Some electrical problems announce themselves loudly. A breaker that trips every time the microwave runs, an outlet that sparks when you plug something in, a panel that buzzes when the house is quiet. Others are quieter. A ground wire that was never connected. A circuit that has been carrying more than it was rated for since the last renovation. Wiring that was fine when it was installed but has aged past the point where it handles the load safely. Those are the ones worth having looked at before they become the louder kind. We handle both, for homeowners, landlords, and commercial properties throughout Kenosha.
We cover the full range of electrical repair and installation work: troubleshooting, panel upgrades, circuit installation, lighting, ceiling fans, dedicated circuits, EV chargers, backup generator hookups, and electrical safety inspections.

The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the scope is explained before the work starts.
Apartment and condo electrical work runs into a boundary that single-family homes do not have. The panel for your unit may be inside your front door, in a hallway closet, or in a utility room shared with other units. In older multi-unit buildings, it is sometimes in a basement mechanical room with a row of panels for every unit in the building.
What is inside your unit is yours to repair and upgrade. Outlets, switches, lighting, GFCI protection, ceiling fans, and the circuits feeding your appliances are all work we can scope and complete on a service call. What sits upstream of your panel, including the service entrance and any shared feeder, is typically the building's responsibility. If you are not sure where that line falls, call and we will talk through what the visit can cover and what to ask your building manager about the rest.
Some buildings have rules about electrical work that go beyond the electrical code. Others require notice before work begins. We cannot tell you what your association requires, but we can tell you what the job involves and what documentation typically comes with it. If a permit is needed for the work, that is part of the conversation on the call.
Electrical pricing moves with what the job actually involves, and the honest answer is that the full picture is not always visible until the work is underway. The rate for a straightforward outlet replacement is different from the rate for an outlet replacement that turns up a wiring fault behind the wall, which is different again from one that reveals a circuit running at capacity with no room to add load.
Three things move a quote more than anything else. The first is what the fault turns out to be. A flickering light could be a loose wire at the fixture or a failing connection back at the panel, and the repair for each is not the same job. The second is what has to be opened up to reach it. A circuit run in an unfinished basement is a different scope from the same run through finished walls. The third is whether the existing panel can carry the change. Adding a circuit to a panel that is already near capacity sometimes means a panel upgrade is part of the answer.
When you call, we ask about the symptom and the property, and we give you a rate based on what we know. If the visit turns up something that changes the scope, we explain it before any additional work is discussed. Call us and we'll walk you through the fix.
Scheduling a service call is simple. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and that includes weekends.
Call (262) 955-2659, describe what you are seeing, and we will work through the scope on the phone and confirm the rate before anything is booked.
Some problems are not the kind that wait for a convenient day. A panel that is buzzing and warm, a burning smell near an outlet, or a circuit that has stopped working entirely are all situations worth calling about right away. We take short-notice work when the schedule allows, and the call is the right place to ask what is available.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around what the property requires. That means being clear about which circuits will be off during the visit, how long the work is expected to take, and what access is needed. A business that cannot lose power to a whole floor for an afternoon needs to know that before the visit, not during it. We confirm all of that on the scheduling call. The range of work covered is explained on our electrical services page.
A smart switch or dimmer is a straightforward swap until the wiring behind the old switch does not match what the new one needs. Older wiring sometimes lacks a neutral wire at the switch box, which some smart switches require. We check what is there before the job starts and either confirm the swap is direct or explain what the wiring needs to support it.
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and the panel has to have the capacity to support the breaker it needs. We assess the panel on the call and during the visit to determine whether a straight circuit run is all that is needed or whether the panel needs attention first. Load calculations are part of how we size the work. We run the circuit, install the outlet or hardwire the connection, and confirm the load before we leave.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring was used in a significant number of homes built during a period when copper prices spiked. It is still in many properties in this area. Aluminum wiring is not automatically dangerous, but it behaves differently from copper at connections, and connections that were not made for it are where problems develop over time. Remediation involves inspecting the connections throughout the home, replacing devices with ones rated for aluminum, and correcting any points where the wiring has been joined to copper without the right materials. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are often part of the answer at the panel. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, and aluminum remediation is one of those jobs where cutting corners shows up later.
A detached garage or shed that needs power requires a circuit run from the main panel, which usually means a subpanel at the outbuilding and a feeder from the house. The right size depends on what the space will be used for. A workshop with a table saw and a compressor needs a different circuit than a shed with a single light and an outlet. Electric gate operators need a dedicated circuit at the gate location and sometimes a new run from the panel depending on how far the gate is from the house. We scope all of it on the call so the visit covers what the job actually requires.
In a city with a housing stock that includes a mix of older homes and newer construction, panels turn up in a range of locations. Older homes often have the panel in a basement or a utility room off the kitchen. Newer construction tends to put it in the garage. Multi-unit buildings may have panels in a shared hallway or a mechanical room. Knowing where yours is before we arrive means the visit starts with the work, not a search.
The single thing that slows a panel visit down most consistently is access. A panel behind stored boxes, a garage full of equipment, or a basement utility room used for storage adds time before the work begins. If the job involves running a circuit through a finished wall, knowing in advance which walls are involved and whether there is attic or basement access below or above them helps us come prepared. We confirm access requirements on the scheduling call so nothing is a surprise on either side.

No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring for properties across the area. We keep your home powered and safe.
Responsibility for the damage is a matter between the property owner and the other contractor, but we can assess and repair the wiring regardless of how it was damaged. We document what we find and what the repair involves so you have a clear record if you need it for a dispute or an insurance claim.
Yes, and it is worth doing before the appliance arrives rather than after. We assess the circuit, the outlet type, and the panel capacity against the load the new appliance will draw. If a dedicated circuit or panel work is needed, scheduling it ahead of delivery avoids the situation where the appliance is sitting in the house waiting for the wiring to catch up.
Yes. We work in offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings throughout Kenosha and Kenosha County. Panel upgrades, circuit additions, outlet installation, and code-correction work are all part of what we do for commercial clients. The process is the same as a residential call: scope confirmed on the phone, rate agreed before anything is scheduled, and the work explained before it starts.
Call (262) 955-2659 and describe the property and the issue, and we will tell you what the visit covers.
A single dead outlet in a room is often caused by a tripped GFCI elsewhere on the circuit, since GFCI outlets protect downstream receptacles and a trip at the source cuts power to everything connected after it. Check the GFCI outlets in the bathroom or kitchen that share the circuit and press the reset button. If that does not restore power, call us and we will trace the circuit.
Work that involves open trenching, exposed conduit runs, or connections at an outdoor panel may be rescheduled if conditions make it unsafe to complete correctly. We confirm the plan on the call and let you know what weather-related factors apply to your specific job.
Yes, a buyer, an agent, or a representative can schedule an electrical inspection before the sale closes. We scope the inspection on the call and explain what the visit covers. The findings are explained in plain terms so the person scheduling understands what they are working with.
The answer depends on where the fault is. Wiring and devices inside your unit are typically the landlord's responsibility to repair, though the specifics depend on your lease and local housing requirements. What we can tell you is what the job involves and what it would take to fix it. If you are a tenant calling about an electrical problem, we will scope the work on the call and let you take that information to whoever handles maintenance for the building.
Full replacement is not always the answer. The more common approach is remediation: inspecting every connection point throughout the home, replacing outlets and switches with devices rated for aluminum, and correcting any points where aluminum has been joined to copper without the right materials. Whether remediation is sufficient or whether a partial or full rewire makes more sense depends on the condition of the wiring and how the connections have held up, and that assessment happens during the visit.

Electrical work covers a wide range of jobs, and knowing what each one involves helps you call with the right question. The table below breaks down the services we handle most often in Kenosha and the surrounding county, what each one covers, and what is worth knowing before you schedule. Call for a quote and we will scope the job on the phone before anything is booked.
| Service Type | What It Covers | Ideal For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades | 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, Fuse box conversions, Subpanel installation, Service entrance upgrades | Older homes adding appliances, EV chargers, or additional circuits that exceed current panel capacity | Panel upgrades often require a permit and inspection. We handle the scope and load calculations on the call so you know what the job involves before anything is scheduled. |
| Heat Tape Installation | Dedicated circuit for resistance cable, Weatherproof outlet or direct hardwired connection, GFCI breaker protection | Homes with vulnerable pipe runs or roof edges where Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams or frozen pipes | The wiring behind heat tape has to be sized and protected correctly. A circuit that fails during the first hard freeze defeats the purpose of the installation. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | Dead outlets and dead circuits, Flickering or dimming lights, Fault tracing before any part is replaced | Any home or property with a wiring symptom that needs a diagnosis first | The diagnostic step determines the repair. We trace the fault through the circuit before recommending anything, so the fix addresses the actual cause. |
