The Trusted Licensed Electrician for Coram Homes and Businesses
Coram is a steadily growing residential community with a mix of original 1970s and 1980s subdivisions, newer construction around the perimeter and long-tenured family households.
Contractor recommendations often travel between neighbours, and RJ & Son Electric is the Coram electrician those referrals frequently lead to.
Much of our Coram work involves electrical panel upgrades and EV charger installations as household electrical demand continues to increase.
Whether you have a flickering light, a warm electrical panel, an EV charger project or a renovation requiring contractor coordination, the right starting point is a direct phone call.
Speak Directly With a Licensed Electrician
Most Coram projects are scheduled within 48 hours, depending on availability and the type of electrical work required.
You receive a real conversation with a real electrician rather than a national call centre or third-party referral company.
Why Coram Homeowners Trust RJ & Son Electric
Most Coram homeowners have worked with more than one electrician over the years and understand the difference between a genuine licensed professional and someone who simply arrives with tools.
RJ & Son Electric has built its Suffolk County reputation through referrals, professional accountability, dependable workmanship and clear communication.
A Licensed Master Electrician on Every Call
Richard Gruttola is a Licensed Master Electrician and personally oversees RJ & Son Electric projects.
The person diagnosing your electrical system is also responsible for the work, applicable permit, inspection and final sign-off.
Family-Owned and Local
The “& Son” in the company name represents a genuine family business serving Suffolk County full-time.
Calls are not routed through a national call centre, and projects are not passed to unknown third-party crews.
Transparent, Up-Front Pricing
We diagnose the issue, explain the available options and provide a written estimate before work begins.
There are no surprise additions, unnecessary upgrades or high-pressure sales tactics.
Electrical Services We Provide in Coram
RJ & Son Electric provides full-service residential and light-commercial electrical work throughout Coram.
Whether you need one ceiling fan installed or a complete service upgrade with new feeders and a modern 200-amp panel, the same Licensed Master Electrician remains responsible for the project.
Every installation is planned according to the existing electrical system, expected load and applicable permitting and inspection requirements.
Panel Upgrades and Service Replacements
Homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Pushmatic or fuse panels should have the existing electrical equipment professionally evaluated.
RJ & Son Electric replaces obsolete equipment with modern 200-amp electrical panels from manufacturers such as Square D, Eaton and Siemens.
The meter pan, service entrance, grounding, bonding, service mast and weatherhead are also evaluated as part of the project.
Applicable permits, inspections and PSEG meter coordination are handled so the power interruption remains as short as practical.

EV Charger Installation
Most Coram EV owners install a Level 2 charger inside the garage or on an exterior wall near the driveway.
We confirm that the panel has sufficient capacity, size the dedicated 240-volt circuit and route the wiring or conduit cleanly.
Residential charging equipment commonly requires a dedicated 40-amp or 50-amp circuit, depending on the charger and permitted charging output.
When the existing panel is full or undersized, a subpanel, load-management solution or 200-amp service upgrade may be required first.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Flickering lights, repeated breaker trips, burning smells, buzzing outlets and partial power failures should not be ignored or repaired through guesswork.
Diagnostic testing may include thermal-camera inspection, voltage measurements, circuit tracing, clamp-meter testing, insulation testing and receptacle analysis.
Once the actual fault has been identified, the findings are explained in plain English and the repair is quoted before work begins.
Most diagnostic visits take less than approximately 90 minutes, although intermittent or complex faults may require additional testing.

Whole-House and Partial Rewiring
Older Coram homes may contain knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-insulated wiring, aluminium branch wiring, ungrounded circuits or modifications completed during earlier renovations.
Rewiring is available for individual rooms, circuits, kitchens, finished basements, additions and complete homes.
New wiring is fished through finished walls whenever practical to reduce unnecessary drywall damage.
Required permits and inspections are coordinated, and larger rewiring projects are completed according to a written timeline.

Lighting Installation
Recessed lighting, ceiling fans, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, landscape lighting, security floodlights, dimmers and smart switches.
We plan the layout, install new circuits where required and clean the work area before leaving.
Many standard Coram lighting projects can be completed in one day.

Generator Transfer Switches
We install manual transfer switches, automatic transfer switches and exterior generator inlet boxes for portable and standby generators.
Proper transfer equipment prevents dangerous back-feeding into the utility system.
The installation is coordinated with the electrical service and inspected where required.

Whole-Home Surge Protection
Type 2 panel-mounted surge protection helps protect televisions, appliances, HVAC control boards, refrigerator electronics and garage equipment.
The surge-protection device is selected according to the configuration and capacity of the electrical service.
Panel-level protection provides broader coverage than plug-in power strips alone.

Common Electrical Issues We See in Coram Homes
Every community has an electrical fingerprint based on when its homes were built, the wiring standards used at the time and how those properties have been modified over the years.
Ageing 100-Amp Services
Many Coram homes built during the 1970s and 1980s still have original 100-amp electrical services supporting modern appliances, HVAC equipment and renovated living spaces.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco Panels
Older Coram properties may still contain Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical equipment that should be professionally evaluated.
Garage and Shed Circuits
Original garage and shed circuits may be undersized for modern workshop tools, electric heating equipment or EV charging.
Inadequate Grounding
Some older homes still contain two-prong receptacles, ungrounded branch circuits or grounding systems that require correction.
Pool and Hot-Tub Wiring
Backyard pools and hot tubs require appropriate bonding, grounding, disconnects and GFCI protection.
EV Charger Capacity Problems
Homeowners frequently discover that an existing electrical panel is full or undersized when planning a Level 2 EV charger.
Concerned About an Electrical Issue?
A phone conversation can often help determine whether you are dealing with a quick repair, a planned upgrade or an electrical fault that requires immediate inspection.
Pool, Hot-Tub, Garage and Outdoor Electrical Work
Pools, hot tubs, detached garages, sheds and exterior receptacles require wiring methods and circuit protection designed for outdoor and potentially wet locations.
Older circuits may no longer be adequate for workshop tools, electric heaters, pool pumps, hot tubs or new EV charging equipment.
We evaluate the available circuit capacity, wiring condition, grounding, bonding, GFCI protection and disconnect requirements.
- Pool equipment circuits
- Hot-tub electrical connections
- Bonding and grounding corrections
- GFCI protection
- Garage receptacle and lighting circuits
- Detached shed electrical service
- Exterior weather-resistant receptacles
- Dedicated workshop circuits
Have the Installation Evaluated
A professional inspection can determine whether an outdoor, garage, pool or hot-tub installation has appropriate circuit protection, grounding and bonding.

Why a Licensed Master Electrician Matters in Coram
Panels installed without permits, undersized EV circuits, incorrectly sized conductors and incomplete grounding can create safety concerns and future inspection problems.
Electrical work requires a practical understanding of load calculations, service capacity, circuit sizing, grounding, bonding and applicable permitting requirements.
Permitted work creates a record of the project for future inspections, insurance questions and property transactions.
Richard Gruttola personally oversees RJ & Son Electric projects, including applicable permits, inspections and final sign-offs.
