This is one of the smallest upgrades we do. And homeowners love it every single time.

USB outlets replace your standard wall outlet with built-in USB charging ports right in the faceplate. No adapter. No bulky block taking up the outlet. Just plug your phone or tablet directly into the wall.

We install them in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, and anywhere else you are constantly hunting for a place to charge something.

It takes about twenty minutes per outlet and you will notice it every single day.

Want a few installed? Message Lilly on our website and we will get you on the schedule.

Most homeowners do not think about this until a breaker trips at the worst possible moment.

Large appliances and high-demand equipment put a serious load on your electrical system. When too much is running on the same circuit, you get flickering lights, nuisance trips, and in some cases overheating wires.

The solution is a dedicated circuit. One circuit serving one major load. No fighting for capacity.

Refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, washers and dryers, HVAC equipment, EV chargers. These are the kinds of loads that commonly need their own circuit, either by code or just good practice.

Every home is different. The right answer depends on your actual load and how your home is wired.

That is exactly what we look at when we come out.

Give us a call and we will tell you what your home actually needs.

If your home was built between 1950 and 1990, pay attention to this.

There is a good chance your electrical panel is a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok. Millions were installed across the country during the suburban building boom of that era. Westchester is full of them.

Here is the problem. These panels have a documented flaw. The breakers fail to trip when they are supposed to. That means when a circuit gets overloaded, instead of shutting off, it keeps running. Wires overheat. Fires start.

Studies show these breakers fail to do their job up to 60 to 80 percent of the time.

And most homeowners have no idea one is sitting in their basement right now.

There is more. Many insurance companies in New York will not cover a home that has one. Some will cancel your policy if they find out.

If your home is from that era and you have never had your panel looked at, it is worth a phone call.

Most people have never heard of an arc fault circuit interrupter. But it might be the most important safety device in your home.

Here is what happens inside your walls over time. Wiring gets old. Insulation cracks. Connections loosen. When electricity jumps across those gaps it creates arcing. You cannot see it, you cannot hear it, and your regular breaker will not stop it.

But an AFCI breaker will.

It detects that dangerous arcing and shuts the circuit down before it has a chance to start a fire. Building codes now require them in bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and most living spaces in new construction.

If your home was built or renovated before those codes took effect, there is a good chance you do not have them.

It is worth knowing.

Give us a call and we will take a look at your panel.

This is what it looks like before it's beautiful.

Every statement piece starts the same way. Unpacked on the floor, assembled by hand, and hung in a two-story foyer by a crew that knows what they are doing.
Slide to see the finished result.

That is the kind of work we show up for.

Have a fixture waiting to go up? Give us a call.

The power goes out. It always does.

The question is what happens next at your house.

This is a dual Generac transfer switch installation we completed for a home running two separate panels. Both switch over automatically the moment the grid goes down. No fumbling in the dark. No extension cords. No waiting.

The whole house stays on.

If a generator is on your list this summer, now is the time. Not July when everyone else is calling.
