Professional Electrical Company in Westford, MA 1886 - Local Electrical Services, Inc.

Our thorough electrical inspection involves a licensed electrician examining your home's entire electrical system. We check the service panel for capacity and safety, inspect wiring (with a focus on identifying outdated knob-and-tube systems common in older Westford homes), test outlets and switches for proper grounding, and evaluate all lighting fixtures and major appliances. The goal is to ensure everything meets current Massachusetts electrical codes, identify any potential hazards like loose connections, and provide you with a clear, prioritized report and estimate for any recommended work.

Flickering lights in Westford homes are often a symptom of loose electrical connections, either at the fixture itself, within an outlet, or in the main service panel—a common issue we diagnose. Loose connections create resistance and heat, which is a fire hazard. Our process starts with a safety-focused inspection to pinpoint the exact source. We'll methodically tighten all connections, replace any corroded or damaged components, and ensure the circuit is properly balanced. For older homes, we frequently find this issue is related to aging wiring that may need an upgrade to handle modern electrical loads safely.

Yes, we provide expertise in both areas. For homeowners, we upgrade outdated electrical panels to modern, higher-capacity models to safely support today's appliances and devices, a service we've offered since 1981. For businesses, we are certified to install and service commercial-grade backup generators from leading brands like Generac and Siemens, ensuring continuity during power outages. Our team of licensed electricians is trained to manage the full scope of electrical work, from the main panel to the dedicated circuitry required for generators, ensuring a seamless and code-compliant installation for any property.
