Q&A
My home's wiring is old. What should I look out for, and can you help?
In many older Cranston homes, aging wiring can lead to flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outlets that feel warm. These are signs it's time for a professional evaluation. Our team is experienced with the specific wiring types common in the area's housing stock. We provide thorough electrical inspections to identify potential safety hazards and recommend practical solutions, from targeted repairs to full panel upgrades, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and meets current code standards.
What's involved in installing a backup generator for my home?
A proper generator installation is more than just placing the unit. It requires a correctly sized and installed automatic transfer switch, which is a critical safety component that isolates your home from the utility grid during an outage. We specialize in generator and transfer switch installations, paying close attention to local code requirements. Our process includes assessing your home's power needs, recommending an appropriately sized generator, and ensuring the entire system is installed safely and reliably, giving you peace of mind during a storm.
Do you handle electric vehicle charging station installations?
Yes, we do. Installing a home EV charger often requires an electrical panel evaluation to ensure it can handle the added load safely. Our licensed electricians will assess your current electrical service, recommend the right charger for your needs and vehicle, and handle the entire installation process, including any necessary permits and inspections. We ensure the installation is up to code and integrates seamlessly with your home's existing electrical system.
