Power failures, faulty circuits, outdated panels. Whatever electrical challenge you’re facing, our licensed team has the training and tools to handle it. Decades of experience go into every Tiverton project, delivering electrical systems that work safely and efficiently.
Emergency Electrical
Dangerous electrical situations need immediate expert response.
Total power loss. Burning smells from outlets or panels. Sparking wires. These situations require urgent attention from a licensed electrician. GEM provides Tiverton emergency electrical service around the clock. Our team responds quickly to dangerous conditions, diagnoses problems, and restores safety to your property.
Electrical Repair
When electrical systems quit, fast repairs get your home back to normal.
Breakers tripping constantly. Outlets without power. Lights flickering. Equipment failures disrupt your routine and create real safety concerns. Our Tiverton team diagnoses exactly what’s wrong and fixes it right. We identify the actual problem, explain your options clearly, and restore reliable electrical operation.
Electrical Installation
Adding electrical capacity requires proper installation by licensed professionals.
Setting up home offices. Installing hot tubs. Adding EV charging. These improvements need dedicated circuits properly installed to code. GEM provides electrical installation in Tiverton for equipment, fixtures, and complete systems. We handle permitting, run circuits correctly, and confirm safe operation from day one.
Electrical Maintenance
Regular electrical maintenance catches problems while they’re still manageable.
Connections loosen over time. Breakers wear out. Surge protection degrades. Without periodic checkups, minor issues escalate into expensive emergencies. GEM delivers electrical maintenance in Tiverton that keeps your system running safely. We inspect panels, test circuits, check connections, and spot developing troubles while fixes are still straightforward.
Standby Generators
Power outages shouldn’t shut down your Tiverton farm operation or leave your home in the dark.
Storms knock out power across rural Tiverton regularly. When utilities fail, a standby generator kicks on automatically, keeping your lights, fridge, well pump, and farm equipment running. GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home and farm generators for Tiverton residents and agricultural operations.
- Generator Repair: Generator won’t start? Running but not producing adequate power? Making unusual noises? Our team diagnoses and repairs generator problems so your backup system is ready for the next outage.
- Generator Replacement: Older generators lose efficiency and reliability. If yours struggles to start, runs rough, or can’t support your electrical load, upgrading to a modern unit gives you better performance and lower fuel costs.
- Generator Maintenance: Annual maintenance keeps generators reliable. We check fluids, test batteries, inspect connections, run load tests, and verify automatic transfer switches work correctly. Maintained generators start when you need them.
- Generator Installation: We provide generator installation in Tiverton with units that connect right to your panel and start within seconds of losing utility power. We’ll help you choose the right capacity for your home or farm needs and handle complete installation, permitting, and testing.
Lighting Services
The right lighting makes your property safer, more functional, and more welcoming.
Proper fixtures positioned correctly enhance how you use your space, whether that’s interior rooms, barns, or outdoor areas. Poor lighting strains eyes, wastes energy, and creates safety hazards. Our team designs and installs lighting that fits how you actually use your Tiverton property, from task lighting indoors to barn lighting to security lighting outside.
- Outdoor Lighting: We install outdoor lighting in Tiverton for safe navigation around your property, security, and highlighting features. Weather-resistant fixtures hold up through Rhode Island seasons.
- Indoor Lighting: We provide indoor lighting installation in Tiverton including recessed fixtures, pendant lights, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmer controls. Installations improve aesthetics and room function while efficient options reduce energy costs.

Additional Electrical Services
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Your electrical panel controls every circuit in your home.
Older panels can’t handle what modern homes and farms demand. Too many loads on limited circuits cause breaker trips, flickering lights, and fire hazards. Panels with outdated technology like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers create serious safety risks. GEM provides electrical panel upgrades in Tiverton that meet current code and handle today’s electrical demands. We also repair existing panels, replace faulty breakers, and add circuits when your property needs more capacity.
Smart Home Services
Control your home’s systems from your phone or with voice commands.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks. These technologies make life easier and can reduce energy costs. They need proper electrical infrastructure to work reliably. GEM installs and integrates smart home equipment, making sure devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them without headaches.
EV Chargers
Charge your electric vehicle overnight at your Tiverton home.
Public charging works occasionally, but daily drivers need reliable home charging. Level 2 chargers add 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, giving you a full charge overnight. GEM provides EV charger installation in Tiverton for all vehicle makes and models. We assess your panel capacity, install dedicated circuits, and mount chargers conveniently for your parking.
Heat Cabling Systems
Electric heat cables prevent ice dams and frozen pipes.
Rhode Island winters create ice dams on roofs that damage shingles and cause interior 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 during cold snaps. Proper installation means cables run only when needed, keeping energy costs reasonable.
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
These life-saving devices only work when properly installed and maintained.
Carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible. Smoke detectors give you critical escape time during fires. Dead batteries, expired sensors, and poor placement turn life-saving equipment into useless plastic. GEM installs hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup throughout Tiverton properties. We position detectors per code, interconnect them so all alarms sound together, and ensure your family gets the warning time they need.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Old wiring can’t handle how we use electricity today.
Original wiring in older Tiverton homes was designed for minimal electrical needs. Aluminum wiring from the 1970s creates fire risks at connections. Even 1990s homes may have undersized wiring for current electronics and appliances. GEM provides rewiring services in Tiverton safely with minimal disruption. Whether you need a single room updated or complete property rewiring, our electricians work carefully and bring your home up to current codes.
Outlets
Modern homes need more outlets in more places.
Two-prong outlets can’t accept grounded plugs. Kitchen and bathroom outlets need GFCI protection. Home offices need adequate outlets to avoid power strip chains. Outdoor outlets need weatherproof covers. GEM installs, replaces, and upgrades outlets throughout Tiverton properties. 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.
Surge Protector Services
Lightning strikes and power surges can destroy thousands in electronics.
Computers, TVs, appliances, HVAC controls. Millisecond surges damage everything. Power strips offer limited protection for individual devices, but surges enter through any wire in your home. GEM installs whole-home surge protectors in Tiverton at your electrical panel, stopping surges before they reach devices. We also add point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment needing extra defense.

Tiverton Electrical FAQs
What electrical requirements do Tiverton farms and agricultural properties have?
If you’re running a farm or agricultural operation in Tiverton, your electrical needs go beyond typical residential requirements. Barn wiring requires proper weatherproofing, GFCI protection, and adequate capacity for equipment and livestock systems. You’ll need dedicated circuits for irrigation pumps, grain handling equipment, and climate control systems. Many farm operations benefit from three-phase power for heavy machinery. Proper grounding becomes critical with metal buildings and outdoor equipment. We can handle farm electrical planning that ensures reliable power distribution across your operation while meeting agricultural codes and insurance requirements.
How does living near the Sakonnet River affect my electrical system?
If your Tiverton property is near the Sakonnet River or other waterfront areas, you’ll experience accelerated electrical system deterioration from moisture and salt exposure. Exterior components, panels, and outdoor wiring corrode faster near water. Ground-level electrical equipment faces flooding risks during storms and high tides. Underground wiring needs proper burial depth and conduit protection from water infiltration. We can assess water-related electrical vulnerabilities specific to your waterfront property and recommend appropriate protective measures including marine-grade components where needed.
What’s involved in adding electrical service to a barn or outbuilding in Tiverton?
Adding electrical service to barns or outbuildings on your Tiverton property requires determining appropriate circuit capacity based on how you’ll use the space, running underground conduit from your main panel or installing a subpanel, ensuring proper trenching depth meeting code requirements, adding GFCI protection for all receptacles, providing adequate lighting circuits, and obtaining necessary permits. Distance from your main panel affects wire gauge requirements. If you’re using the building for livestock, workshop equipment, or agricultural purposes, we’ll need to account for specific load requirements. We handle complete barn electrical installations ensuring safe, code-compliant operation.
Should my Tiverton well pump have dedicated electrical protection?
Your well pump absolutely should have dedicated electrical protection. Well pumps in Tiverton require their own circuit, typically 240 volts at 20-30 amp capacity depending on pump size and depth. Proper protection includes low-water cutoff switches preventing pump damage when wells run dry, pressure tank controls requiring correct wiring, and lightning/surge protection since wells often have exposed wiring vulnerable to strikes. Many homeowners install generators specifically to maintain water access during extended power failures since wells stop functioning without electricity. We can assess your well pump electrical setup ensuring it’s properly protected and reliable.
How do I plan electrical capacity for a Tiverton workshop or hobby space?
Planning workshop electrical requirements in your Tiverton property depends on what equipment you’ll run. Woodworking tools often need 240-volt dedicated circuits for table saws and larger equipment. You’ll want adequate 120-volt circuits for hand tools and lighting, typically 20-amp circuits every 4-6 feet of workbench. Dust collection systems need their own circuits. Proper task lighting makes work safer and easier. If you’re planning to add equipment later, building in extra capacity now saves money versus upgrading later. We can create an electrical plan that handles your current needs with room for future expansion, preventing overloaded circuits and ensuring safe operation.
