Q&A
I had water damage near an electrical outlet in my Boston home. What should I do?
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. First, turn off power to that circuit at your main panel. Then, call a licensed electrician like IB Electric immediately. We can safely inspect the water-damaged electrical box, wiring, and outlet for corrosion and safety hazards. Often, the components need to be replaced to prevent fire risk or future malfunction, which is a repair we handle regularly for local homeowners.
My smart doorbell or lights are malfunctioning. Could it be an electrical wiring issue?
Yes, smart home devices often fail due to underlying wiring problems, not the device itself. Fluctuating voltage, poor connections at the outlet or fixture, or incompatible wiring can all cause malfunctions. IB Electric can diagnose the issue by checking the circuit, verifying proper voltage, and ensuring the installation meets the manufacturer's specifications. We repair or upgrade the wiring to get your smart home features working reliably again.
With Boston's older homes and storm-related power issues, should I consider a generator installation?
Absolutely. A standby or portable generator installation is a smart investment for Boston-area homes to maintain power during outages. IB Electric can assess your home's electrical panel and critical circuits to recommend the right generator size. We handle the full installation, including proper wiring and connection to your panel via a transfer switch, ensuring it operates safely and automatically when you need it most.
