Ward Electrical - Bronx's Licensed Electrical Contractor

For older homes in the Bronx, especially those with original wiring, we recommend a professional electrical inspection at least every 5 to 10 years, or before a major renovation. This is crucial as wiring can degrade over time, and older systems may not handle modern electrical loads safely. An inspection from a licensed electrician like our team at Ward Electrical can identify potential hazards like faulty connections, outdated components, or insufficient grounding, helping prevent fires and ensuring your system is up to current safety codes.

Our outdoor lighting installation is a comprehensive service. We start by assessing your property's layout, your security or aesthetic goals, and the existing electrical access. Our licensed electricians then handle the safe, weatherproof installation of fixtures, which includes running underground or exterior-grade wiring, installing proper junction boxes, and connecting to a dedicated circuit, often with a GFCI outlet for safety. We can set up landscape lighting to highlight your yard, motion-sensor security lights for protection, and durable path lighting. We ensure all work meets local Bronx electrical codes for outdoor installations.

Absolutely. Rodent damage to wiring is a common issue in our area. If you're experiencing flickering lights, tripped breakers, or outlets that don't work, rodents may be the cause. Our troubleshooting process involves a thorough inspection of your attic, basement, and behind walls to locate chewed or damaged wires. We safely remove the compromised wiring, replace it with new, rodent-resistant cable where possible, and seal entry points to prevent future issues. Addressing this promptly is vital, as exposed wires from chewing can lead to short circuits and fire hazards.
