As homes and businesses adopt more technology and modern appliances, existing electrical panels can struggle to keep up with the increased demand. Foster Electric specializes in upgrading outdated panels to ensure your system delivers safe, consistent power. Whether you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips or planning a home renovation, our licensed electricians will assess your needs and install a new panel that supports current and future electrical loads. We also ensure your panel meets all local safety codes and is prepared for potential expansions like solar panels or EV chargers.

Lighting is more than just illumination—it’s about ambiance, functionality, and security. Foster Electric offers expert lighting installation services for both residential and commercial clients. Indoors, we handle everything from recessed lighting and LED retrofits to custom fixtures and dimmer switches. Outdoors, we enhance curb appeal and safety with motion sensor lighting, landscape lighting, and security lights. We work closely with homeowners, designers, and contractors to create energy-efficient lighting layouts that match your style and improve visibility.

Old or damaged wiring can pose serious fire hazards and lead to inconsistent power delivery. Whether you’re restoring a historic home, upgrading a mid-century property, or just dealing with failing wires, Foster Electric provides comprehensive whole-home rewiring services. We replace outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring with modern copper wiring that complies with today’s electrical codes. Our rewiring process ensures your outlets, switches, and fixtures are safe, grounded, and capable of supporting modern electronics and appliances.

Electric vehicles are becoming more common, and charging at home is one of the most convenient ways to keep your car powered. Foster Electric installs Level 2 EV chargers in garages, driveways, or designated parking spaces. Our electricians will evaluate your electrical system, upgrade circuits if necessary, and ensure your charger is installed with optimal safety and efficiency. We also guide you through options compatible with your specific EV model and help you take advantage of utility rebates or incentives when available.

If you’re dealing with unexplained power outages, flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or tripping breakers, it’s time to call the professionals. Foster Electric’s expert electricians are trained to diagnose and repair electrical problems quickly and accurately. We use the latest diagnostic tools to pinpoint the issue and provide long-term solutions—whether it’s faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or malfunctioning components. We also offer emergency repair services to keep your home or business safe and operational when you need it most.

Early warning saves lives. Foster Electric installs high-quality smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and local codes. We determine optimal placement throughout your home—especially near bedrooms and central living spaces—to ensure you’re alerted at the first sign of danger. We can also integrate your detectors into smart home systems for remote monitoring, or hardwire them into your electrical system with battery backups for continuous protection.

Electrical surges—caused by lightning strikes, power grid issues, or large appliance cycling—can damage sensitive electronics and major appliances. Foster Electric installs whole-home surge protectors directly into your electrical panel to defend your entire home from voltage spikes. Unlike power strip surge protectors, our system-level solution offers robust protection for everything from your computers and TVs to your HVAC and refrigerator. This service helps prevent costly replacements and extends the life of your electronics.

Older electrical panels often can’t keep up with the power needs of modern homes. Foster Electric replaces outdated or overloaded panels with new, high-capacity systems that improve safety and reliability. Whether you’re adding appliances, installing an EV charger, or upgrading your home, a panel upgrade ensures stable, code-compliant power throughout your property—now and into the future.
