Your go-to local electrician in town
Last winter, right after one of those icy nights by Lake Champlain, a family called us in a panic. Half their house had no power, and they had space heaters running on extension cords. They said they searched for a local electrician and kept seeing Broadband Man Electric. We showed up that morning, boots still wet from the slush, and got their heat and lights back on before dinner. Moments like that are why we love this work.
Living and working in Colchester, VT means dealing with older homes, long driveways, and weather that changes its mind fast. We have seen what cold snaps and summer storms can do to wiring. And we have spent years helping neighbors feel safe in their homes again.
Electrical help your home might need
electrical service upgrade
A couple near the lake had just bought their first home. It still had an old 60-amp system. Every time they ran the dryer and microwave together, the breaker tripped. We walked them through an electrical service upgrade, explained what it would change, and handled the whole thing. After that, no more juggling appliances. Just simple, steady power that fit their daily life.
generator installation
Power outages are not rare here, especially when heavy snow pulls lines down. One family told us they were tired of losing food in the fridge each winter. We completed a generator installation that kicked on automatically during the next storm. They later said it felt strange, almost funny, that the lights stayed on while the wind howled outside.
electrical rewiring
We once worked on a charming older house that still had outdated wiring hidden behind plaster walls. The owners smelled something faint and smoky near an outlet. That job turned into a careful electrical rewiring project. It took planning and patience, but by the end, the home was safer and ready for modern life, without losing its old character.
electrical panel replacement
A homeowner called after noticing their panel felt warm to the touch. That is never a good sign. We checked it out and recommended an electrical panel replacement. The old panel simply could not handle today’s load. After we swapped it out, the system ran cooler and smoother. Small change on the wall, big change for safety.
electrical panel upgrade
Sometimes the panel is not failing, just too small. A growing family wanted to add a hot tub and a workshop in the garage. We completed an electrical panel upgrade so they could expand without worry. Now they can run tools, lights, and the tub at the same time. That kind of flexibility makes a house feel like it truly fits you.
ev charging installation
Electric vehicles are becoming common around here. One neighbor told us they were tired of charging slowly with a basic outlet. We handled their ev charging installation in the garage, mounted neatly on the wall. The next morning, they had a full battery and a big grin. Faster charging just makes daily life easier.
electrical troubleshooting
Some calls are simple. Others are a mystery. A customer said certain lights flickered only when it rained. We came out for electrical troubleshooting and traced the issue to a small problem with an exterior connection. It was not obvious at first. But once fixed, the flickering stopped. Those small fixes can bring huge peace of mind.
Those are some of the big ones, but honestly we handle a lot more around here:
- Electrical Service Upgrade
- Generator Installation
- Electrical Rewiring
