Residential Electrical Repairs
Recently, we were hired by a homeowner in Wading River. Our technicians completed various electrical repairs including new recessed lighting, new fixtures and a complete kitchen renovation.
A rewiring upgrade to the clients electrical system was completed during this kitchen remodel to meet code. For example, a problem many outdated kitchens have are a lack GFI outlets and outlets with poor placement. Code changes to GFI outlets are changed every three years so it is very important during a remodel to make all necessary upgrades for code regulation reasons. Furthermore, an addition of more GFI outlets can be helpful for powering a large number of appliances that modern kitchens require.
In addition, due to your renovation, your electrical needs will likely increase because of the change in electrical activity from your new appliances and upgraded lighting. This is why upgrading your system for more amps will be key to your remodel.
Finally, we replaced all outlets and switches that were exposed to pre existing mold as part of the mold remediation process.

Wading River's housing runs an unusually wide span for one ZIP code. Along North Country Road and Sound Avenue you'll find colonial- and Greek Revival-era homes, some reaching back to the 1700s and 1800s, where original wiring, fuse boxes, and two-prong outlets are common and overdue for modern service. Set back on the wooded lots off Hulse Landing Road sit mid-century ranches and capes, while subdivisions such as Great Rock Estates bring far newer construction with heavier electrical demands. On the larger parcels here, long driveways and detached garages or barns often mean extended underground feeds and subpanels, work that rewards an electrician comfortable with both antique homes and recent builds.
A second thread runs through town: its North Shore edge and open land. Homes near the Long Island Sound bluffs and Wildwood State Park face salt air and wind-driven weather that wear on panels, meter pans, and exterior fixtures, while properties bordering the Pine Barrens and Brookhaven State Park sit on wells and septic that depend on steady power. Wading River also straddles two towns, with most of it in Riverhead and a sliver in Brookhaven, so a permit's path depends on which side of that line a property falls. Add the farm stands and vineyards along Route 25A, and the work here spans homes, agriculture, and small commerce alike.
