Updating Systems That Power Your Home Safely

If your breaker panel is crowded with double-tapped circuits, outlets in your Horseheads home lack grounding, or you are adding a workshop or home office that needs dedicated power, the electrical system needs attention before problems escalate. Older homes in this area often have outdated wiring, insufficient amperage, or panels that were never designed to handle modern appliance loads, and continuing to add devices without upgrading the system can lead to tripped breakers, overheating, or fire hazards. McComis Properties provides residential electrical services for upgrades, remodels, and new construction, with a focus on safety, code compliance, and careful planning.

This service includes panel upgrades, circuit additions, outlet and switch installation, wiring for new rooms or additions, lighting installation, and electrical rough-in for kitchens and bathrooms. The work follows National Electrical Code standards and local inspection requirements, and is planned to minimize disruption while ensuring that every connection is secure and properly grounded. Whether you need a single circuit added or a full service upgrade, the approach prioritizes detail and clear communication.

The process starts with an assessment of your current panel, circuit capacity, and any wiring that needs replacement or rerouting. In Horseheads, you will often see older cloth-insulated wiring or aluminum branch circuits that require updating to meet current safety standards. New circuits are run through walls or attics using romex cable, with boxes installed for outlets, switches, and fixtures. Panel upgrades involve replacing the old breaker box with a larger service rated for modern loads, including a new main breaker and properly labeled circuits.

After the work is complete, you will notice outlets hold plugs securely, lights do not flicker when appliances turn on, and breakers stay set during normal use. All circuits are tested for proper voltage and grounding, and the panel is left clearly labeled so you know which breaker controls each area of the home.

The service covers work inside the home and up to the meter base, but does not include utility service upgrades or pole-to-house service drops, which are handled by the power company. Job sites are kept clean with minimal drywall damage, and any necessary patching is done before finishing.
