of our findings and any recommended repairs to address violations or potential hazards, giving you peace of mind.
I have an older home in Brooklyn with outdated wiring. Can you help?
Absolutely. Older home rewiring is a specialty of ours. Many historic New York homes have electrical systems that can't handle modern demands, leading to overloaded panels and safety risks. Our team is experienced in carefully upgrading these systems while respecting the integrity of your home. We replace outdated wiring, install updated breaker panels with adequate capacity, and bring everything up to current NYC electrical codes, improving both safety and functionality.
My circuit breaker trips frequently. Is this a common issue in NYC, and how do you fix it?
Yes, frequent breaker trips are a very common issue we see, often caused by overloaded panels from added appliances or improper DIY wiring in tight living spaces. This is a serious safety warning. Our electricians will diagnose the root cause—whether it's an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or outdated wiring—and provide a reliable solution. This may involve rebalancing your electrical load, adding dedicated circuits, or upgrading your panel to safely meet your household's power needs and prevent future trips.
