Salem systems & permits
Many homes in the McIntire Historic District, along Chestnut Street and around Salem Common still have original knob-and-tube wiring or outdated 60-amp panels that cannot safely support modern appliances, HVAC systems and EV chargers.
Breakers that trip repeatedly and lights that flicker when appliances start are common in Salem homes on 60-amp or 100-amp service that are trying to power modern equipment.
Panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, generator installation and EV charger circuits in Salem are completed to code, and Spencer pulls the necessary city permits.
Knob-and-tube wiring lacks a ground wire and deteriorates with age; in pre-war Salem homes it is replaced carefully within the existing walls to limit disruption to plaster and original trim.
