"Cole Electric has good communication with the customer from your first inquiry, email & text follow up . They requested photos of what I need to address so they understand all aspects of the job. The office contacted me to say the electrician could arrive early. The 2 electricians were professional knowledgeable and addressed my concerns. The ceiling fan installed by someone else was missing screws on the down rod as well as other things not done correctly. They replaced the missing screws, rebuilt the fan and reinstalled it. No more wobble. The 2 under cabinet light fixtures were installed perfectly, no extra cables showing. You get what you pay for and Cole Electric electricians do the job right the first time. I recommend this company and will use them again."

"Everything went very well. James was fantastic! Very professional and friendly. Gave advice on how to fix minor electrical issues on my own. Goes above and beyond by letting u know other electrical problems found within the home (he took a picture and showed me....problem was in the attic). Overall, I would used this company again."

"E C Electronics did a great job installing our 65" OLED TV. Hid wires, to the AV system up and running, etc. They also took our ceiling fan down, mounted two Ring Door Bells (ran electric for one of them, mounted a Ring Flood cam and a few other misc. items. They communicated very well about everything. I would definitely hire them again!"

"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

For minor electrical tasks in Smithfield, like changing light fixtures or resetting breakers, always shut off power at the breaker panel and use a voltage tester to confirm it’s safe. Keep hands and tools dry, especially with Smithfield’s humidity. Never attempt repairs during storms or on older, unfamiliar wiring. If you encounter unexpected issues, contact a local professional to ensure your project meets safety and code requirements.

Helpful?

In Smithfield, be cautious of quotes that are unusually low, missing details about the scope of work, or that skip mention of necessary permits. If a contractor can’t provide local references or pressures you to commit quickly, consider it a warning sign. Reliable professionals will address unique Smithfield home needs, especially for historic properties, and clearly explain their process for electrical projects.

Helpful?

Homes in Smithfield built before 1960, especially those with two-prong outlets or knob-and-tube wiring, often need electrical upgrades. Watch for frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or outlets that feel warm—these are signs your system may be outdated. Given Smithfield’s humidity and frequent storms, older wiring is more vulnerable. Addressing these issues helps protect your home and ensures it meets current safety standards.

Helpful?

Address electrical fires, exposed wires, or burning odors in your Smithfield home immediately, as these are urgent hazards. Frequent breaker trips or persistent flickering lights should be resolved within a month. Upgrades for convenience or energy efficiency, like adding outlets, can wait a few months. Schedule major electrical projects before hurricane season, and consider generator installation ahead of winter to ensure year-round safety.

Helpful?

Smithfield has residential contractors for home upgrades, specialists in historic home electrical restoration, and commercial electricians for local businesses and farms. Some focus on generator installation, which is valuable during coastal storms. Others handle smart home upgrades, electric vehicle charging, or pool wiring. Emergency electricians are also available, which is especially important given Smithfield’s older infrastructure and frequent severe weather.
