It often indicates overloaded circuits, loose connections, or outdated equipment that can't handle modern electrical demands. V & G Electric specializes in diagnosing this exact issue.

Absolutely. Faulty or outdated wiring for ceiling fans is a frequent issue we address in local homes. Our process starts with a careful assessment of your existing wiring and junction box to ensure it can safely support a fan. If repairs are needed—such as securing loose connections, replacing damaged wire, or installing a proper fan-rated box—we handle it all as part of the job. We then complete a secure, code-compliant installation, so you can enjoy your new fan with complete confidence.

Our free estimate is a comprehensive, no-obligation assessment. We'll visit your Westerly home, evaluate your current electrical service panel, meter, and main wiring capacity. We'll discuss your household's power needs, future plans, and any issues like frequent breaker trips. Then, we provide a detailed written quote outlining the recommended upgrade (such as to a 200-amp panel), the work involved, timeline, and all costs. This upfront clarity, based on over 30 years of experience, helps you make an informed decision.
