Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, so when something goes wrong in your home or building, you want answers fast. A dead outlet, flickering lights, a breaker that keeps tripping, or a burning smell near a receptacle are all signs that something needs attention. Ignoring them rarely makes things better.
Our electricians start with a thorough diagnostic to find the actual source of the problem, not just the symptom. We check circuits, test outlets, trace wiring, and identify issues before they become hazards. If a room suddenly loses power, we find out why. If you have outlets that spark or feel warm to the touch, we take that seriously.
We also install and replace GFCI and AFCI protection throughout the home. GFCI outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, and AFCI breakers add a layer of protection against arc faults in bedroom and living area circuits. Same-day electrical service available means you do not have to wait days to get a repair scheduled.
One ring and we're on it.
Many homes in Suffolk County are still running on panels that were never sized for today's electrical loads. A 100-amp service that handled a house in the 1970s struggles with modern appliances, EV chargers, home offices, and added square footage. Aging breaker panels can also develop connection problems, loose bussing, and breakers that no longer trip reliably.
We handle breaker panel upgrades, 200-amp service upgrades, main panel replacements, and subpanel installations. Our electricians perform load calculations to make sure your new panel is sized correctly for your current and future needs. We also handle service-entrance work when the utility connection itself needs to be brought up to code.
Whether you are a homeowner planning a renovation or a property manager dealing with a building that keeps blowing breakers, we can assess the situation and walk you through what the work involves. You get no-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what to expect before we begin.
Call us and the rest is on our crew.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and the installation work we do every day proves that point.
We install standard, GFCI, and AFCI outlets throughout the home, along with dimmer switches, smart switches, USB outlets, and whole-room switch replacements. If you are updating a kitchen, finishing a basement, or just replacing a worn outlet that no longer holds a plug securely, we handle it cleanly and to code.
High-draw appliances need their own circuits. We run dedicated circuits for electric dryers, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and other equipment that draws enough current to cause problems on a shared line. This is especially important in older homes where the original wiring was never designed for today's appliances.
We install recessed and LED lighting, under-cabinet lighting, exterior and security lighting, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting. Ceiling fan installation and bathroom exhaust fan wiring are regular parts of our work as well. A family-run electrical business takes pride in finishing these jobs neatly, with fixtures properly supported and wiring done right the first time.
Call today and we'll set the appointment.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor wiring issue from a serious one, which is why whole-home rewiring often comes as a surprise. But when a house has old cloth-insulated wiring, ungrounded two-prong outlets throughout, or wiring that was added piecemeal over decades, a full rewire is often the safest and most cost-effective path forward.
We rewire homes of all sizes, handling everything from the panel to the devices. We also wire additions, finished basements, garages, detached workshops, and outbuildings. Basement and sump-pump circuits are a regular part of our work in this area, where a functioning sump pump can mean the difference between a dry basement and a flooded one.
All wiring work includes proper grounding and bonding. Grounding protects people and equipment by giving fault current a safe path back to the panel. Bonding ties conductive components together so they stay at the same potential. These are not optional extras. They are part of doing the job correctly.
We keep your home powered and safe.
Long Island's housing stock is among the oldest in the country, and Commack is no exception. Many homes here were built decades before modern wiring standards, and the region's storm seasons add another layer of concern. EV adoption on Long Island is also among the highest in the nation, which means more households are looking for reliable home charging solutions. These three services come up regularly in this area for good reason.
Knob-and-tube wiring was standard in homes built before the 1950s. It uses separate hot and neutral conductors run through ceramic knobs and tubes, with no ground wire and insulation that has often become brittle with age. Many insurance carriers now require remediation before they will write or renew a policy on a home with active knob-and-tube circuits.
Aluminum branch wiring, common in homes built during the 1960s and 1970s, presents a different set of concerns. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, which can loosen connections over time and create heat and arcing at outlets and fixtures.
We assess both systems, identify which circuits are still active, and develop a remediation plan that brings the home up to current code. This may involve full rewiring of affected circuits, replacement of devices with aluminum-rated hardware, or a combination of both.
A Level 2 EV charger operates on a 240-volt dedicated circuit and can fully charge most electric vehicles overnight. Installing one at home requires running a properly sized circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway, and it may require a panel upgrade if your current service does not have the capacity to support the added load.
We install Level 2 chargers compatible with Tesla vehicles and universal J1772 connectors, as well as hardwired charger units. We also advise on placement, circuit sizing, and whether your panel needs attention before the charger goes in. With EV ownership growing steadily across Long Island, this is one of the most common calls we get from homeowners planning ahead.
Nor'easters, ice storms, and summer line faults knock out power across Long Island every year. A standby generator connected to a transfer switch can keep your home running through an outage automatically, without the hazards of extension cords or portable units in enclosed spaces.
We handle the electrical side of generator installation: transfer switch installation, generator wiring, panel connections, and load calculations to determine what the generator needs to support. Whether you are powering essential circuits or the whole house, we size and wire the system correctly so it works when you need it most.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, commercial property owners and managers in Commack need a contractor who understands the demands of a working building. We serve property managers, landlords, office tenants, and retail operators throughout the area.
Our commercial work covers panel upgrades for multi-tenant buildings, tenant improvement wiring for new buildouts, office and retail electrical installations, and commercial repairs. We work around your schedule where possible and keep disruption to a minimum. Work is performed by licensed electricians who understand commercial code requirements and can coordinate with inspectors when permits are required.
If you manage a property in Suffolk County and need electrical work handled reliably and without drama, we are the crew to call.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor wiring issue from a serious one, and that is exactly why a professional inspection matters. We perform pre-purchase electrical inspections for buyers who want to know what they are getting into before closing, safety audits for homeowners who have concerns about older wiring, and code inspections for properties that need to meet current requirements.
A safety inspection covers the panel, visible wiring, outlets, grounding, GFCI and AFCI protection, and any obvious hazards. We document what we find and walk you through it clearly.
Whole-home surge protection is a natural companion to an inspection. A single whole-home surge protector installed at the panel guards every circuit in the house against voltage spikes from lightning, utility switching, and large appliances cycling on and off. For a home full of electronics, smart devices, and appliances, it is a straightforward upgrade with real protective value.
We are based in Commack and work throughout western Suffolk County on a daily basis. Our service area includes Smithtown, Hauppauge, Huntington, Melville, Dix Hills, Nesconset, Kings Park, and Centerport, along with the neighborhoods in between.
Local ownership means we're accountable to our own community. When you call, you reach someone who knows the area, knows the housing stock, and has worked in neighborhoods like yours. We are not a distant operation sending whoever is available. We are your neighbors, and we stand behind the work we do here.
Electrical work can feel uncertain when you do not know what it will cost. We address that directly. Every job starts with an honest assessment of what needs to be done and what it will cost before any work begins. You are not pressured into approving work you did not ask for, and you are not handed a bill that does not match what was discussed.
When you call for a quote, we ask the right questions, give you a clear picture of the scope, and schedule the work at a time that fits your day. Affordable rates come from doing the job efficiently and correctly the first time, not from cutting corners on materials or skipping steps.
If you have been putting off electrical work because you were not sure what it would cost, a quick call is all it takes to find out.
Flickering lights, outlets that feel warm or look discolored, a burning smell near a receptacle or panel, and breakers that trip repeatedly are all reasons to call the same day. Sparking outlets and a breaker that trips and will not reset are especially urgent. Same-day electrical service is available for calls like these, so do not wait to see if the problem clears on its own.
Yes, same-day service is available for urgent repairs throughout Commack and the surrounding Suffolk County communities. When you call, let us know the situation and we will tell you what we can fit in that day. The earlier in the day you call, the easier it is to get you on the schedule.
A brief description of the problem or the work you want done is usually enough to get started. For repairs, tell us what you are seeing: which outlet or circuit is affected, whether the breaker has tripped, and how long the issue has been happening. For larger projects like a panel upgrade or rewiring, we may want to ask a few more questions or schedule a time to assess the work in person before giving you a final number.
We provide no-pressure estimates, priced up front, before any work begins. If we arrive and find that the scope is different from what was described, we tell you before we proceed and give you an updated number. We do not start work and add to the bill after the fact.
A kitchen circuit that trips repeatedly is usually overloaded, or it may point to a wiring issue or a failing breaker. Modern kitchens often need dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, and older homes in Suffolk County frequently were not wired with that in mind. Call us and we will diagnose what is causing the trips and let you know whether a new circuit or a breaker replacement is the right fix.
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the panel, the affected areas, and any locked spaces the work requires. If you cannot be there yourself, another adult who can show our crew what needs attention and authorize the work is fine. Let us know when you schedule and we will work out the timing together.
Yes, that helps the job move faster. If the panel is in a closet, utility room, or garage with items stored in front of it, clearing a few feet of space around it before we arrive saves time. For outlet or wiring work in finished rooms, moving furniture away from the walls in the affected area is appreciated but not required.
A licensed electrician will introduce themselves, ask you to walk them through the issue or the project, and then assess the work before quoting. Once you approve the price, work begins. We treat your property with care, clean up after the job, and walk you through what was done before we leave.
For routine work like outlet additions, lighting installs, or ceiling fan replacements, a few days to a week is usually enough lead time. Larger projects like panel upgrades or whole-home rewiring may take a bit more coordination. Call (631) 426-2879 and we will give you a realistic timeframe based on what you need.
Payment is due when the job is complete. We go over the final scope with you before we start, so the number at the end matches what was agreed to at the beginning. We do not ask for large deposits on standard residential work.
EAM Electrical Contractors is ready to take your call today. Whether you need same-day service for an urgent repair or you want to schedule a panel upgrade, a rewiring project, or an EV charger installation, we are here to help.
We test every circuit. We label every breaker. We leave it safe.

| Wiring & Circuit Installation |
| homeowners finishing a basement, adding a workshop, or bringing older wiring up to code | Proper grounding and bonding are not optional extras. They are part of every wiring job we do, and they protect both people and equipment. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| homeowners or tenants with an active electrical problem | Same-day service is available for urgent repairs. We find the source of the problem, not just the symptom, before any work begins. |
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded?
A few signs point clearly to an undersized or aging panel: breakers that trip frequently under normal use, a panel that runs warm to the touch, breakers that will not reset, or a fuse box that has never been replaced. If you are planning to add an EV charger, finish a basement, or bring in a high-draw appliance, we perform a load calculation to tell you whether your current service can handle the added demand before any work begins.
What causes a breaker to keep tripping?
Repeated tripping usually points to one of three things: a circuit that is carrying more load than it was sized for, a failing breaker that no longer holds reliably, or a wiring problem somewhere on the circuit. A kitchen with too many appliances on one line is a common example. We diagnose the actual cause first so the fix addresses the real problem, not just the symptom.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Work that requires a permit under New York State and local Suffolk County code is pulled and inspected accordingly. Our electricians understand the permitting process and coordinate with inspectors when the job calls for it. We do not skip steps that protect you and your property.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We price the job before we start it. You know what the work costs before our electricians pick up a tool, and the number at the end matches what was agreed to at the beginning.
My home was built in the 1950s. Is the wiring safe?
It depends on what is there and whether it has been modified over the years. Homes from that era may have knob-and-tube wiring, early two-wire systems without a ground, or a mix of original and added circuits. A safety inspection tells you what is active, what has been updated, and what needs attention. We assess the system honestly and walk you through the options.
What does an EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt dedicated circuit, similar to what an electric dryer uses. We run the circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway, install the charger, and confirm the panel has the capacity to support the added load. If the panel needs attention first, we let you know before the charger goes in. Most installations are completed in a single visit.
How do backup generators connect to the home?
A standby generator connects through a transfer switch wired to your panel. The transfer switch automatically disconnects the home from utility power during an outage and switches to generator power, then reverses when utility power returns. We handle the transfer switch installation, all generator wiring, and the panel connections. Proper installation eliminates the back-feed hazard that comes with improper hookups.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, from a single outlet replacement to a full panel upgrade, is handled by licensed electricians who understand the code requirements for Suffolk County and Long Island homes.
What are the risks of aluminum branch wiring?
Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper as it heats and cools. Over time, that movement can loosen connections at outlets, fixtures, and switches, which creates heat and increases the risk of arcing. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s commonly have aluminum branch wiring. We assess which circuits are affected and develop a remediation plan, which may involve replacing devices with aluminum-rated hardware, rewiring affected circuits, or a combination of both.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the panel, the work areas, and any locked spaces the job requires. If you cannot be there yourself, another adult who can show our crew what needs attention and authorize the work is fine. Let us know when you schedule and we will work out the timing together.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We work in homes built decades apart, from houses with original knob-and-tube circuits to new construction needing EV charger hookups. The approach is the same: assess honestly, price clearly, and do the work right.
How does pricing work, and will the cost change after you arrive?
Every job starts with an honest assessment of what needs to be done and what it will cost before any work begins. If we arrive and find that the scope is different from what was described, we tell you before we proceed and give you an updated number. We do not start work and add to the bill after the fact. You get no-pressure estimates, priced up front.
What do flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickering when a large appliance starts up is common and usually just a load issue on a shared circuit. Persistent flickering, lights that dim in multiple rooms at once, or flickering that comes with a buzzing sound can point to a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a wiring issue that warrants a closer look. If it is happening regularly, it is worth a call.
Is same-day service available for urgent electrical problems?
Yes. Same-day service is available for urgent repairs throughout Commack and the surrounding communities. When you call, describe what you are seeing and we will tell you what we can fit in that day. Sparking outlets, a burning smell near a panel or receptacle, and a breaker that will not reset are situations where you should call right away rather than waiting.
