Lincoln Electrical Services
From emergency repairs to full rewiring, GEM handles every electrical need in your Lincoln home.
Whether you’re dealing with an urgent issue or planning an upgrade, our licensed Lincoln electricians deliver safe, code-compliant work. Here’s what we offer:
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
Sparking outlets, burning smells, total power loss. These situations demand immediate attention. Waiting until morning isn’t an option when your family’s safety is at stake. GEM’s licensed electricians respond to emergency calls 24/7 throughout Lincoln. We arrive quickly, diagnose the problem, and make your home safe again. Whether it’s a tripped main breaker at midnight or an outlet that’s smoking, we handle urgent electrical issues when they happen.
Electrical Installation
New electrical work requires precision, knowledge, and professional expertise.
Installing new electrical systems requires the skill, knowledge, and experience of a professional electrician. Whether it’s rewiring a section of your home, upgrading your electrical panel, or adding new fixtures, precision and safety are key to getting the job done right. At GEM, we proudly provide Lincoln with professional electrical installation services. Our team knows it’s not enough to just have systems that work; they must be installed correctly to ensure long-term safety, efficiency, and reliability.
Electrical Repair
Wear and tear can lead to flickering lights, faulty outlets, or tripping circuits.
Every time you flip that switch or plug in that device, your electrical systems are being used and developing wear. Over time, this normal wear can lead to problems like flickering lights, faulty outlets, or circuits that trip unexpectedly. These issues can be frustrating and even dangerous if left unchecked. An electrical repair from GEM can get your electrical systems back up and running like new again. Our team is trained to quickly diagnose and repair electrical problems of any size, ensuring your system runs safely, efficiently, and reliably once again.
Electrical Maintenance
Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become safety hazards.
Over time, electrical systems can develop wear and tear that keeps them from working at their best. The longer these minor issues go unresolved, the greater the risk of safety hazards, inefficiency, or even costly damage to your home’s wiring and appliances. Regular electrical maintenance helps catch small problems early and keeps your system operating smoothly. GEM’s electricians perform thorough inspections, tighten connections, test components, and ensure everything meets safety standards, giving you peace of mind and dependable power year-round.
Generators
Power outages in Lincoln can last hours or days. A generator keeps your home running.
Nor’easters knock out power across entire neighborhoods. Ice storms bring down lines. When the grid fails, a standby generator kicks in automatically, keeping your lights on, refrigerator cold, and sump pump running. GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home generators for Lincoln homeowners who refuse to be left in the dark.
- Generator Repair: Generator won’t start? Running but not producing full power? Making unusual noises? Our technicians diagnose and fix generator problems so your backup system is ready when the next storm hits.
- Generator Replacement: Older generators lose efficiency and reliability. If yours struggles to start, runs rough, or can’t handle your current electrical load, upgrading to a modern unit delivers better performance and lower fuel costs.
- Generator Maintenance: Annual maintenance keeps generators reliable. We check oil, test batteries, inspect connections, run load tests, and verify automatic transfer switches work correctly. A maintained generator starts when you need it.
- Generator Installation: GEM provides generator installation in Lincoln with units that connect directly to your electrical panel and start within seconds of a power failure. We help you select the right size for your home’s needs and handle all installation, permitting, and testing.
Indoor & Outdoor Lighting
Good lighting changes how you use and enjoy every room.
The right fixtures in the right places make your home more functional, comfortable, and attractive. Poor lighting strains your eyes, wastes energy, and makes spaces feel smaller than they are. GEM’s electricians design and install lighting systems that fit how you actually live, from task lighting in kitchens to ambient lighting in living spaces to security lighting outside.
- Outdoor Lighting: GEM installs outdoor lighting in Lincoln to guide visitors safely, deter intruders, and highlight your home’s best features. We use weather-resistant fixtures that perform through Rhode Island’s harsh seasons.
- Indoor Lighting: GEM provides indoor lighting installation in Lincoln including recessed lights, pendant fixtures, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmer switches. We install lighting that matches your style and improves how each room works. Energy-efficient options cut electricity costs without sacrificing brightness.

Additional Electrical Services
EV Charger Installation
Charge your electric vehicle overnight in your own garage.
Public charging stations work for occasional top-ups, but daily drivers need reliable home charging. A Level 2 charger adds 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, meaning a full charge overnight instead of waiting at a public station.
GEM provides EV charger installation in Lincoln for all vehicle makes and models. We assess your electrical panel’s capacity, run dedicated circuits, and mount chargers where they’re most convenient for your parking setup.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
These devices save lives, but only when they work properly.
Carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible. Smoke detectors give you minutes to escape a fire. Dead batteries, expired sensors, and poor placement turn life-saving devices into useless plastic.
GEM installs hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup throughout Lincoln homes. We place detectors according to code requirements, interconnect them so all alarms sound together, and ensure your family has the warning time they need.
Smart Home
Control your home’s systems from your phone or voice commands.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks. These devices make life more convenient and can reduce energy costs. But they need proper electrical infrastructure to work reliably.
GEM installs and integrates smart home equipment, ensuring devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them. We help Lincoln homeowners modernize without the frustration of troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Electrical Panels
Your panel controls every circuit in your home.
Older panels can’t handle modern electrical demands. Too many appliances on too few circuits means tripped breakers, flickering lights, and potential fire hazards. Panels with outdated technology like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers pose serious safety risks.
GEM provides electrical panel upgrades in Lincoln to meet current code requirements and handle today’s electrical loads. We also repair existing panels, replace faulty breakers, and add circuits when your home needs more capacity.
Heat Cabling Systems
Prevent ice dams and frozen pipes with electric heat cables.
Rhode Island winters create ice dams on roofs that damage shingles and cause leaks. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces freeze and burst. Heat cables solve both problems.
GEM installs roof and gutter heat cables that melt ice before it builds up, plus pipe heat cables that keep water flowing through cold snaps. Proper installation and controls ensure cables run only when needed, keeping energy costs reasonable.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Old wiring can’t handle how we use electricity today.
Original wiring in older Lincoln homes was designed for a few lights and a radio. Aluminum wiring from the 1970s creates fire risks at connections. Even homes from the 1990s may have undersized wiring for today’s electronics and appliances.
GEM provides rewiring services in Lincoln safely and with minimal disruption. Whether you need a single room updated or whole-house rewiring, our electricians work carefully around existing finishes and bring your home up to current electrical codes.
Outlets
Modern homes need more outlets in more places.
Two-prong outlets can’t accept grounded plugs. Outlets in kitchens and bathrooms need GFCI protection. Home offices need enough receptacles to avoid daisy-chaining power strips. Outdoor outlets need weatherproof covers.
GEM installs, replaces, and upgrades outlets throughout Lincoln homes. We add circuits where you need more capacity, install GFCI and AFCI protection where code requires it, and replace worn outlets that no longer hold plugs securely.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
One lightning strike or power surge can destroy thousands in electronics.
Computers, TVs, appliances with circuit boards, HVAC systems with electronic controls. A surge lasting milliseconds can fry them all. Power strips offer limited protection for individual devices, but surges can enter through any wire in your home.
GEM installs whole-home surge protectors in Lincoln at your electrical panel, stopping surges before they reach your devices. We also install point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment that needs extra defense.

Lincoln Electrical FAQs
Why are my lights flickering?
Flickering lights in Lincoln homes can be caused by loose wiring, a failing bulb, or an overloaded circuit. Older housing stock is especially prone to this issue. If it happens frequently, it’s best to have a licensed electrician inspect your system to prevent potential safety hazards.
What causes circuit breakers to trip?
Breakers trip when too much electricity flows through a circuit, protecting your home from overheating or electrical fires. In many Lincoln homes, undersized panels can’t handle modern electrical demands. Common causes include overloaded outlets, faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning appliance.
What causes an outlet to spark?
A brief spark when plugging something in can be normal, but frequent or large sparks may indicate damaged wiring or a loose connection. Lincoln’s older homes with aging wiring are more susceptible. Have a licensed electrician check it right away to ensure your outlet is safe.
How long do electrical systems last in Lincoln?
Electrical system lifespan varies depending on the type and maintenance frequency. Older wiring may still function but often needs updating to handle modern loads safely. A licensed electrician can assess your specific situation.
Can LED lights save Lincoln homeowners money?
Yes, LED lights use significantly less energy and last much longer than traditional bulbs. For Lincoln homeowners dealing with high New England electricity rates, LEDs can noticeably lower bills while reducing the need for frequent replacements.
