Electrical Upgrades for Modern Living

Wiring Upgrades
Replace outdated or aluminum wiring with modern, safe copper wiring that meets current code requirements. This is especially important for remodel and addition projects.
Outlet & Switch Replacement
Upgrade old two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong outlets, install GFCI and AFCI protection where required.
Dedicated Circuits
Add dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances like HVAC systems, hot tubs, EV chargers, and home offices.
Lighting Upgrades
Modernize your lighting with LED fixtures, dimmer switches, and smart lighting controls for energy savings. We also handle bathroom fan installations during lighting upgrades.
Code Compliance Updates
