Granata Electric | Experienced Electrical Contractor in Norwalk, CT

An electrical inspection from our licensed team will thoroughly examine your home's wiring system. For older Norwalk homes, we specifically check for the presence of aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time due to connection loosening and corrosion. We identify any unsafe connections or outdated components and provide a clear, expert recommendation for remediation—whether that's installing specialized connectors (AlumiConn™) or a complete rewiring—to ensure your family's safety.

Absolutely. While power strips offer limited protection, a professionally installed whole-house surge protector is your first and best defense. It's installed at your main electrical panel and stops damaging voltage spikes from entering your home's wiring in the first place. This protects all your major appliances and electronics—from HVAC systems and refrigerators to computers and TVs—from the erratic power surges that can occur in our area, saving you from costly repairs or replacements.

Our comprehensive inspection goes beyond just checking outlets. We examine your electrical panel for proper capacity and safety, test ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in kitchens and bathrooms, ensure all wiring connections are secure and to code, and look for signs of overloaded circuits or improper DIY work. Given local concerns, we pay special attention to wiring types and whole-system integrity to guard against both aluminum wiring risks and surge-related damage, providing you with a complete safety assessment.
