A fairly difficult challenge and dealing with an old house and wiring - and the results were outstanding. Special tip-o'-the-hat to the soldiers in the trenches (Dave the mechanic, with his assistant - Paul): as I told you guys: I actually learned a few new things about electricity. Thanks!read less

He was very professional on the phone and their was no charge for the help ! I had used Fielack a couple of times before and was very satisfied with their promptness, knowledge and the quality of their work. This experience has just reaffirmed that I have found the right company for my electrical needs around my house. Thanks again Lou.read less

I spoke to a gentleman at Fielack (I believe his name is Jim) who told me to check with PSEG and with the tenants neighbors as it may have been an external issue. It turns out that it was. The lights came back on a few hours later. I appreciated his honesty rather than having to spend $$$$ on a repair that didn't need to be done. I recommend Fielack Electric for electrical repairs and will use them in the future!!!read less

It is always difficult to find good companies that you can trust, but not in the case of Fielack. Their workers are respectful, trustworthy and a pleasure to have in my home. A special shout out to Adam Hausner who in my opinion is the heart of Fielack. I would recommend Fielack to friends/family/co-workersread less

They explained all the issues to us in a very clear and understandable way, and gave us a good understanding of which issues needed to be fixed immediately (because they were potential fire hazards), and which could wait a little longer, since our finances were kind of tight after buying the house. They were also very honest in explaining that even though some things could be done in a cheaper way, they would still be in violation of codes, and could still cause problems in the long run. Compared to the other electricians I had worked with in the past, I felt that even when Fielack wasn't the cheapest option (although more often than not, they were), they were the most detail-oriented, and the most invested in not just getting the job done, but getting it done in the best possible way. Over the following several months, David and the other electricians did all the rewiring that was necessary, and even though their new wiring went all over the house, they were able to route everything so invisibly, as to only need one small wall area in front of the bathroom where a square in the wall had to be cut out (and replaced). All other access points were done in places covered by cabinets, stove, etc. They worked efficiently, made sure that everything was cleaned up after the job was done, and even kept an eye on our two kittens, making sure to keep doors closed when needed to prevent the kittens from sneaking into the house's crawlspaces and getting themselves into trouble. Today, David and Mike came by again to install an outlet under our kitchen sink. Very impressively, even though he hadn't been to our house in months now, David still remembered where all the access points were and even called ahead to let us know which areas of the kitchen and cabinets should be cleared off so that they could access them more efficiently. As they were working, even though the price had already been agreed upon, David realized that the job could be done more efficiently by using some of the existing unused wiring, and proposed to me that they can do that instead of their original plan, decreasing the final price that we had to pay. Overall, dealing with Fielack Electric, and particularly with David, Mike, and the rest of their team has been an excellent experience, and I'd definitely ask them to return for other electrical work I may need done in the future.read less

4 Times You Should Have an Electrical Inspection
For more than 20 years, Long Island homeowners have been relying on Fielack Electric for all of their electrical needs. From inspections to complete service upgrades, the licensed master electricians at Fielack Electric will ensure that the electricity in your home is installed properly and safely. Their proven track record of success is a huge testament to their outstanding service. For all of your electrical needs, look no further than Fielack Electric.
Homeowners rely on electricity for virtually every facet of their lives; they use it to wash their dishes, clean their clothes, cook their food, to provide entertainment, and to see when natural light is dim. Unfortunately, however, while most homeowners use their electrical system on a constant basis, they don’t give it the attention that it needs.
Faulty electrical wiring can lead to serious trouble, such as electrocutions and fire. In fact, every year, more than 50,000 electrical fires occur in the US. To ensure the safety of your home and your family, the importance of an electrical inspection cannot be stressed enough.
But when should you have your electrical system inspected? Here’s a look at four times an inspection from a licensed electrician is an absolute must.
When You’re Buying a New Home
Don’t even think about buying your dream home until you have the electrical system inspected. Sure, the lights may work and the appliances may run, but that doesn’t mean the wiring is safe.
A lot of dirty little secrets can be hidden behind pretty walls and floors, especially shoddy electrical wiring. This is especially true in older homes. Many older homes aren’t outfitted with an electrical system that will meet the demands of modern electric use. Plus, the wires could be frayed or otherwise damaged. If that’s the case, you could end up overpowering the system or spark a fire before you even finish unpacking your boxes.
An inspection isn’t just for older homes; new houses can have poor wiring, too. For instance, if the previous homeowners were DIY enthusiasts and tried to do electrical work on their own, there’s a good chance that they made some mistakes along the way. Furthermore, the work they did may not be up to code.
To ensure your dream home doesn’t turn into a nightmare, make sure you have the wiring inspected by a certified electrician.
When You Are Shopping for Insurance
If you are thinking about switching your homeowner’s insurance policy to a new provider, make sure you schedule an electrical inspection before you start shopping around. Many insurers require inspections before they’ll even consider writing a policy. Even if you are planning on renewing your policy with the same insurer, you should consider having an inspection done. In fact, you may have to before your insurance company will approve your renewal.
An electrical inspection allows insurers to assess the risk of insuring your home. It also helps them determine the rates. By identifying any issues and having them addressed, you can increase your chances of getting a more affordable rate.
When You’re Going to Renovate
If you are planning on doing a major renovation to your home, having the electrical system inspected is a wise idea. It will ensure that your current wiring will be able to support the renovation. Furthermore, the best time to have any necessary upgrades completed is when the walls, floors, and/or ceilings are opened. And, if you plan on having any new outlets or light switches installed, a licensed electrician will be able to complete the additions after inspecting your system.
There’s no denying that electricity makes life a lot more convenient. By having your electrical system inspected, you can ensure that you will be able to enjoy that convenience without having to worry about the risks that are associated with outdated, failing, or poorly installed wiring.
When there are Signs of Trouble
If you notice any signs that indicate something is wrong with your wiring, you should schedule an inspection with a licensed electrician as soon as possible.
Signs that indicate something is awry include:
Dimming or flickering lights
Switch plates or electrical outlets that are hot to the touch
A circuit breaker that’s constantly tripping
Buzzing or whirring sounds coming from outlets, switches, or appliances
The scent of burning plastic
If you ignore the signs of trouble, you could end up putting your family in serious danger. Have your system inspected as soon as you notice that something seems amiss.
If you need to have an electrical system inspection, contact the experts at Fielack Electric. Their licensed master electricians will thoroughly assess your wiring and make any necessary changes to ensure the safety of your home and your family.
