Warwick Electrical Services
From urgent repairs to comprehensive upgrades, GEM handles every electrical need in your Warwick home.
Whether facing an immediate problem or planning improvements, our licensed Warwick electricians deliver safe, code-compliant work. Here’s what we provide:
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for convenient hours.
Sparking outlets, burning odors, total power loss. These situations require immediate action. Waiting until morning isn’t safe when your family is at risk. GEM’s licensed electricians take emergency calls 24/7 across Warwick. We arrive fast, identify the problem, and restore safety. Whether it’s a breaker failure at midnight or a scorched outlet at dinnertime, we handle urgent situations when they occur.
Electrical Repair
Regular use creates wear that shows up as flickering lights, loose outlets, or tripping breakers.
Every switch flip and plug insertion wears electrical components over time. Eventually this leads to inconsistent lighting, outlets that don’t grip plugs, or circuits that trip for no clear reason. Ignoring these signs invites bigger problems. GEM’s electrical repairs restore your systems to safe, proper function. Our team diagnoses and fixes electrical issues of any size, ensuring dependable operation.
Electrical Installation
New electrical work demands expertise, precision, and proper execution.
Quality electrical installation requires skills and knowledge that only trained electricians possess. Whether adding circuits, upgrading a panel, or installing fixtures, accuracy and safety determine long-term results. GEM provides professional electrical installation across Warwick. Our team knows that systems must be installed right to deliver lasting safety and reliability.
Electrical Maintenance
Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become safety hazards.
Electrical systems wear over time in ways that affect performance. Leaving minor problems alone raises the risk of safety issues, reduced efficiency, or costly damage to wiring and appliances. Scheduled maintenance catches problems early and keeps your system running well. GEM electricians conduct thorough inspections, tighten connections, test components, and verify everything meets safety standards.
Generators
Coastal storms knock out Warwick’s power more frequently than inland areas. A generator keeps your household running.
When the grid fails, a standby generator activates automatically, maintaining lights, preserving refrigerated food, and keeping your sump pump operational during storm surge. For families near the water, backup power isn’t a luxury. GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home generators for Warwick homeowners who refuse to be left without power.
- Generator Repair: Generator not starting? Running but underpowered? Making strange noises? Our technicians diagnose and fix generator problems so your backup system is ready for the next storm.
- Generator Replacement: Older generators lose dependability over time. If yours starts hard, runs rough, or struggles under load, a new unit delivers better performance and improved fuel efficiency.
- Generator Maintenance: Yearly service keeps generators dependable through storm season. We check fluids, test batteries, inspect connections, run load tests, and verify transfer switches work correctly. A maintained generator starts when needed.
- Generator Installation: GEM installs generators in Warwick with units that tie directly to your electrical panel and activate within seconds of an outage. We size the unit to your household needs and handle installation, permits, and testing.
Indoor & Outdoor Lighting
Good lighting changes how you experience every room.
Well-placed fixtures in the right positions make your home more functional, welcoming, and attractive. Poor lighting strains eyes, wastes power, and makes spaces feel cramped. GEM electricians design and install lighting systems suited to how you live, from task lighting where you work to ambient lighting where you relax to security lighting outside.
- Outdoor Lighting: GEM installs outdoor lighting in Warwick using corrosion-resistant fixtures designed for coastal conditions. We illuminate paths, driveways, decks, and waterfront areas with weather-resistant equipment that holds up to salt air exposure.
- Indoor Lighting: GEM installs indoor lighting in Warwick including recessed fixtures, pendant lights, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmer controls. We install lighting that matches your home while improving how spaces function. Energy-efficient options cut electricity costs without losing brightness.

Additional Electrical Services
Outlets
Today’s households need more outlets in more locations.
Two-prong outlets won’t accept grounded plugs. Kitchen and bath outlets need GFCI protection. Home offices require enough receptacles to avoid dangerous power strip chains. Outdoor outlets need weatherproof covers. GEM installs, replaces, and upgrades outlets in Warwick homes. We add circuits for more capacity, install required GFCI and AFCI protection, and replace worn outlets that don’t grip plugs anymore.
Smart Home
Manage your home’s systems from your phone or voice assistant.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks. These features simplify daily life and can lower energy costs. But they need proper electrical infrastructure to work reliably. GEM installs and configures smart home technology, making sure devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them. We help Warwick homeowners enjoy modern convenience without connectivity problems.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
These devices save lives, but only when they work properly.
Carbon monoxide has no color or smell. Smoke detectors give crucial minutes to escape fires. Dead batteries, worn sensors, and poor placement make these lifesaving devices useless. GEM installs hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup in Warwick homes. We place units according to code, interconnect them so all alarms sound together, and verify your family has adequate warning.
EV Charger Installation
Charge your electric vehicle at home overnight.
Public charging works for occasional use, but daily drivers need reliable overnight charging. Level 2 chargers add 25-30 miles of range per hour, delivering full charges while you sleep instead of detours to public stations. GEM installs EV chargers in Warwick for all vehicle makes and models. We assess your panel capacity, install dedicated circuits, and position chargers conveniently for your garage or driveway.
Electrical Panels
Your panel sends power to every circuit in your home.
Outdated panels can’t handle modern electrical loads. Overloaded circuits cause tripped breakers, dimming lights, and fire hazards. Panels with obsolete technology like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers carry documented safety risks. GEM upgrades electrical panels in Warwick to meet current codes and handle today’s demands. We also service existing panels, replace failing breakers, and add circuits when capacity runs short.
Heat Cabling Systems
Electric heat cables prevent costly winter damage in Rhode Island homes.
Ice dams harm roofs and lead to leaks. Pipes in exterior walls and cold spaces freeze and burst. Heat cables solve both issues. GEM installs roof and gutter cables that melt ice before it builds up, plus pipe cables that keep water flowing during freezing weather. Thermostatic controls activate cables only when needed, keeping energy costs reasonable.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Original wiring wasn’t built for how we use electricity today.
Many homes have wiring designed for basic loads, not modern appliances, electronics, and devices. Aluminum wiring from certain eras creates fire risks at connections. Undersized circuits struggle with current demands. GEM rewires Warwick homes safely and with minimal disruption. Whether updating one room or rewiring the whole house, our electricians work carefully around existing finishes while bringing everything to current code.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Coastal storms and grid fluctuations expose Warwick homes to damaging surges.
Computers, TVs, smart appliances, HVAC controls. A brief surge damages them all. Power strips offer incomplete protection, and surges can enter homes through multiple pathways. GEM installs whole-home surge protectors at your Warwick panel, blocking surges before they reach your equipment. We also add point-of-use protection for sensitive devices needing extra defense.

Warwick Electrical FAQs
How does coastal weather affect electrical systems?
Salt air accelerates corrosion on outdoor electrical equipment, panels, and connections. Coastal storms also cause more frequent power surges and outages. Regular inspections help catch corrosion early, and surge protection guards against storm-related damage.
Do I need special electrical equipment for waterfront properties?
Yes. Outdoor outlets, fixtures, and panels near the water need corrosion-resistant materials rated for marine environments. Standard equipment fails faster in salt air. Weatherproof covers, stainless hardware, and marine-grade wire connections extend equipment life significantly in coastal Warwick locations.
How often should I inspect electrical equipment in coastal areas?
Annual inspections minimum. Salt air exposure means Warwick waterfront properties need more frequent electrical checkups than inland homes. Corrosion develops quickly on connections, panels, and outdoor equipment. Catching deterioration early prevents failures and safety hazards.
Can storms damage my electrical panel?
Yes, through power surges when lightning strikes nearby or when grid power fluctuates during outages. Storm surge flooding can also destroy panels in low-lying areas. Whole-home surge protection defends against electrical spikes. Panels in flood-prone zones should be elevated above potential water levels.
Should I unplug electronics before a hurricane?
Absolutely. Even with surge protection, unplugging sensitive electronics before major storms provides the best defense against power surges. Lightning strikes and grid switching during restoration cause voltage spikes that damage computers, TVs, and appliances. Unplug everything except essentials like refrigerators.
