Recent Chelmsford Success Stories
Generator Installation After Ice Storm in North Chelmsford
A North Chelmsford family contacted us after a February ice storm left them without power for 22 hours. We installed a 20kW Generac standby generator with an automatic transfer switch within one week. When the next storm hit in March, their generator activated within 10 seconds, keeping their heating system and medical equipment running throughout the outage.
EV Charger Installation Near Drum Hill
A Westlands family needed dual EV charging capability for their two Tesla vehicles. Their existing 100-amp panel couldn’t safely support the load. We upgraded their service to 200 amps and installed two Tesla Wall Connectors with load management. The project was completed in one day, permits were approved within 48 hours, and they now charge both vehicles overnight during off-peak rates.
What are the most common electrical problems in Chelmsford homes?
Based on our 5+ years serving Chelmsford since 2019, these are the most frequent electrical issues we encounter and their typical solutions:
- Insufficient Electrical Capacity (affects 65% of homes built before 1985): Older 100-amp services can’t safely handle modern loads, such as heat pumps, EV chargers, and home offices.
- Federal Pacific Panels (installed in 25% of homes built in the 1970s-1980s in Chelmsford): These recalled panels have a 60% failure rate and are known to cause house fires.
- Knob-and-Tube Wiring (found in approximately 20% of pre-1950 Chelmsford homes): This outdated wiring system poses significant fire risks and often violates most insurance policies.
- Ungrounded Outlets (present in 55% of pre-1970 homes): Two-prong outlets lack safety grounding and can’t accommodate modern electronics safely.
- Storm Damage from Ice and Wind: Chelmsford’s mature tree canopy causes 2-3 significant power outages yearly during severe weather.
- Mill-Area Power Quality Issues: Homes near Chelmsford’s historic mill areas sometimes experience voltage fluctuations requiring surge protection.
