Thornton Plumbing & Heating - Ellenville's Experienced Electrical Services

Many homes in our area have older electrical systems or switches that weren't initially sized for modern backup power demands. Over time, corrosion and wear from seasonal changes can cause these switches to fail. Our electrical inspection specifically checks the transfer switch's connections, load capacity, and mechanical operation to prevent unexpected failures during a power outage.

Absolutely. In older homes, leaky pipes or condensation from fixtures can lead to moisture intrusion near electrical outlets or in basements, significantly increasing the risk of short circuits. Our thorough plumbing inspection identifies these moisture sources, allowing us to fix leaks and recommend proper ventilation to protect your home's wiring from water damage and potential fire hazards.

First, safety: if you see sparks, smell burning, or a breaker repeatedly trips, shut off power to that circuit at the panel and call us immediately. For persistent but less urgent issues, our electrical inspection is the best step. We'll trace your home's wiring to locate worn insulation, outdated aluminum wiring, or overloaded circuits—common culprits in Ellenville's historic homes—and provide a clear, safe repair plan.
