Johnston City's trusted source for licensed electrical services — from outlet repairs to full panel upgrades, done right the first time.
From panel upgrades to EV charger installation, our licensed electricians handle every residential and commercial electrical need.
Add outlets exactly where you need them and eliminate extension cord clutter. New outlets improve convenience, reduce fire hazards, and increase your home value.
From flickering lights and dead outlets to tripping breakers and buzzing switches, fast electrical repairs restore your home to safe, reliable operation and give you peace of mind.
We plan the new circuit layout, pull permits, run code-compliant copper wiring through your walls and attic, install a new panel if needed, and restore your walls with minimal disruption.
We run Cat6 or coax cable from each camera location to your DVR or NVR, mount cameras at optimal angles, install weatherproof junction boxes, and power everything through a centralized system.
We handle the full installation process, from securing the fan-rated electrical box and running new wiring to balancing the blades and programming remote controls.
Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.
Breakers that trip repeatedly are warning you of a serious problem. Forcing them back on risks fire or electrocution. Our electricians safely diagnose whether the issue is the breaker, the wiring, or an overload.
Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.
We install a Type 2 surge protection device directly at your electrical panel, wire it to a dedicated double-pole breaker, and verify the grounding system that makes it effective.
We remove old fixtures, upgrade the electrical box if needed, connect and mount the new fixture securely, and test dimmer compatibility so your lights perform exactly as expected.
A properly installed standby generator protects your family, your food supply, and your medical equipment. We pull all permits and ensure code-compliant connections every time.
We assess your panel capacity, install a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charging unit in your garage or driveway, and handle all permits and inspections from start to finish.
Smart devices need proper wiring to function reliably. Many older homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes, causing flickering or device failure. Our electricians verify and upgrade wiring so your smart home works right.
We install hardwired smoke detectors in every required location, interconnect them so all units sound together, add battery backup, and test the full system before we leave.
Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, causing loose connections that overheat and arc. Insurance companies increasingly refuse to cover aluminum-wired homes. Our licensed electricians eliminate the risk permanently.
We map out fixture placement for optimal light coverage, cut precise ceiling openings, run new circuits as needed, and install IC-rated housings that are safe for insulated ceilings.
Improper doorbell wiring can damage your transformer or void your warranty. Our electricians verify voltage, test connections, and ensure your Ring operates safely and reliably.
An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.
We review your project requirements, pull necessary permits, install wiring and devices using commercial-grade materials, and schedule the final inspection to close out the permit properly.
Aging panels with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse-based systems are documented fire hazards. Our licensed electricians replace them with UL-listed equipment that meets current NEC safety standards.
Stop guessing why your power is acting up. Professional electrical troubleshooting pinpoints hidden problems fast, saving you time and preventing damage to your home and devices.
CO detector placement matters as much as having one. Installed too high, too low, or too far from sources, they may not alarm in time. Our electricians follow manufacturer and code guidelines precisely.
Water and electricity are a deadly combination. Pool and hot tub wiring requires GFCI protection, proper bonding of all metal surfaces, and specific clearance distances. Our electricians follow NEC Article 680 to the letter.
