Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacements
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. Older homes with outdated 60-amp or 100-amp panels often can't handle modern electrical demands. If you're experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, or planning to add an electric vehicle charger or major appliances, a panel upgrade may be necessary. We perform professional electrical panel upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service, ensuring your home has the capacity to safely power all your electrical needs. All panel upgrades include proper grounding, surge protection, and full code compliance.
Complete Home Rewiring Services
Outdated electrical wiring poses serious fire risks and electrical hazards. Homes with aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or wiring over 40 years old should be evaluated for rewiring. We provide complete home rewiring services, replacing old wiring with modern copper wiring that meets current electrical codes. Our rewiring services include upgrading outlets to GFCI and AFCI protection where required, adding circuits for modern electrical loads, and ensuring proper grounding throughout your home.

Quality lighting enhances your home's functionality, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. We install all types of lighting including recessed lighting, chandeliers, pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, outdoor landscape lighting, and security lighting. Our LED lighting upgrades can significantly reduce your energy costs while providing superior illumination. We also install smart lighting systems that integrate with home automation for convenient control and energy savings.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installation
With the growing popularity of electric vehicles, having a home charging station is essential for EV owners. We specialize in residential and commercial EV charger installation for all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and Grizzl-E. We assess your electrical system, upgrade your panel if needed, install the appropriate 240V circuit, and mount your charging station according to manufacturer specifications and electrical codes. Level 2 home chargers can fully charge most EVs in 4-8 hours, making overnight home charging convenient and cost-effective.
Outlet & Switch Services
Outlets and switches are used daily and can wear out over time. Loose outlets, outlets that don't hold plugs securely, warm outlets, or non-functioning switches should be addressed promptly. We install and repair all types of outlets and switches including standard outlets, GFCI outlets for wet locations, AFCI outlets for bedroom circuits, USB outlets for convenient device charging, dimmer switches, three-way switches, and smart switches.
