Services

Licensed electrical work for homes and businesses.

Every job on this page is priced before it starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Drawing of a service entrance: the service conductors entering the weatherhead, the meter socket, the open panel with its main and branch breakers, the grounding electrode conductor to the ground rod, and the branch circuit runs leaving the panel.

Residential

Houses and everything in them

Service work on homes across Marathon County. You get an arrival window, not a day.

Panel & service upgrades

Fuse boxes, undersized panels and panels that have run out of breaker space.

  • 100A and 200A service upgrades
  • Obsolete and recalled panel replacement
  • Surge protection installations

Troubleshooting & repair

A breaker that trips, an outlet that's dead, a switch that does nothing. We trace it back before we fix anything.

  • Combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
  • Replacing units past their ten-year date

Remodels & additions

Kitchens, basements and additions wired to print and to code.

On every job

What you get in writing

The paperwork is part of the job, not an afterthought. Every item below comes to you as a document, not as a promise.

  • A firm price before the first day
  • A clear scope: what's included and what isn't
  • A single point of contact for the job
  • Notes on what we changed and why
  • Anything we found that you ought to know about
  • Proof of insurance on request

Commercial

Shops, offices and build-outs

We take work as a sub to general contractors and direct from business owners. Evenings and weekends when the space has to stay open during the day.

Office & retail build-outs

Wiring a small commercial space from empty shell to finished room.

  • Branch circuits, outlets and switches to print
  • Lighting and emergency exit fixtures
  • Data and low-voltage rough-in
  • Scheduled around the general contractor's dates
  • Circuits labeled and a panel schedule left with you

Lighting & LED upgrades

Swapping out old fixtures for LED, inside and out, without shutting you down.

  • Office, shop and warehouse fixture replacement
  • Exterior, sign and parking lot lighting
  • Occupancy sensors and timers
  • Evening work so the business stays open

Panel & circuit work

More outlets, a dedicated circuit for new equipment, or a panel that has run out of room.

  • Added circuits for new equipment
  • Subpanels and panel replacements
  • Dedicated circuits for kitchen and shop gear
  • Load checked before we quote

Troubleshooting & repair

A breaker that keeps tripping, a dead outlet, a light that won't stay on. We trace it back before we fix anything.

  • Dead circuits and nuisance tripping
  • Failed connections and worn devices
  • Code corrections after an inspection

Remodels & tenant changes

Moving walls, adding a room, changing what a space is used for.

  • Rough-in and trim-out for the new layout
  • Circuits relocated or added
  • Coordination with your builder's schedule

Not sure whether a job is one we take? Call and describe it. If it isn't ours we'll say so and point you at someone who does it.

How a job runs

No surprises on the invoice.

Four steps, the same on a single outlet and on a whole build-out.

  1. 01

    You call or send the job

    We take the address, what's going on, and the date you're working to.

  2. 02

    We look at it and price it

    A licensed electrician looks at the actual conditions and writes a firm price. You get it before anything starts.

  3. 03

    We schedule it and do the work

    You know the price and the scope before anyone starts. If something on site changes that, you hear it from us before we act on it.

  4. 04

    We finish and hand it over

    You get notes on what we did and what we changed. Nothing gets left half-finished, and nothing gets left for you to chase.
