What does a licensed electrician do?
A licensed electrician installs, maintains, and repairs electrical wiring, outlets, lighting, panels, and safety systems. They ensure all work meets current electrical codes and safety standards.
Why should I hire a licensed electrician instead of doing it myself?
Electrical work is dangerous and can cause fires or injuries when done incorrectly. A licensed electrician ensures the job is safe, code-compliant, and professionally completed.
Why do my lights keep flickering?
Common causes include loose bulbs, failing switches, overloaded circuits, or damaged wiring. Persistent flickering should be inspected by a professional.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
This usually happens when a circuit is overloaded, shorted, or has a ground fault. An electrician can identify the source and safely correct the issue.
What is a GFCI outlet and where is it required?
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet shuts off power instantly if it detects a shock risk. These are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoor areas.
How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
Most homes should be inspected every 3–5 years, or sooner if the home is older, experiencing electrical issues, or has recently added major appliances.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations, run dedicated circuits, and ensure your panel can handle the added load.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
You may need a panel upgrade if you have an older 60–100 amp panel, are adding heavy appliances, experience frequent breaker trips, or notice dimming lights.
What are signs of dangerous or faulty wiring?
Warning signs include burning odors, warm or discolored outlets, buzzing sounds, frequently tripped breakers, and rodent damage. These should be checked immediately.
How long does electrical work typically take?
Small jobs usually take 30 minutes to 2 hours. Panel upgrades or rewiring projects can take several hours to multiple days depending on complexity.
Do you offer emergency electrical services?
Yes. Emergency calls cover burning smells, sparking outlets, power loss, exposed wiring, and any situation posing an immediate safety risk.

Can you help make my home more energy-efficient?
Absolutely. We install LED lighting, smart switches, energy-efficient systems, and upgraded wiring that improves performance and reduces energy loss.
What should I check during a power outage?
First check your main breaker, then see if neighbors have power. If the outage is limited to your home, an electrician may need to inspect your panel or service connection.
