Branley Electrical Service Inc was founded in 1989. We are an efficiently operated family business whose two trademarks are outstanding quality and customer service. Whether our professional electricians are upgrading your lighting, installing a microwave receptacle in your kitchen, wiring your new home, or remodeling your business we will always bring a passion for our work unequaled in the service industry. We excel at electrical system problem solving. Mastering the art of electrical troubleshooting takes years of experience and skill development. We have those years in practicing this fine art. We thrive in the industry of installing quality generator transfer switches. Although we do not sell generators we do install them. Before purchasing a generator give us a call to receive a brief description of the generator industry and some good sizing advice. Retail and restaurant work has been a major part of our business. We enjoy the teamwork atmosphere and understand the necessity for correct lighting. Our company has been designing lighting layouts to these two industries for over 25 - years and know how to deliver excellent results that will increase your bottom line. Older residential wiring systems like 'Knob & Tube' and 'Old BX (metal jacketed)' cable (usually seen in houses built prior to 1940) have no place in today's homes. The electrical industry has learned much since that type of wiring was designed. We can replace this type wiring with new wiring and help you increase the value of your property. Office and institutional work has enjoyed our hand in the industries due to our devotion to three qualities: Courtesy, Speed and High Quality. We truly enjoy serving the industrial, manufacturing and farming communities. We routinely install variable speed drives, electrical switch gear, control systems and updated lighting for these industries. We understand that minutes equals dollars and that knowledge and turnaround time is first and foremost on your mind.

"Jim was great. He was efficient and adaptable to our requests and was very patient with us in ensuring our light fixture was suspended at the right height. I will be hiring him again for any of our electrical needs!"

"Angela was excellent to work with! She was on time for all appointments, made reasonable recommendations (both price-wise and in line with our tastes). The furniture and rug ordered through Help Me Rhonda are high quality and we are enjoying them. They did take a while to arrive after ordering, so if you need something quickly, ask if they are able to rush orders. We were in no hurry, so it all worked out great for us. Highly recommend!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That’s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it’s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.

A motion detector light may need to be reset due to a number of technical issues. These can include faulty or misadjusted sensors and burned-out bulbs. You may also need to reset a motion sensor after an electrical surge or a power outage, as these can change a light’s settings and cause it to function differently.

Yes, the outdoors is one of the areas where GFCI is always required. The receptacles used outdoors must have a ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, for safety reasons. Not only does GFCI make it safer for operation even in wet locations, including bathrooms, outdoors, basements, and other areas, but also they’ll automatically trip if there’s an imbalance in the circuit, keeping you safe from electrocution and decreasing the risk of an electrical fire.

Simple repairs like replacing bulbs can be DIY projects, but professionals should handle significant electrical repairs to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards.
