How We Work
We follow a structured approach to find and fix electrical problems efficiently — minimizing disruption while prioritizing your safety.
We start with a detailed conversation about what you're experiencing, then conduct a thorough visual and functional inspection of the affected areas to gather as much information as possible.
Using professional-grade tools and testing methods, we trace the issue through your electrical system — checking wiring, connections, panels, and devices to pinpoint the exact cause.
Before any repair begins, we walk you through exactly what we found, what caused it, and what needs to be done — so you're fully informed and comfortable moving forward.
Once approved, we complete the repair properly and test the system to confirm the issue is fully resolved and everything is functioning safely and correctly.
Frequently asked
Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.
Q1
Common signs include breakers that trip repeatedly, outlets or switches that stop working, flickering lights, burning smells near outlets or your panel, or any unusual buzzing sounds from your electrical system. If something seems off, it's worth having it checked.
Q2
Not always, but it's a symptom that shouldn't be ignored. A breaker trips to protect your home from an overload or fault. Repeated tripping usually means there's an underlying issue — such as a wiring fault, overloaded circuit, or a failing breaker — that needs professional attention.
Q3
Yes. Older homes in the North Smithfield area often have wiring and panels that require careful diagnosis. We have experience working with aging electrical systems and can identify issues common to older installations, including outdated wiring or undersized panels.
Q4
Yes. Plante Electric serves Northern Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. If you're unsure whether your location is covered, give us a call and we'll be happy to confirm.
Q5
It depends on the complexity of the issue. Simple problems like a tripped breaker or faulty outlet can often be resolved in under an hour. More involved faults — such as intermittent wiring issues — may take longer to trace and repair properly.
Q6
Yes. Plante Electric holds active electrician licenses in both Rhode Island (Lic#016519) and Massachusetts (Lic#61317) and is fully insured, giving you confidence that all troubleshooting and repair work meets code requirements.
Q7
We'll explain exactly what we found and outline your options clearly. As a full-service electrical company, we can also handle repairs, panel upgrades, rewiring, and more — so you won't need to bring in a separate contractor.
Q8
You can reach us by phone at +1 401-465-1958 or by email at planteelectrical@gmail.com. We'll gather some basic details about your issue and get you scheduled at a time that works for you.
