What we see most in Newport

Newport has some of the oldest housing stock in Rhode Island, and it shows up in the electrical work. Colonial and Victorian homes around the Point, Historic Hill and Kay Street were wired long before modern demand, and many still run on undersized services, ungrounded two-prong outlets or surviving knob-and-tube.

Common jobs

Electrical work in Newport

Service upgrades in older homes

100-amp services and fuse panels struggle with modern kitchens, heat pumps and car chargers. Upgrading to 200 amps is one of the most common jobs we do in Newport.

Rewiring without tearing the house apart

Working in a historic home means fishing wire through plaster and lath, not cutting channels through it. Our electricians leave the finishes intact.

Commercial and hospitality work

Restaurants, shops and inns around Thames Street and Broadway, including fire alarm systems and code upgrades.

Short-term rental fire alarm upgrades

Rental properties have their own fire alarm and code requirements. We design, install and inspect systems that meet them.

Whether it is a single outlet in a Point-area cottage or a full fire alarm system for a commercial property downtown, the same RI-licensed team handles it.
