Electrical Contractor Newington CT | Call Viking Electrical

This is a common issue we see locally, often related to the automatic transfer switch. First, ensure your generator has fuel and the main circuit breaker is on. If it still fails, the transfer switch—which safely connects your generator to your home's electrical panel—may have a fault. For safety and proper function, we recommend a professional inspection. Viking Electrical can diagnose and repair transfer switch problems, and we offer 24-hour emergency service to help get your power restored quickly during storm-related outages.

Yes, we frequently upgrade electrical panels for Newington's older homes. Modern households with more appliances, computers, and HVAC systems often overload older panels, creating a safety hazard. Our team, led by owner Mark Giorda who also holds an Electrical Inspector's License, can assess your current panel, recommend a suitable upgrade for your needs, and handle the entire installation. This improves safety, prevents tripped breakers, and provides capacity for future home additions or electric vehicle chargers.

Our free estimate is a straightforward, no-obligation assessment. A licensed electrician will visit your Newington home, discuss your goals for the new fixture or outlet, and examine the existing wiring at the installation site. We'll identify any potential challenges, such as the need for new wiring or an update to your electrical box, and provide a clear, detailed quote for the labor and materials. This process ensures you understand the scope of work and cost before we begin any project.
