Westco Electric - Sleepy Hollow's Experienced Electrical Company

In many Sleepy Hollow homes, panels overheat due to outdated wiring or circuits being overloaded with modern appliances. Our inspection thoroughly assesses your panel's capacity, checks for loose connections that generate heat, and evaluates the condition of breakers. We identify if your current system is sufficient for your home's demand and recommend upgrades—like a panel replacement or added circuits—to eliminate the overheating risk and ensure safe, reliable power.

Absolutely. Power surges often stem from internal issues like faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, not just lightning. Our inspection includes testing your home's grounding system and checking for wiring faults that can cause sudden voltage spikes. We can identify if your electrical system itself is a source of surges and recommend solutions, such as installing whole-house surge protectors at the main panel, to shield your refrigerators, computers, and other appliances from damage.

For our historic community, we focus on common age-related risks. We meticulously inspect for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, ensure grounding systems are present and functional, test all GFCI and AFCI outlets for safety, and verify that your electrical panel and its connections can handle today's power loads. The goal is to pinpoint issues unique to older construction that could lead to overheating or surges, providing you with a clear, prioritized plan for upgrades.
