In most cases, yes. Insurance companies often refuse to cover homes with active Knob & Tube wiring because it lacks a ground wire and can overheat in insulation. We specialize in removing this old wiring and fishing new, safe lines through your walls with minimal disruption to your home.

When only part of your home goes dark, it usually means something in your electrical panel has failed. We can track it down quickly and get your home powered up and comfortable again.

It could be something small, or it could be your home’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not right.” Either way, flickering lights should always be checked. We’ll take a look and make sure your home is safe and shining steady again.

Twenty years ago, most homes ran on oil heat and window-shaker AC units. Today’s electric heating, cooling, and modern appliances all draw more power than older panels were built for. So if your panel is original to your home, and you’re thinking of adding larger appliances, then yes, it’s time for an upgrade!

We do these every day and make the process smooth and simple.

Age isn't the only factor, but the brand matters. If you have a Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco panel, we recommend replacing it immediately. These brands have known design flaws where the breakers fail to trip during a surge, leading to fires.

• The Test: Go look at your panel. If you see the words "Stab-Lok" or orange/color-coded switches, call us for a safety check today.

In most states, a generator is a luxury. In Maine, it’s quickly becoming a necessity. Most heating and cooling systems rely on electricity, and when the power goes out, the cold moves in fast. Whether you choose a portable or an automatic generator, we’ll make sure it’s safely installed and ready to keep your home warm and worry-free.

Sometimes it’s something simple like a tripped breaker or a hidden GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) that’s popped, just like the one we once found hiding behind a customer’s stack of garage boxes. But something caused it to trip, and that’s the part that matters. Give us a call and we’ll track it down, fix it, and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a special safety outlet that shuts off power the moment it senses something unsafe, like moisture or a sudden surge. You’ll usually find them in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoors. They keep your family safe, and if one trips, we can reset it or find out why it happened.

Breakers are your home’s built-in safety guards. It's because something has gone wrong with your wiring. It could be an overloaded appliance, a loose connection, or wiring that needs attention. We can find the cause and get everything running safely again.

Yes! Since heat rises, ceiling fans can gently push warm air back down in winter and keep the air moving in summer. They help your home feel more comfortable without cranking the thermostat.

A buzzing switch almost always means there’s a loose connection. And loose connections can lead to overheating and fires. Give us a call and we’ll make it safe and quiet again.

A breaker should never spark. That’s your home’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not right! Call Miracle Electric, NOW.” Sparks can mean a loose connection or a failing breaker, so give us a call and we’ll make it safe again.

If your home still has two-prong outlets, the wiring is automatically considered unsafe by today’s standards. It’s a sign your home needs attention. We can check everything and guide you on the safest next steps.
