We're part of your community, respond faster, and have a reputation to maintain. When you choose local, you're supporting your neighbors and getting personalized service.

A tripping breaker is your home's way of saying something is wrong. While occasional trips can happen with overloaded circuits, frequent tripping is a red flag. It could indicate a short circuit, ground fault, or an outdated panel that needs upgrading. Our licensed electricians in Maine can diagnose the issue and ensure your home's electrical system is safe and code-compliant.

Flickering lights can range from harmless to serious. Common causes include loose bulbs, aging wiring, or voltage fluctuations. However, persistent flickering—especially in older Maine homes—can signal outdated wiring, a failing panel, or overloaded circuits. If you're experiencing ongoing flickering, call our electricians for a thorough electrical troubleshooting inspection.

A burning smell from an outlet is an emergency. Immediately turn off the circuit at your breaker panel and call us. Do not use the outlet or any nearby outlets until we've inspected it. Burning smells can indicate overheating wires, loose connections, or insulation damage—all serious fire hazards. Our emergency electricians in Maine respond quickly to keep your home safe.

Yes! With Maine's harsh winters and frequent power outages from ice storms, having a standby generator is a smart investment. We install whole-home and backup generators, handle the interlock installation, and ensure your generator is properly wired and ready when you need it most. Our generator services include sizing, installation, and annual maintenance.

Many homes in Maine were built 50, 75, or even 100 years ago with electrical systems that can't handle modern demands. If your home has 60-amp service, fuse boxes, or cloth-covered wiring, it's time for an upgrade. We specialize in electrical service upgrades for older homes, bringing your wiring up to current codes while preserving your home's character. Common upgrades include replacing Federal Pacific panels, upgrading from 100 to 200 amps, and complete rewiring.

Absolutely! Ceiling fan installation is one of our most requested services. Whether you need a new fan installed in a living room, bedroom, or covered porch, our licensed electricians will handle everything from mounting to wiring. We also repair and replace existing fans and can add switches for independent light and fan control. Ceiling fans are a great way to improve comfort and reduce energy costs in your Maine home.

Fuse boxes are outdated technology found in older homes. When a fuse blows, you must replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage. Circuit breakers are modern, safer, and more convenient—you simply flip the switch to reset after a trip. If your Maine home still has a fuse box, we strongly recommend upgrading to a breaker panel for improved safety, capacity, and code compliance.

Warning signs include: frequently tripping breakers, warm or discolored panel cover, burning smells, sparks when using outlets, or lights dimming when appliances run. Certain brands like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco are inherently unsafe and should be replaced immediately. If your panel is over 25 years old or you notice any of these signs, contact our Maine electricians for a free safety assessment.

Yes! Whether you're finishing a basement, adding a room, building a garage, or doing a complete renovation, we handle all the electrical wiring for your project. We work with general contractors and homeowners alike, ensuring all new wiring meets Maine electrical codes. Our services include rough-in wiring, panel upgrades to accommodate new circuits, outlet and switch installation, and final inspection.

During a power outage, first check if your neighbors are also without power. If only your home is dark, check your breaker panel for tripped breakers. If the outage is widespread, stay safe by avoiding opening the fridge, using generators outdoors only, and keeping flashlights handy. For extended outages, having a standby generator professionally installed means you'll never be left in the cold. Call us if you need emergency electrical assistance.

Yes. If you've bought a home with electrical code violations or you're selling and need to pass inspection, we can help. We specialize in bringing outdated electrical systems up to current Maine code standards. Whether it's adding GFCI outlets, upgrading wiring, replacing an unsafe panel, or fixing improper installations, we'll ensure your home meets all electrical code requirements for sale or occupancy.

Aluminum wiring was commonly used in homes built between 1965 and 1972. You can identify it by looking at the markings on the wire sheathing (look for "AL" or "aluminum") or at the connections at outlets and switches (aluminum wires usually have special CU/AL markings). Aluminum wiring can pose fire risks if not properly maintained. If your Maine home has aluminum wiring, contact us for an assessment—we may recommend special connectors, repairs, or partial rewiring for safety.

Yes! Proper detector installation is crucial for home safety. We install hardwired smoke detectors with battery backup, carbon monoxide detectors, and combination units. Maine law requires working smoke detectors on every level of your home, and we ensure they're properly placed, wired, and tested. We also replace outdated detectors and can add interconnected systems so when one alarm sounds, they all sound.

EV charger installation costs vary depending on your home's electrical setup. If your panel has available capacity, installation typically ranges from $500 to $1,500. If you need a panel upgrade first, costs can reach $2,000 to $4,500. We provide free estimates and can assess your home's electrical system to recommend the best solution. We install all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, and others, and handle all permitting and inspection requirements.

In Maine, most significant electrical work requires a permit, including: new circuit installations, panel upgrades, service replacements, rewiring, generator installation, and any work in bathrooms, kitchens, or wet locations. Simple repairs like replacing outlets or switches may not require permits. We handle all permitting and scheduling of required inspections, ensuring your project meets Maine's electrical code requirements.

High electricity bills can stem from inefficient lighting, outdated appliances, or electrical issues. Common causes include: old incandescent bulbs, phantom energy drain from always-on devices, inefficient HVAC systems, and wiring problems. We offer energy audits to identify issues and can recommend upgrades like LED lighting, smart thermostats, and whole-home surge protection. Upgrading to energy-efficient lighting and appliances can significantly reduce your monthly bills.

Yes! Adding outlets is one of our most common requests. Whether you need more outlets in your living room for electronics, kitchen for appliances, or garage for tools, we can install new circuits or extend existing ones. We also upgrade outdated two-prong outlets to modern three-prong grounded outlets, add USB outlet combinations, and install GFCI protection where required by code.

We recommend a comprehensive electrical inspection every 10 years for older homes, or immediately if you're buying or selling a home. If your home is over 40 years old, has had major renovations, or you've noticed warning signs like flickering lights or tripping breakers, schedule an inspection now. For rental properties, Maine requires periodic inspections. Our electrical safety inspections identify hazards, code violations, and needed upgrades.

Power surges can be caused by lightning strikes, utility grid switching, or high-powered appliances cycling on and off. Small daily surges gradually damage electronics. The best protection is a whole-home surge protector installed at your electrical panel—it absorbs excess voltage before it reaches your devices. We also recommend plugging sensitive electronics into point-of-use surge protectors. With Maine's frequent thunderstorms, surge protection is a wise investment.

Yes! Whether you need basic power in a detached garage, a sub-panel for a workshop, or dedicated circuits for heavy equipment, we handle it all. Garage wiring must meet specific code requirements, especially for outdoor or damp locations. We install GFCI-protected circuits, 240-volt outlets for tools and car chargers, and ensure your garage is safe and functional for everything from basic storage to a full woodworking shop.

In Maine, a journeyman electrician has completed apprenticeship training and passed the state exam to work under supervision. A master electrician has additional experience, has passed more rigorous testing, and can design electrical systems, pull permits, and supervise other electricians. When you hire a master electrician, you're getting the highest level of expertise for your project's design, installation, and code compliance.

Yes! We offer preventive maintenance programs for Maine businesses. Regular maintenance catches problems early, reduces downtime, and extends equipment life. Our commercial electrical maintenance includes: breaker panel inspections, lighting system checks, data and communication line testing, safety inspections, and priority service response. Contact us to discuss a customized maintenance plan for your business.

Absolutely! We install a wide range of outdoor electrical features for Maine homes: landscape lighting, security lighting, deck and patio outlets, hot tub and pool wiring, outdoor kitchen circuits, garage door openers, and more. All outdoor electrical work requires weather-resistant materials and GFCI protection. We ensure all exterior electrical is properly installed for safety and durability through Maine's harsh winters.

Yes, a warm outlet is a serious warning sign. Warm outlets can indicate overloaded circuits, loose wiring connections, or damaged wiring—all fire hazards. Stop using that outlet immediately and turn off the circuit at your breaker. Call our emergency electricians right away to inspect. Do not ignore warm outlets; they are one of the leading causes of electrical fires in homes. We'll identify the problem and make safe repairs.

Yes. Maine storms can damage electrical systems from lightning strikes, falling trees, or flooding. We work with homeowners and insurance claims for storm damage repairs. We assess damage, provide detailed estimates for insurance, perform code-compliant repairs, and coordinate with adjusters. If your home has storm-related electrical damage, document it with photos and contact us—we'll help navigate the repair process.

Call us immediately if you experience: burning smells from outlets or panel, sparking or smoking from any electrical component, warm or discolored outlet covers, frequent breaker trips, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, tingling when touching appliances, flickering lights that persist, or the smell of burning plastic. These are all signs of serious electrical problems that can lead to fires. Our 24/7 emergency electricians in Maine respond quickly to keep your home and family safe.

A standard electrical panel upgrade typically takes 1 to 2 days. Day one involves disconnecting power, removing the old panel, and installing the new one. Day two covers reconnecting all circuits, testing, and city inspection. If the project requires panel relocation, additional wiring, or service upgrades from the utility, it may take longer. We provide a timeline estimate with your quote and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.

A whole-home rewire means replacing all the electrical wiring in your house. It's needed when wiring is severely deteriorated, poses safety hazards, or cannot handle modern electrical loads. Signs you may need rewiring include: frequent breaker trips, two-prong ungrounded outlets, aluminum wiring, cloth-insulated wiring, or flickering lights. While invasive, we protect your walls and belongings, work room by room, and leave your home safer and ready for the next 50+ years.

Yes! Under-cabinet lighting is a popular upgrade for Maine kitchens. We install LED strip lights, puck lights, and linear fixtures that provide task lighting for cooking while adding ambiance. Options include hardwired installations for a clean look without visible adapters, or plugin options for easier installation. We can also add dimmers and smart controls so you can adjust lighting with your phone or voice. Under-cabinet lighting adds both functionality and value to your home.

Two-prong outlets mean your home's wiring lacks a ground conductor. This is common in homes built before the 1960s. Ungrounded outlets don't protect your devices from power surges and can be less safe. While you can replace two-prong outlets with three-prong GFCI outlets for safety, true grounding requires running new wiring. If your older Maine home has two-prong outlets, contact us to discuss options for upgrading to safer, grounded circuits that meet modern electrical code requirements.
