Expert Electrical Contractor in Huntington, NY 11743 - Jericho Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspection involves testing outlets, examining the main service panel, and checking for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, which are common in older Huntington homes. We look for frayed insulation, overloaded circuits, and improper grounding that pose serious fire risks. The inspection gives you a clear report on your system's condition and a prioritized plan for any necessary upgrades to ensure your home's safety.

In many Huntington homes, ceiling fans are installed into existing light boxes that may not be rated to support the fan's weight and vibration, leading to loose connections and failed wiring over time. Our electricians ensure the fan is securely mounted to a proper fan-rated box and that all connections are tight and safe. We also check the circuit to handle the added load, preventing flickering lights or tripped breakers and ensuring safe, reliable operation.

Common warning signs in Huntington's older properties include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights when appliances turn on, outlets that are warm to the touch or discolored, a persistent burning smell, or reliance on extension cords for basic power needs. If your home hasn't had its wiring assessed in over 10 years, a professional inspection from Jericho Electric is a proactive step to prevent hazards and plan for necessary updates.
