Lighting Installation & Light Switch Wiring
Light switches are one the items homeowners take for granted because it’s so easy to turn lights on and off. But proper lighting installation requires wiring that’s both safe and effective. Our contractors take amperage, energy usage, efficiency, and safety into consideration prior to installing anything. Simple things like not grounding a wire, or not hooking up a switch correctly can lead to big problems like short-circuits or fires.

Call our electrical contractors to ensure each wire is installed correctly prior to mounting the fan on the ceiling. We want to make sure the fan spins quietly and provides light on demand when the light switch is turned on.
Knob and Tube Wiring Updates
Knob and tube wiring (K&T) is an outdated electric system that can be found in tons of homes across the Albany area. It’s an old method of electrical wire installation from the early 1900’s that’s not ideal for the modern era. The name knob and tube wiring comes from the ceramic knobs and black tubes that cover the copper wire which carries electricity throughout the house. Although many homeowners have updated their electrical systems to safer units, K&T wires are sometimes still found in attics and wall cavities that are hard to reach. If you see this, contact our team to retrofit the panels and wiring in your home and ensure your safety.

Transformer Repair – Transformers are an important part of urban and suburban electrical systems because they convert electrical power into usable voltage. The electricity from the local power grid must goes through the transformer before being sent to homes and businesses in the area. When an electrical transformer fails or explodes, it can be extremely dangerous for anyone nearby. Transformer explosions occur due to a number of factors, such as lightning, overheating, corrosion, power line damage, or damaged safety mechanisms. Depending on the amount of damage, transformer repair may take hours to days before it’s fixed or replaced. Our team works directly with local energy providers to fix transformers when they go down.

Security System Installation By Professional Electricians in Albany, NY

Professional security system installation ensures a low upfront equipment cost, correctly placed sensors for all doors, windows, and other access points, indoor and outdoor security cameras, and expert implementation. The addition perk of requesting an expert electrical installer is that we can run wiring to any area of the property in an efficient manner to ensure consistent performance. When installing security systems, one option is wireless sensors. By using the latest models, we can skip most of the wiring and simply use a standard wall outlet for power. Regardless of the project size, everything will be coordinated around your schedule.
Our electricians are some of the best trained contractors in the state. Because of our great reputation, we’re occasionally invited to fly out of state to complete various eletrical projects. This past month, we flew into LAX and drove to Santa Ana to install interior and exterior lighting for 7 homes on East Walnut Street, just a couple miles from the downtown Santa Ana historic district. Working in partnership with electrical contractor Orange County Electricians, we set up energy efficient lighting indoors and outdoors, upgraded the circuit breakers, put in new ATS controllers, and installed an electric generator before flying back home.
