Johnsons Contracting - Pottstown's Licensed Electrical Services

Electrical panel overheating in older Pottstown homes is often due to outdated wiring that can't handle modern appliance loads or loose connections. This is a serious fire hazard. Johnson's Contracting performs detailed electrical inspections to identify the root cause—whether it's an overloaded circuit, faulty breaker, or poor wiring. We then provide safe, code-compliant repairs or panel upgrades to restore safety and reliability to your home's electrical system.

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor and licensed electrician, we uniquely manage both aspects. When replacing your deck, we'll safely disconnect and assess any existing exterior wiring, lights, or outlets. If we find evidence of the short circuits common in older attic wiring that feeds outside, we can repair or rerun that wiring as part of the project. This integrated approach ensures your new deck is not only beautiful but also electrically sound.

This is a critical consideration. Before designing your addition, our electricians will evaluate your current electrical panel and wiring capacity. If your system is already near its limit—a common issue that leads to panel overheating—we'll recommend necessary upgrades, such as a panel replacement or sub-panel installation. We then design the new circuits for your addition to be efficient and fully compliant with Pottstown codes, preventing overloads and ensuring safety for years to come.
