Know your Baltimore house
Roland Park, laid out in the 1890s, is one of the earliest planned suburbs in the country. Summers are hot and humid, and heavy storms can bring flash flooding along the Jones Falls.
Baltimore has thousands of vacant row houses, and a problem in an empty home next door can spread to the one you live in. Buildings from the early 1900s may still hide knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded outlets and old fuse panels, none of it designed for modern kitchens and window AC units.
Thunderstorms roll through regularly in summer. Whole-house surge protection at the panel is a common add-on people ask about after a close strike. Many older row houses have flat or low-slope roofs with tar or rubber membranes.
Rules and utilities worth knowing
Before anyone opens a panel, ask for the electrician's license details and check them yourself. Maryland licenses master electricians through the State Board of Master Electricians. New service or meter work in Baltimore involves BGE as well as the Department of Housing and Community Development.

Questions from Baltimore residents
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually an overloaded circuit, a short or a ground fault. Unplug things and reset once. If it trips again with nothing plugged in, stop resetting it and call an electrician.
Is my neighborhood in Baltimore covered?
We look for independent pros across Baltimore, including Hampden, Federal Hill, Roland Park and Charles Village, and ZIP codes 21201, 21202, 21205, 21206, 21207 and others. Coverage depends on which pros are available that day, so we will tell you right away if we cannot find someone.
Should I get a whole-house surge protector?
It is a reasonable add-on if storms or utility surges are common where you live. It works best alongside plug-in protectors for sensitive electronics.
Can I replace an old fuse box?
Yes. Swapping a fuse panel for a breaker panel is common, sometimes with a service upgrade at the same time. Meter work gets coordinated with the utility.
If you are not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We will tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.
