Smithtown FAQ
Questions Smithtown homeowners ask.
Who handles electrical permits in Smithtown?
The Town of Smithtown Building Department issues electrical permits, with inspections performed by approved third-party electrical inspection agencies (like Atlantic-Inland or NEIB). We pull and coordinate everything end-to-end.
Are old Federal Pacific panels really a problem?
Yes. FPE Stab-Lok panels have a documented failure-to-trip issue and are common in 1960s–70s Smithtown homes. If you have one, we strongly recommend a 200A upgrade — most insurers also flag them.
Can you install a EV charger if my panel is full?
Usually. We can often add a sub-panel or do a load-managed install. If a full 200A upgrade is the cleaner answer, we'll lay out both options with fixed pricing.
