You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your panel isn’t warm to the touch. Outlets don’t spark when you plug something in. That’s what properly installed electrical work looks like.
Most homes in North Kingstown weren’t built yesterday. The median home here is worth $575,000, and many still have original wiring from decades ago. That wiring wasn’t designed for today’s loads—EV chargers, central air, smart home systems, induction cooktops. It shows up as flickering lights, tripped breakers, or outlets that don’t hold a plug anymore.
We handle electrical wiring services that bring your system up to current code without ripping apart your whole house. That means safer circuits, properly grounded outlets, and a panel that can actually handle what you’re asking it to do. You’re not wondering if something’s about to go wrong every time you turn on the dryer.
We’ve been doing electrical work across Rhode Island for over 30 years. That includes more than 1,500 commercial projects and countless residential jobs in towns like North Kingstown, where coastal conditions and older home stock create specific challenges.
Our team includes Master Electricians and Electrical Inspector Certified professionals. We’re members of the Rhode Island Electrical Inspectors IAEI Roger Williams Chapter and follow NFPA standards on every job. We’re also an authorized Generac dealer, which matters when you’re looking at generator installation for backup power during outages.
North Kingstown homeowners care about their properties. The homeownership rate here is over 76%, and people invest in maintaining what they own. We treat your home the same way—like it matters, because it does.
You call or reach out online. We schedule a time that works for you—no vague four-hour windows. When we show up, we assess what’s actually going on. Not what we want to sell you, but what your system needs based on code, safety, and how you use your home.
We explain what we find in plain terms. If your panel is outdated, we’ll tell you why it matters and what it means for your home’s safety and capacity. If you’ve got knob and tube wiring, we’ll walk through your options for replacement and what that process looks like.
Once you approve the work, we handle permits, inspections, and the installation itself. We clean up when we’re done. You get a system that works correctly and meets current electrical code. If something comes up later, you call us. We’ve been here for three decades—we’re not going anywhere.

North Kingstown sits on Narragansett Bay. That means salt air, humidity, and weather that’s hard on electrical systems. Coastal homes need corrosion-resistant materials and proper grounding. We account for that in every installation.
Your home might have knob and tube wiring if it was built before 1950. Many insurance companies won’t cover homes with that wiring because of fire risk. We handle knob and tube wiring replacement that brings your system up to modern safety standards without tearing your walls apart more than necessary.
Generator installation is common here. Power outages happen, especially during storms. A permanently installed Generac system kicks on automatically when the grid goes down. You don’t lose your fridge, your heat, or your sump pump. We size the system correctly for your home’s actual load and handle the full installation, including the transfer switch and gas line connection.
Panel upgrades matter when your home’s electrical demand has outgrown your current capacity. We install panels that meet today’s code and give you room to add circuits as your needs change. That includes proper labeling, AFCI and GFCI protection where required, and a setup that’s safe for your family.
Your breakers trip frequently, especially when you run multiple appliances. Lights dim when the AC kicks on. Outlets feel warm or don’t hold plugs securely. You see scorch marks around switches or smell burning plastic near your panel.
These are signs your system is overloaded or has failing components. Homes built before 1990 often have 100-amp service, which isn’t enough for modern electrical loads. Today’s homes typically need 200-amp service to handle HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and everything else you plug in.
An electrical safety inspection tells you exactly what’s going on. We check your panel, test your circuits, look for code violations, and measure your actual load. Then we explain what needs attention now versus what can wait. You make the call based on real information, not a sales pitch.
We run new Romex wiring through your walls and attic to replace the old knob and tube system. This usually means opening some walls, but we’re strategic about access points to minimize damage. We patch and paint what we open, or you can have your contractor handle the finish work.
The new wiring includes a grounded system, which knob and tube doesn’t have. That means safer outlets, better protection against electrical shock, and compliance with current code. We also add GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens and AFCI breakers where required.
Most knob and tube replacements take several days depending on your home’s size and layout. We work in sections so you’re not without power in the whole house. Once we’re done, your insurance company will cover you properly, and you’ll have a system that’s safe for another 40+ years.
Most residential generator installations take two to three days from start to finish. Day one involves setting the concrete pad, running the gas line, and positioning the generator. Day two covers the electrical connections, transfer switch installation, and system testing. Day three handles final inspections and startup.
We coordinate with your gas company if you’re using natural gas, or we set up a propane tank if that’s your fuel source. The transfer switch goes between your main panel and the generator so power switches over automatically during an outage. You don’t flip any switches—the system handles it.
After installation, we program the generator to match your home’s load and test it under real conditions. We also walk you through basic maintenance, which is minimal. Generac generators self-test weekly to make sure they’re ready when you need them. We’re available for service calls if anything comes up, and we handle annual maintenance if you want that handled for you.
Yes. We’ve completed over 1,500 commercial projects across Rhode Island, including work in North Kingstown. That covers everything from retail spaces and restaurants to office buildings and industrial facilities.
Commercial electrical work is different from residential. You’re dealing with three-phase power, higher voltages, more complex code requirements, and systems that need to stay operational during business hours. We plan installations around your schedule to minimize downtime.
Our commercial services include new construction wiring, tenant fit-outs, lighting retrofits, panel upgrades, emergency repairs, and ongoing maintenance contracts. We’re licensed, insured, and provide certificates of insurance when required. If your business needs electrical work, we handle it the same way we’ve handled commercial projects for three decades—on time, on budget, and up to code.
If you smell burning plastic, see sparks, or lose all power suddenly, shut off your main breaker if it’s safe to reach. Don’t touch anything that’s sparking or smoking. Get everyone out of the house if you see flames or heavy smoke, and call 911 first.
For emergencies that aren’t immediately life-threatening—like a partial power loss, a buzzing panel, or a burning smell that stops when you unplug something—call us. We handle emergency electrical repairs and can usually get someone to you the same day.
Some electrical problems can wait until morning. A single dead outlet isn’t an emergency. A tripped breaker that resets fine isn’t urgent. But if you’re unsure, call anyway. We’d rather talk you through it and confirm you’re safe than have you wait on something that’s actually dangerous. Electrical fires cause over 36,000 home fires every year in the US—most of them preventable with proper repairs.
Panel upgrades typically run $2,000 to $4,000 depending on the amperage and complexity. Whole-house rewiring ranges from $8,000 to $15,000 based on square footage and access. Generator installation costs $7,000 to $15,000 depending on the size and fuel source. Smaller jobs like outlet installation, circuit additions, or lighting upgrades run $200 to $800.
These are ranges, not quotes. Your actual cost depends on your home’s specific situation—what’s behind your walls, how your current system is set up, what materials we need, and how much labor the job requires. We don’t give prices over the phone because we can’t see what we’re working with.
We provide written estimates after we assess your home in person. That estimate breaks down labor, materials, permits, and any other costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We don’t add surprise charges later. If something unexpected comes up during the work, we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding. You’re spending serious money on your home—you deserve to know where it’s going.
