"They were prompt and did great work. I had my wiring upgraded from 110 watt to a 220 watt panel. They also had my lighting run off 1 switch witch made my life easier. I would recommend B&K again."

"Everything went perfect from start to finish. Chris responded to my inquiry that very evening and we set up a date to have an estimate for the replacement on my old fuse box panel. Randy his technician went through everything in detail that needed to be done to upgrade my sevice to 200 amps and the added safety features. At that point I knew I had the right person for the job. I signed the contract that day to have the work done. Randy and his co-worker (sorry forgot his name) arrived on time and completed the work that day and for the exact price I signed the contract for. I'll be calling them back in September to have more work done. Don't hesitate to call Chris."

"Lost power to my home office hub/work center (WIFI, connected cable, land line, computers, printers, etc). I wasn't able to secure an appointment for days considering the holiday is right around the corner and I have limited availability. I had put the word out and DP Electric was the last to reach out to me and was able to quickly address my issue and had my home office up and running and fully operational. DP Electric saved my week allowing me to do damage control and keep my holiday plans on schedule. Thanks guys!"

"John and Ryan came on time to check the electrical connection on our Jenn-Air cooktop. They checked the main box and the electrical box by the cooktop. They diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed the connections with the correct kind of wire connectors. While here they also updated an electrical switch. They did all of this within the original estimate S&S provided over the phone. Thanks!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Had a Tornado hit my house and ripped out my mains power. Figured I'd upgrade the panel while I was at it and have a generator outlet installed for when I lose power again. Nick was VERY professional - gave me a quote, showed up on time, answered all of my questions, and the price was exactly where I expected it to be. Job was very well done. When the power went back on, my fridge didn't have power. He helped me pull the fridge out to find a GFI outlet, and he helped me reset it. Was really just a huge help! The guy is clearly a hard worker who really knows what he's doing. What I love is that I didn't talk to a sales guy who then sent a couple of kids to do the job. I got a quote, and the guy I spoke to did the work. That's awesome. I can't recommend this guy highly enough! Will reach out for any and all electrical work in the future."

"I contacted NRG Electric because we had an emergency situation. The main power connecting to the meter was toast and the panel was getting fried. Josh and Mark came in and identified the issues, made it temporarily safe, got the materials and replaced the meter and panel. They also ensured that the pre-existing wiring, and loads on that wiring was safe. I was without power for a total of 4 hours. They were absolute professionals. When they left there was no sign that they had ever been there other than a new box and panel. Great Service, respected our time and property, ultimately concerned with the safety of my family and property. I will 100% utilize there service again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Oakland, RI

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
