Smithfield Electrical Services
From urgent repairs to comprehensive upgrades, GEM handles every electrical need in your Smithfield home.
Whether facing an immediate problem or planning improvements, our licensed Smithfield electricians deliver safe, code-compliant work. Here’s what we provide:
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies require immediate response regardless of your location.
Outlets sparking, burning odor from a panel, total power loss. These situations can’t wait. Properties outside the village deserve the same fast response as those near main roads.
GEM electricians take emergency calls around the clock throughout Smithfield. We reach Stillwater properties as fast as homes near the Lincoln line. Midnight breaker failures, smoking outlets during dinner—we respond when electrical emergencies hit.
Electrical Installation
New electrical work demands proper training and precise execution.
Adding circuits, upgrading panels, installing fixtures—these projects require professional skills to ensure safety and code compliance. Shortcuts create problems that surface later.
GEM installs electrical systems throughout Smithfield with attention to lasting performance and safety.
Electrical Repair
Everyday use gradually wears electrical components until problems appear.
Switches, outlets, and connections wear down over years of use. Eventually you notice flickering fixtures, outlets that don’t hold plugs, or breakers that trip without clear cause. Ignoring these signs allows hazards to develop.
GEM repairs electrical problems of every type, restoring systems to safe, reliable operation.
Electrical Maintenance
Periodic inspection catches developing problems before they become hazards.
Electrical components wear gradually. Small issues left unaddressed become safety risks or cause equipment damage. Scheduled maintenance identifies concerns early.
GEM electricians inspect systems, tighten connections, test components, and verify everything meets safety requirements.
Generators
Power failures in Smithfield can stretch for days. A generator maintains essential functions when utility power disappears.
Rural properties often wait longer for restoration after storms. Standby generators engage automatically, keeping lights on, food cold, and well pumps and sump pumps running until grid power returns.
GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home generators for Smithfield homeowners who refuse to be left without power.
- Generator Repair: Generator failing to start? Running but underpowered? Making strange noises? GEM technicians troubleshoot and fix generator issues so your backup power works when storms hit.
- Generator Replacement: Older generators become less dependable over time. Units that start hard, run rough, or struggle under load benefit from replacement with current models offering better efficiency and reliability.
- Generator Maintenance: Yearly service keeps generators ready when needed. We check fluids, test starting batteries, inspect wiring, run load tests, and verify automatic transfer operation. Maintained units start reliably during outages.
- Generator Installation: GEM installs standby generators in Smithfield that tie directly into your main panel and activate seconds after power fails. We size units to your household’s requirements and manage permitting, installation, and startup testing.
Indoor & Outdoor Lighting
Good lighting changes how rooms function and improves security on rural properties.
Well-placed fixtures make spaces more useful, welcoming, and safe. Poor lighting causes eye strain, wastes power, and leaves property vulnerable after dark.
GEM electricians plan and install lighting suited to how you live, from focused task lighting to relaxed ambient settings to exterior security illumination.
- Outdoor Lighting: GEM installs exterior lighting in Smithfield for driveways, walkways, and outbuildings. We select durable fixtures rated for New England weather that provide security and safe navigation across larger properties.
- Indoor Lighting: GEM installs interior lighting throughout Smithfield homes: recessed cans, hanging pendants, cabinet LEDs, dimmer switches. We match fixtures to your style while making rooms work better. Efficient options cut electric bills without dimming output.

Additional Electrical Services
EV Charger Installation
Home charging makes electric vehicle ownership practical in rural areas.
Public chargers are scarce in Smithfield. A Level 2 home charger adds 25-30 miles of range hourly, delivering a full charge overnight while you sleep.
GEM installs EV chargers in Smithfield for all vehicle brands. We assess panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and mount equipment where it works best for your parking setup.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
These devices protect your family, but only when properly installed and maintained.
CO has no smell or color. Smoke alarms buy precious escape time during fires. Dead batteries, worn sensors, and bad placement turn safety equipment into plastic decorations. GEM installs hardwired detectors with battery backup in Smithfield homes.
We locate units per code requirements, interconnect them for simultaneous alarm, and verify your family gets adequate warning.
Smart Home
Manage lighting, climate, and security from your phone or voice assistant.
Smart thermostats, automated lights, video doorbells, connected door locks. These features add convenience and can trim energy costs. But they need solid electrical infrastructure to function reliably.
GEM sets up smart home systems in Smithfield, making sure devices connect properly and your wiring supports them. We help homeowners modernize without frustrating connectivity problems.
Electrical Panels
The panel is command central for your home’s electrical system.
Aging panels lack capacity for current electrical loads. Overworked circuits cause breaker trips, flickering fixtures, and fire risk. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels pose known safety hazards.
GEM upgrades electrical panels in Smithfield to meet code and handle modern demands. We also repair existing panels, swap out failing breakers, and add circuits when capacity runs short.
Heat Cabling Systems
Heat cables prevent ice damage and frozen pipes during Smithfield winters.
Smithfield sits inland where winters run colder than coastal towns. Ice dams tear up roofs and cause interior leaks. Pipes in outside walls and unheated areas freeze and burst.
GEM installs roof and gutter cables that melt ice buildup, plus pipe cables that keep water moving through cold stretches. Thermostatic controls activate cables only when temperatures drop, keeping energy use reasonable.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Old wiring wasn’t built for today’s electrical demands.
Many older Smithfield homes have wiring from before modern appliances existed. Knob-and-tube systems, undersized wire, and crumbling insulation all create hazards.
GEM rewires Smithfield homes with minimal disruption to finishes. Whether you need one room updated or complete house rewiring, our electricians work carefully while bringing everything up to current code.
Outlets
Today’s homes need more receptacles in more locations.
Two-prong outlets won’t accept grounded plugs. Kitchens and bathrooms require GFCI protection. Home offices need enough outlets to avoid daisy-chained power strips. Exterior receptacles need weatherproof covers.
GEM adds, replaces, and upgrades outlets in Smithfield homes. We install new circuits for added capacity, add required GFCI and AFCI protection, and swap worn receptacles that won’t grip plugs.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
One power surge can fry thousands of dollars in electronics instantly.
Computers, TVs, smart appliances, HVAC controls. A millisecond surge damages them all. Rural areas often see more power fluctuations, increasing the need for protection.
GEM installs whole-house surge protectors at your Smithfield panel, blocking surges before they reach equipment. We also add point-of-use protection for sensitive electronics requiring extra defense.

Smithfield Electrical FAQs
Why do my lights flicker?
Flickering usually indicates loose connections, dying bulbs, or overloaded circuits. Properties with older wiring see this more often. Frequent flickering warrants inspection by a licensed electrician to identify hazards.
What makes circuit breakers trip?
Breakers trip to prevent overheating when too much current flows through a circuit. Older Smithfield panels often lack capacity for current electrical demands. Typical causes include overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or appliance malfunctions.
Why does my outlet spark?
Small sparks when plugging in can be normal, but repeated or large sparks indicate wiring damage or loose connections. Older Smithfield properties with original wiring face greater risk. Have a licensed electrician check sparking outlets promptly.
How long do electrical systems last in Smithfield homes?
Lifespan varies by component and maintenance history. Some Smithfield properties, particularly around Georgiaville, still have wiring installed decades ago. Older systems may work but often need upgrading to safely carry modern loads.
Will LED lights reduce my electricity bills?
Yes. LEDs use much less power and outlast traditional bulbs by years. With New England’s high electricity rates, Smithfield homeowners see noticeable savings while avoiding frequent bulb changes.
