Living Light Electric serves Kansas homeowners and businesses as well as Missouri. In Overland Park the work depends a lot on which end of town you are in.
North Overland Park
The northern part of the city filled in during the 1950s and 1960s with ranch homes on quiet streets. Many still run on an older panel and small service, with ungrounded outlets in the original rooms and wiring that has been extended for every update since.
Panel upgrades, grounded circuits, and new kitchen and bath circuits are the core of the work here.
South Overland Park
South of I-435 the homes are mostly newer, built from the 1980s onward, and the requests are about more: finished lower levels, outdoor lighting, EV chargers, and generator hookups for storm season.
Kansas does not license electricians statewide; licensing and permits are handled locally. In Overland Park, the city issues electrical permits. Most of Johnson County is served by Evergy.
Overland Park questions
Asked in Overland Park.
Short answers to the questions we hear from Overland Park homeowners and businesses. More in the full Q&A.
Does Kansas have a state electrician license?
No. Kansas does not issue a statewide electrical license; licensing is handled by cities and counties. Ask any electrician which local license covers work in your city, and make sure permitted work gets a permit.
Do you work on the Kansas side?
Yes. Living Light Electric describes its service area as Kansas and Missouri homeowners and businesses. Call with your address and we will confirm.
Is a generator interlock legal?
A listed interlock kit installed on a compatible panel, with a properly rated inlet and a permit where required, is an accepted way to connect a portable generator. Plugging a generator into an outlet with a double-ended cord is never safe.
