Rather than wait for an emergency, Patnode Electric encourages you to get to know your local residential electrical contractors at your leisure. The Willington, CT-based electricians provide many important services, which not only help in emergencies but prevent them from happening in the first place. They even waive their service fee for all new customers.

Here are some useful services you can expect from residential electrical contractors:

• Install & Fix Electrical Wiring: Patnode Electric will help you avoid electrical mishaps from the very beginning by wiring your new home themselves. They’ll even inspect and re-wire an older home so you know for sure that it’s safe to use electricity.

• New Outlet Installation: The safest wall outlet for a bathroom, kitchen, or outdoor location is a CFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, which helps prevent electrical shock in case water is present. For extra safety, consider having a residential electrical contractor install CFCI outlets in these parts of your home.

• Light Switch Installation: Sometimes all you need is a simple change to make things twice as convenient such as a light switch installation. They’re useful for controlling ceiling fans, lights, garbage disposals, and many other fixtures you use every day. Your local residential electrical contractors can set one up quickly. 

• Backup Generator Service: Many homeowners have an emergency backup generator in case their current system fails, like during summer blackouts and brownouts. Schedule maintenance checks with a residential electrical contractor at least once a year as annual inspections will ensure all minor issues are repaired, so you always have power.

• Circuit Breaker Repair: If you reset your circuit breaker more often than you should, it might need repair. Call a residential electrical contractor if your circuit breaker frequently fails, no longer resets, or has obvious damage such as melted metal. 

Patnode Electric works out of Willington, CT, and only hires highly trained and background-checked residential electrical contractors. To schedule service or ask any questions, call (860) 429-3574, or visit the website for more information.
