# Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about our electrical work, estimates and service area.

## Services

Do you handle both repairs and new installs?

Yes. We troubleshoot and repair existing electrical problems, and we install new circuits, plugs, switches, light fixtures and ceiling fans. We also do new wiring for homes, additions and outbuildings, and we can design and install the electrical system for a larger project.

When should a panel be upgraded?

Common signs include breakers that trip repeatedly, an old fuse box, a panel with no room for new circuits, or a large addition or remodel that adds load. We handle service changes, sub panels and main service replacement or new installs. We can look at your panel and tell you what it needs.

Can you add EV charger or outdoor lighting circuits?

Adding new circuits is a regular part of our work, and we can design and install the electrical system for your project. EV chargers and outdoor lighting are not on our posted service list, so call us with the details and we will tell you whether it is something we take on.

Can you wire a shed, barn or other outbuilding?

Yes. We do new wiring for outbuildings, including sheds and barns, as well as home additions, new homes and remodels. Call us with the size of the building and what you plan to run in it.

What is GFCI protection and do I need it?

A GFCI outlet cuts power quickly when it detects a ground fault, and it is commonly required near water, such as in kitchens, bathrooms, garages and outdoors. We replace GFCI outlets and upgrade existing outlets to GFCI protection to meet code.

## Company

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Do you offer discounts?
