Why "licensed" matters in Delaware

Delaware law requires anyone providing electrical services to hold a license from the Board of Electrical Examiners, which issues master, limited (residential), journeyperson, apprentice, and specialty licenses. You can look up any electrician's license on the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation website before hiring. Every electrician who takes jobs through Christina Electric Connect must hold an active Delaware license, and it's worth checking it yourself too.

Safety first: burning smells, scorched or warm outlets, buzzing panels, or breakers that trip repeatedly aren't "get quotes next week" problems. If it's safe, turn off the affected breaker and call a licensed electrician right away. If there's smoke or fire, call 911.

Older wiring in the Wilmington area

Older Wilmington-area homes can contain wiring and equipment that deserve a professional look: knob-and-tube wiring in pre-1940s houses, ungrounded two-prong circuits, 60- or 100-amp services, single-strand aluminum branch wiring (used in some homes built around 1965–1973), and some panel brands with known problem histories. None of these automatically means danger, but they're worth having evaluated, especially before adding big loads like an EV charger or heat pump.
