Emergency Services
Do you offer emergency electrical services?

How fast can you respond to an emergency call?
Response times vary depending on location and current workload, but we strive to reach emergency sites as quickly as possible. For clients with ongoing contracts or facilities with critical systems, we provide priority scheduling and direct dispatch.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Examples include power loss, burning smells near panels, sparking or arcing wires, equipment failure, and exposed or damaged wiring. If it poses a safety risk or disrupts essential operations, call us immediately.
Panel & Generator Services
How do I know if my building needs a panel upgrade?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or buzzing breaker panels, and limited capacity for new equipment. If your panel is more than 20 years old or doesn’t meet current demand, an upgrade is likely needed.
What types of generators do you install?
We install standby generators for residential, commercial, and government use, including diesel, natural gas, and propane units. We also install automatic transfer switches (ATS) and configure systems for high-capacity loads to ensure reliable, uninterrupted power for homes, businesses, and public facilities.
Do you provide maintenance for generators?
Examples include power loss, burning smells near panels, sparking or arcing wires, equipment failure, and exposed or damaged wiring. If it poses a safety risk or disrupts essential operations, call us immediately.
Project Timelines, Pricing & Scheduling
How quickly can you start a project?
Scheduling depends on the project size and urgency. For most standard jobs, we can begin within a few days to a week. For emergency repairs or service calls, same-day response may be available.
Can you work after hours or weekends?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling and can perform work outside of regular hours for commercial and government clients that require minimal disruption to daily operations.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. We provide upfront, written estimates after assessing the scope of your project. Our estimates are transparent, competitive, and customized to your needs.
Are your prices flat rate or hourly?
Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

Is your work inspected or permitted?
Yes. All work that requires permitting is submitted to local authorities, and we coordinate with inspectors to ensure the project passes final inspection. Safety and compliance are built into every job we do.
Do you follow NEC codes and local ordinances?
Always. We follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building codes to ensure safety, compliance, and longevity in every installation or repair.
Can you help my building pass an electrical inspection?
