When was the last time you thought about your home’s electrical system? Probably not since the last time the lights flickered or a circuit breaker tripped. But here’s the thing: your electrical wiring is the lifeblood of your home, powering everything from your morning coffee maker to your evening Netflix binge. Don’t leave the safety and functionality of your home to chance. As a trusted electrical contractor in Suffolk County, Fielack Electric is here to shed light on the importance of electrical maintenance, upgrades, and safety.
The Shocking Truth About Outdated Wiring
Older homes on Long Island often have outdated electrical systems that simply can’t keep up with the demands of modern life. Think about it – you’re probably using more gadgets and appliances now than ever before. Overloaded circuits, flickering lights, and even electrical fires can be the result of an outdated system. That’s where Fielack Electric comes in. We specialize in diagnosing and addressing electrical issues, ensuring your home is both safe and efficient.
Why Electrical Safety Matters
- Fire Prevention: Electrical fires are a leading cause of home fires in the United States. Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and outdated electrical components can all increase the risk of a fire.
- Personal Safety: Electrical shocks can be dangerous, even fatal. Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are essential safety devices that protect you from shocks, especially in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
- Protecting Your Electronics: Power surges can damage your expensive electronics, from computers and televisions to appliances. Whole-house surge protectors offer an extra layer of protection against these unpredictable events.

Signs You Need an Electrical Upgrade

- Tripping Circuit Breakers: Circuit breakers are designed to trip when a circuit is overloaded. If you’re constantly resetting breakers, it’s time to call an electrician.
- Warm Outlets or Switches: Warm outlets or switches are a red flag. This could indicate a wiring problem that needs immediate attention.
