J & S Security and Electric - Meriden's Local Electrical Services

Our thorough inspection focuses on Meriden-specific risks. We meticulously check for signs of deteriorating underground service lines, test for the presence of outdated and hazardous aluminum wiring, and assess your entire system for overloaded circuits, faulty grounding, and outdated panels. We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations to bring your home up to modern safety standards.

Homes built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s often used aluminum wiring, which can loosen at connections over time, creating overheating and fire hazards. Our electricians are trained in the specific repair methods approved for aluminum wiring, such as installing COPALUM crimp connectors or AlumiConn lugs at all termination points. This permanent solution mitigates the risk without the need for a full rewire in many cases.

In Meriden, flickering lights, especially during wet weather, can be a key indicator of a compromised underground service cable. Moisture seeping into damaged insulation causes shorts and voltage drops. Our inspection includes testing service entrance cables. If damage is found, we can safely replace the underground line from the utility connection to your meter, restoring stable and safe power to your home.
