Frequently Asked Questions
What types of electrical services do you handle?
We take care of everything from outlet installs and lighting upgrades to full electrical rewiring, panel replacements, EV charger installs, and emergency repairs. If it runs on power, we can probably fix, upgrade, or install it.
How do I know if I need an electrician or if it’s a simple fix?
If you’re dealing with anything more complicated than flipping a breaker or changing a bulb, it’s safer to bring in a licensed electrician. Flickering lights, warm outlets, repeated breaker trips, or burning smells should always be checked by a pro.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?
Yes. When something electrical goes sideways in the middle of the night, we can send an emergency electrician to troubleshoot the issue and keep your home or business safe.
What are the signs my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
Frequent breaker trips, buzzing sounds, dimming lights, scorch marks, or an older panel that hasn’t been touched in decades are all red flags. If you’re adding major appliances or EV chargers, upgrading is also smart.
Can you install a car charger for electric vehicles?
Absolutely. We handle Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger installations and make sure your panel has the capacity to support it safely.
How long does a typical electrical repair take?
Simple fixes may take under an hour, while complex issues like rewiring or panel work can take several hours or a full day. After an inspection, we give clear timelines so you know exactly what to expect.
Is it safe to reset a tripped breaker?
Yes—resetting a breaker is fine. But if it keeps tripping, that’s a symptom of a deeper issue like an overloaded circuit, faulty wiring, or a failing breaker.
What causes circuits to overload?
Too many devices on one circuit, outdated wiring, damaged outlets, or high-demand appliances can all overload a system. An electrician can identify the true cause so you’re not guessing.
Can you replace damaged or outdated circuit breakers?
Yes. We replace faulty breakers, upgrade older panels, and make sure everything is properly matched to the electrical load in your home.
Do you offer home electrical inspections?
We do. Inspections are helpful before buying a house, after storm damage, or whenever you suspect outdated wiring may be an issue.
How often should a home’s electrical system be checked?
Most homes benefit from an inspection every 3–5 years. Older homes or houses with heavy power usage may need more frequent checkups.
What should I do if I smell something burning near an outlet or panel?
Turn off power to that area and call an emergency electrician immediately. Burning smells usually mean overheating, loose wiring, or failing components.
Can you help with whole-home electrical rewiring?
Yes. Whether your home still has outdated wiring or you’re renovating, we provide full and partial rewiring to bring everything up to modern safety standards.
Do you work with both residential and commercial electrical projects?
We service homes, offices, retail buildings, and industrial spaces. Each project is handled with the same level of precision and safety.
How do I know if my home’s wiring is outdated?
Homes older than 30–40 years often have wiring that wasn’t designed for modern electrical demand. Indicators include warm outlets, two-prong outlets, aluminum wiring, and frequent breaker issues.
Do you offer surge protection installation?
Yes. We offer whole-home surge protection to safeguard your appliances, electronics, and HVAC systems.
Can you add new outlets or lighting to my home?
Definitely. We install outlets, switches, LED lighting, recessed lighting, security lighting, and more.
What happens during an electrical panel upgrade?
We remove the old panel, install a new one with modern safety features, replace outdated breakers, and ensure the system is balanced and ready for your current and future electrical needs.
Do you offer upfront pricing?
Yes, we provide clear pricing before starting any work so there are no surprises—ever.
What should I do during an electrical emergency?
If it’s safe to do so, turn off the main breaker and contact us immediately. Avoid touching anything that looks damaged, wet, or sparking.
Do you offer warranties on your electrical work?
Yes. Our work comes with a workmanship guarantee, and many of the parts we use carry manufacturer warranties as well.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every electrician on our team is licensed, trained, and fully insured for your safety and peace of mind.
Can you help troubleshoot flickering lights?
Yes. Flickering can be caused by loose connections, failing fixtures, overloaded circuits, or issues with the utility company. We’ll get to the bottom of it.
How quickly can you respond to urgent electrical problems?
Emergency calls are prioritized, and in most cases we can dispatch a technician the same day or within hours depending on the situation.
