You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. Your electrical panel isn’t warm to the touch anymore.
That’s what proper electrical work looks like. No more wondering if your home can handle another appliance. No more resetting breakers in the middle of dinner.
Most homes in Mastic were built decades ago with electrical systems designed for half of what you’re running today. Your home office, central air, multiple TVs, kitchen appliances, and charging stations are all pulling power from a panel that was never meant to handle this load. When we upgrade your system properly, you get the capacity your home actually needs—150 to 200 amps that can handle modern life without the constant worry.

Panel upgrades are one of the most common jobs we handle in Mastic. Your 100-amp service might have been fine in 1985, but it’s not enough now. Upgrading to 200 amps gives you room for everything you’re running today plus what you’ll add tomorrow—EV chargers, more appliances, smart home systems.
Electrical troubleshooting finds the actual problem instead of guessing. Flickering lights could be a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a failing breaker. We trace the issue, explain what’s wrong, and fix it correctly.
Generator installations keep your power on when storms knock out the grid. Mastic sees its share of weather, and a standby generator means your refrigerator, sump pump, and heating system keep running. We handle the installation, permitting, and connection to your electrical panel.
EV charger installation is becoming standard. More drivers are switching to electric vehicles, and charging at home is faster and cheaper than public stations. We install Level 2 chargers that fully charge overnight and make sure your panel has the capacity to support it.
Electrical inspections for your home catch problems before they become expensive emergencies. Older homes in Suffolk County benefit from a professional inspection that identifies outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and safety hazards you can’t see behind the walls.
Your panel is warm when you touch it. Your breakers trip frequently, especially when you’re running normal appliances at the same time. Lights flicker or dim when the AC kicks on.
These are signs your electrical panel is working too hard. Most homes in Mastic built before 2000 have 100-amp panels. That was adequate when homes had fewer electronics and appliances. Now, with computers, multiple TVs, kitchen gadgets, EV chargers, and central air all running simultaneously, 100 amps isn’t enough.
A panel upgrade to 150 or 200 amps gives your home the capacity it needs. The upgrade also includes modern circuit breakers that are safer and more reliable than older models. If you’re adding any major appliances or planning to install an EV charger, upgrading your panel first is necessary.
A complete electrical inspection covers your main panel, all circuit breakers, visible wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding systems. We check for code violations, safety hazards, and components that are wearing out.
In Mastic and throughout Suffolk County, salt air accelerates corrosion on electrical connections. An inspection identifies corroded connections before they fail. We also check for outdated wiring types like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that can be fire hazards.
You’ll get a written report that explains what’s working properly, what needs attention soon, and what should be addressed immediately for safety. If you’re buying a home in Mastic, an electrical inspection before closing can save you from expensive surprises after you move in.
Electrical work pricing depends on what needs to be done. A simple outlet repair costs less than a full panel upgrade or whole-home rewiring. Licensed electricians typically charge between $50 and $100 per hour for standard work. Emergency calls during off-hours run $100 to $200 per hour.
At Marra Electric, you get upfront pricing before any work starts. We assess the job, tell you the total cost, and you decide whether to move forward. No hourly billing that keeps climbing. No surprise charges when the work is done.
A panel upgrade in Mastic generally runs between $1,500 and $3,000 depending on the amperage and complexity. Generator installation varies based on the size and type of generator. Smaller jobs like adding outlets or replacing switches cost significantly less. The investment in licensed, professional electrical work prevents the $450 to $800 emergency service calls that happen when electrical problems are ignored or handled incorrectly.
Technically, you could try. Realistically, you shouldn’t. EV charger installation requires working with 240-volt circuits, which is significantly more dangerous than standard 120-volt outlets. One mistake can cause electrical fires, damage your vehicle’s charging system, or injure you.
Most EV chargers also require a dedicated circuit and a panel with enough available capacity. If your panel is already near its limit, adding an EV charger will overload the system. We evaluate your current electrical setup, determine if your panel can handle the additional load, and either install the charger on a new dedicated circuit or upgrade your panel first.
There’s also the permit and inspection process. Electrical work in Mastic requires permits, and the installation must pass inspection to meet local codes. Professional installation ensures the charger works safely, your home’s electrical system can support it, and everything is up to code. Plus, improper installation can void your vehicle’s warranty.
Stop resetting it and call us. A breaker that trips once might just be an overloaded circuit—too many things plugged in at the same time. A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you there’s a problem that needs professional attention.
The issue could be a short circuit, a ground fault, or a failing breaker. It could also mean the circuit is overloaded regularly because your home’s electrical demands have outgrown the system. Homes in Suffolk County built in the 1970s and 1980s weren’t wired for the number of devices we use today.
Electrical troubleshooting identifies the actual cause. If it’s an overloaded circuit, we can add a new circuit to distribute the load properly. If it’s faulty wiring or a bad breaker, we replace the problem components. Ignoring a tripping breaker leads to bigger problems—damaged appliances, electrical fires, or complete system failure that requires emergency repairs costing significantly more than fixing it correctly now.
Most residential panel upgrades take four to eight hours, depending on the complexity of your current setup and the size of the new panel. The work includes shutting off power to your home, removing the old panel, installing the new panel, reconnecting all circuits, and testing everything to ensure it’s working safely.
You’ll be without power during the installation, so plan accordingly. We schedule the work at a time that minimizes disruption to your household. If your upgrade requires coordination with the utility company to upgrade the service line coming into your home, that adds time and requires a separate appointment with the utility.
After installation, the work must be inspected and approved by the local building department. We handle the permit process and schedule the inspection. Once everything passes, you have a modern electrical panel with the capacity to handle your home’s current and future electrical needs. The upgrade typically includes a warranty on both the equipment and the installation work.
