Glocester Electrical Services
From emergency repairs to panel upgrades and rewiring, GEM handles every electrical need in your Glocester home.
Whether facing an immediate problem or planning improvements, our licensed Glocester electricians deliver safe, code-compliant work. Here’s what we provide:
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies in rural areas can’t wait for daylight.
Sparking receptacles, burning odors, sudden blackout. These situations can’t wait, especially when you’re miles from help. Our electricians take emergency calls around the clock and make the drive to Glocester when dangerous conditions arise. Main breaker failures, storm damage, burned wiring—we respond when you need us.
Electrical Repair
Daily use creates wear that eventually shows as flickering lights, unreliable outlets, or tripping breakers.
Switches wear out from daily use. Connections loosen over time. In Glocester homes with systems added across generations, these issues compound with mixed-age wiring. What starts as flickering lights becomes unreliable outlets, then tripped breakers. Our repairs trace problems to their source and fix them correctly so they don’t resurface.
Electrical Installation
New electrical work requires expertise, precision, and professional execution.
Correct electrical installation requires training and attention to detail. In rural properties where systems have been patched over decades, proper technique matters even more. We install circuits, panels, fixtures, and equipment following current codes. Work passes inspection and performs reliably for years.
Electrical Maintenance
Routine maintenance spots small issues before they develop into safety hazards.
Electrical systems experience wear over time that affects performance. In older Glocester homes with systems added over generations, connections may need closer attention. Leaving minor problems unaddressed raises the risk of safety issues, reduced efficiency, or expensive damage to wiring and appliances. Scheduled maintenance identifies problems early and keeps your system running properly. Our electricians conduct thorough inspections, tighten connections, test components, and verify everything meets safety standards.
Standby Generators
Rural power lines go down more often and take longer to restore. In Glocester, backup power is essential.
When a storm knocks out power near the state forest, restoration can take days. Your well pump, refrigerator, heating system, and sump pump all need electricity to protect your home and family. GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home generators for Glocester homeowners who refuse to wait out multi-day outages in the dark.
- Generator Repair: Generator won’t start? Running without producing adequate power? Making unusual sounds? Our technicians diagnose and resolve generator problems so your backup system stands ready for the next storm.
- Generator Replacement: Generators lose efficiency with age. When yours struggles to start, runs rough, or can’t handle current demands, upgrading delivers better performance and fuel economy for the next extended outage.
- Generator Maintenance: Annual service ensures generators remain dependable through outage season. We verify fluids, test batteries, examine connections, conduct load tests, and confirm transfer switches function correctly. A maintained generator starts when you need it.
- Generator Installation: GEM provides generator installation in Glocester with units that connect directly to your electrical panel and engage within seconds of an outage. We size generators to keep your home operational through extended outages and handle all installation, permitting, and testing.
Lighting Services
Rural properties benefit from security lighting that urban homes don’t need.
Long driveways, outbuildings, and wooded lots require lighting that guides visitors, deters intruders, and makes your property safer after dark. We design and install lighting systems suited to rural properties—task lighting where you work, ambient lighting where you relax, and security lighting for driveways, outbuildings, and wooded approaches.
- Outdoor Lighting: GEM installs outdoor lighting in Glocester for driveways, walkways, outbuildings, and the longer approaches common on rural properties. We use weather-resistant fixtures engineered to perform through New England’s demanding seasons.
- Indoor Lighting: GEM provides indoor lighting installation in Glocester including recessed fixtures, pendant lights, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmer controls. We install lighting that complements your home while improving how each space functions. Energy-efficient options reduce electricity costs without sacrificing brightness.

Additional Electrical Services
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Your panel distributes power to every circuit throughout your home.
Outdated panels can’t meet modern electrical demands. Overloaded circuits result in tripped breakers, dimming lights, and fire hazards. Panels containing obsolete technology like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers carry documented safety risks. Many older Glocester homes have panels that were sized for a different era of electrical use. GEM provides electrical panel upgrades in Glocester to satisfy current codes and handle today’s loads. We also service existing panels, replace failing breakers, and add circuits when your home needs expanded capacity.
Smart Home Services
Control your home’s systems from your phone or through voice commands.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks. These conveniences simplify daily life and can reduce energy expenses. Smart thermostats work anywhere with internet service, giving Glocester homeowners remote control over comfort. GEM installs and configures smart home technology, ensuring devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them. We help Glocester homeowners embrace modern convenience without connectivity headaches.
EV Chargers
Charge your electric vehicle overnight at home.
Public charging options are limited in rural areas, making home charging essential for electric vehicle owners. Level 2 chargers add 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, providing full charges while you sleep. GEM provides EV charger installation in Glocester for all vehicle makes and models. We evaluate your panel capacity, install dedicated circuits, and position chargers conveniently for your garage or driveway.
Heat Cabling Systems
Electric heat cables prevent costly winter damage in Rhode Island homes.
Ice dams damage roofs and cause leaks. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces freeze and burst. Heat cables address both problems effectively. Glocester’s elevation and earlier winters make these protections especially valuable. We install roof and gutter cables that prevent ice accumulation, plus pipe heat cables that keep water flowing during cold snaps. Thermostatic controls activate only when needed, keeping energy costs reasonable.
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
These devices save lives, but only when they function properly.
Carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless. Smoke detectors provide crucial minutes to escape fires. Dead batteries, expired sensors, and poor placement render these lifesaving devices useless. Homes with wood stoves and propane equipment need reliable CO detection. GEM installs hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup throughout Glocester homes. We position units according to code, interconnect them so all alarms activate together, and confirm your family has adequate warning time.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Older homes often contain wiring that cannot safely meet modern electrical loads.
Many Glocester properties have electrical systems added over generations, with mixed-age wiring and connections that don’t meet current standards. Flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, and outlets that feel warm indicate systems needing attention. GEM provides rewiring services in Glocester safely and with minimal disruption. Whether updating one room or rewiring your entire home, our electricians work carefully around existing finishes while bringing everything to current code.
Outlets
Modern households need more outlets positioned throughout living spaces.
Two-prong receptacles can’t accept grounded plugs. Kitchens and baths require GFCI protection. Home offices need dedicated circuits rather than overloaded power strips. Outdoor outlets demand weatherproof enclosures. We install outlets where you need them, upgrade two-prong receptacles to grounded outlets, add GFCI and AFCI protection where code requires, and replace worn outlets that won’t hold plugs securely.
Surge Protector Services
Storm activity and aging infrastructure expose Glocester homes to damaging power surges.
Rural power lines experience more fluctuations and lightning exposure. Computers, televisions, smart appliances, and HVAC systems with electronic controls are all vulnerable. Power strips provide incomplete protection. GEM installs whole-home surge protectors in Glocester at your electrical panel, stopping surges before they reach your equipment. We also add point-of-use protection for sensitive devices needing extra defense.

Glocester Electrical FAQs
Why is a generator more important for rural properties?
Rural power lines go down more often due to tree exposure and weather, and restoration takes longer because crews prioritize areas serving more customers. When your well pump needs electricity to provide water and your heating system needs power to run, multi-day outages become serious problems.
My farmhouse has electrical work added over many years. Is that a safety concern?
It can be. Mixed-age wiring, improper connections between systems, and overloaded circuits are common in older rural homes. We can inspect your system and identify any safety issues, then recommend targeted updates where needed.
How do I know if my panel can handle a generator?
We assess your current panel capacity and condition as part of generator installation planning. Some panels need upgrading to accommodate generator transfer switches, while others have adequate capacity. We explain what’s needed for your specific situation.
Should I be concerned about surge damage in rural areas?
Yes. Rural power lines experience more fluctuations from grid switching and lightning exposure. Whole-home surge protection is more important for Glocester properties than for homes in more urban areas with newer infrastructure.
Do you really provide same-day service to Glocester?
Yes. Same-day appointments are often available even in northwest Rhode Island. Our large fleet and scheduling team ensure we serve rural communities with the same responsiveness as urban areas.
