"Getting scheduled was a little difficult but I can't deduct any stars for that. Clearly Moses Electric is busy because they do quality work and the communication on getting scheduled was fantastic. I had them do four different things; they gave me a fair price and did it quickly and cleanly. They cleaned up after themselves -- no pieces of copper or wire jacketing laying around for the dog to find. I couldn't be happier."

"I understand that this company has lots of five star reviews and although they did get electric to new LED mirrors, which is essentially the reason why you would hire an electrician, the minor details are the problems in this case as well as the quote and the final charge. Without any consent threw parts that came with the mirrors into his Home Depot bucket and just walked out with them because he or the apprentice thought I ?didn?t need them when in fact, I do need them. They are the parts to finish putting the mirrors together, side panels. Each mirror came with four brackets to mount on the top they threw away two from each. The screws that came with the unit were not used and mismatched screws instead which look like he took from a breakdown of another old home. Truck that came to do the job was Hamilton Electric and NOT PEAK POWER. person I was chatting with online and said he was going to be coming out is not who was here. So different company truck and different person."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Portsmouth, NH

Electrical wiring can last between 50 and 70 years if properly installed and maintained. However, factors like moisture damage and overloading outlets can shorten this lifespan. To extend your wiring's life, unplug electronics when not in use, avoid overloading outlets, and schedule regular electrical inspections every five to ten years.

If your house was built in the 1960s and hasn't been rewired, it likely needs it. Older homes may have outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, which poses fire risks due to flammable insulation. Rewiring ensures safety and may also require updating your circuit panel, outlets, switches, and fixtures. Contact a local electrician to help with your rewiring needs.

Yes, rewiring your house is worth it, especially if your wiring is outdated. It improves safety by reducing fire risks and can increase your property's value. However, you may not need a full rewire. A home inspector can tell you if a partial rewire will bring your home up to code.

Yes, you can sometimes rewire a house without removing walls. Electricians might access wiring through attics, basements, or crawl spaces, or make small holes to run new wires. However, this isn't always possible, and in some cases, removing sections of walls is necessary to ensure the wiring is installed safely and meets code.

A house should typically be rewired every 25 years to maintain safety. Over time, wiring deteriorates, increasing fire risks. Regular electrical inspections every five to ten years help assess the need for rewiring. Staying proactive with maintenance ensures a safe, efficient electrical system and prevents potential hazards before they become serious issues.
