New England Electric - Danbury's Qualified Electricians

Our thorough electrical inspection involves a detailed assessment of your home's entire electrical system. We check your service panel for capacity and safety, examine wiring for issues like outdated aluminum wiring, test outlets and switches for proper function, and ensure all installations meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. This service is crucial for identifying potential hazards, such as overheated outlets, and for planning any necessary upgrades or repairs to keep your Danbury home safe and efficient.

Given our New England weather, power outages from storms are a common concern. A permanently installed standby generator automatically turns on when the grid fails, ensuring your sump pump, heating system, refrigeration, and essential lights remain operational. Our team handles the full installation, including proper placement, connecting to your home's electrical panel with a transfer switch, and ensuring it meets all local Danbury and state permitting requirements for safe, reliable backup power.

Yes, aging aluminum wiring, common in many area homes built from the mid-1960s to late 1970s, can be a serious fire hazard due to its tendency to oxidize and loosen at connections, leading to overheating. We help Danbury homeowners address this risk directly. Our solutions include installing specially designed connectors (Al/Cu rated) at every outlet and switch, or, for a more comprehensive upgrade, we can rewire affected circuits with modern copper wiring. This work is vital for ensuring the long-term safety of your home and family.
