Electrical Contractor New York NY | Call Gilston Electrical Contracting

Older homes in NYC often have original wiring that may not meet modern safety codes and can degrade over time, leading to short circuits and fire hazards. Our inspection identifies outdated components, overloaded circuits, and insulation breakdown common in pre-war buildings, giving you a clear safety assessment and upgrade roadmap.

Absolutely. Rodent-chewed wires are a common, hidden danger in many New York buildings. During our inspection, we use specialized tools and visual checks in accessible areas to identify tell-tale signs of gnawing, exposed conductors, and nest-related damage that could cause shorts or outages, ensuring we find problems you can't see.

First, ensure safety by turning off the affected circuit at your breaker panel if you can do so safely. Then, contact us for an immediate inspection. We'll trace the fault's source—often found in aging outlets, switches, or damaged wire runs—and provide a permanent repair to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
