Electrical Repair Lakewood NJ | Call Thaler Electric

Our licensed electricians perform a detailed inspection of your entire electrical system. We check for outdated wiring, such as knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, which is common in older Lakewood homes and can be a fire hazard. We also meticulously test all grounding systems to ensure they are properly installed and functioning, which is crucial for protecting your appliances and preventing electrical shocks.

Many older homes in Lakewood were built before modern electrical codes, leading to absent or inadequate grounding. This can cause power surges, damage electronics, and create serious shock risks. We correct this by installing or upgrading the grounding electrode system, ensuring all outlets are properly grounded, and bonding all metal components to create a safe path for stray electrical current.

Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, outlets that are warm to the touch or spark, a burning smell from outlets, and reliance on extension cords due to insufficient outlets. If you notice any of these, it's time for a professional inspection. We can assess the condition of your wiring and recommend necessary upgrades to ensure safety and reliability.
