FAQs
What are the most common electrical issues you see in older Ardsley homes?
In many of Ardsley's charming older homes, we frequently encounter aging knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that no longer meets modern safety standards and can't handle today's electrical loads. This often leads to frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and outlets that don't work. We also see a lot of damage from local power surges, which can fry appliances and electronics. Our team is experienced in safely evaluating these older systems, recommending necessary upgrades like panel replacement or whole-house rewiring, and installing surge protection to safeguard your home and belongings.
Do you handle electric vehicle charging station installations for residential homes?
Yes, we do. Installing a home EV charging station is one of our specialized services. Our electricians will assess your home's electrical panel capacity to ensure it can support the added demand safely. We handle the entire process, from obtaining any necessary permits in Westchester County to running the proper wiring and installing a dedicated circuit and the charging unit itself. A proper installation by a licensed electrician like our team is crucial for safety, efficiency, and to maintain your vehicle and home warranty compliance.
My lights are flickering and outlets are warm. Is this an emergency?
Flickering lights combined with warm or discolored outlets are serious warning signs that should not be ignored. This often indicates faulty wiring, a loose connection, or an overloaded circuit, which are fire hazards. We recommend you stop using the affected circuit immediately and contact a licensed electrician. At Shaw Electric, we treat these calls with urgency for our Ardsley neighbors. Our electricians can diagnose the root cause, whether it's in the fixture, the wiring, or your main electrical panel, and perform the necessary repairs to restore safety to your home.
