Yes — residential, commercial and industrial maintenance work.

Call us or use the estimate request form. Photos of the issue help us understand the scope.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Does every older home need a panel upgrade?

No. Many panels are adequate. An assessment of your equipment and planned loads determines whether an upgrade is worthwhile.

Will my power be off during the work?

Service is interrupted for part of the installation. We'll explain the expected window during scheduling.

EV Charger Installation

Can you install a charger I already bought?

Usually, yes. Share the model when you request an estimate so we can review its requirements.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Not always. A capacity review tells us whether your existing service can support it.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Is flickering always serious?

Not always, but it can indicate loose connections. It's worth having it checked.

Wiring & Rewiring

Do you rewire occupied homes?

Often, yes. We'll discuss phasing to limit disruption.

Outlets & Switches

Can you add an outlet where there isn't one?

In most cases, yes — we'll look at the nearest circuit and the best route.

Lighting Installation

Can I supply my own fixtures?

Yes. Share product details so we can confirm mounting and compatibility.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Can a fan go where a light is now?

Often, if a fan-rated box and support are installed.

Circuit Breaker Repair

Can I just replace the breaker myself?

Panel work carries real risk. We recommend having a qualified electrician diagnose it.

Electrical Inspections

How long does an inspection take?

It depends on property size and access. We'll estimate when you book.

Security System Installation
