Electrical services in Kansas City, MO & KS

Find it and fix it, upgrade the system, build and remodel.

01

Find it & fix it

When something is wrong, the first job is finding out why.

Troubleshooting & electrical repair

A breaker that keeps tripping or a room that went dark is a symptom. We test the circuit, find the loose connection, failed device, overload or fault behind it, and fix that, so the problem stays fixed instead of coming back next month.

  • Tripping breakers and dead circuits
  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Warm outlets, switches or cover plates
  • Partial power loss
Ask about troubleshooting & electrical repair

Switches & outlets

Adding outlets to a room that never had enough, replacing worn or scorched devices, putting GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors, and swapping in dimmers, USB outlets or smart switches.

  • Outlet and switch installation
  • Outlet and switch repair
  • GFCI and AFCI protection
  • Dimmers and smart switches
Ask about switches & outlets
02

Upgrade the system

Panels and service sized for how a building is used now, not how it was used when it was built.

Panel upgrades & breaker panels

If your panel is full, still on fuses, warm to the touch, or one of the brands with a poor track record, a panel upgrade is usually the fix. We replace the panel, add capacity for new loads, and leave every breaker labeled.

  • Breaker panel installation
  • Panel and fuse box repair
  • Service capacity upgrades
  • Subpanels for garages, shops and additions

Generator installation

Kansas City gets ice storms in winter and violent thunderstorms in spring. A generator that is wired in correctly keeps the furnace, sump pump and refrigerator running, and keeps utility crews safe from back-feed.

  • Standby and portable generator hookups
  • Transfer switches and interlocks
  • Choosing which circuits stay on
Ask about generator installation

Whole-home surge protection

Plug-in strips protect one outlet. A panel-mounted surge protective device guards the whole house, including the furnace board, the range and the washer that no power strip ever reaches.

  • Panel-mounted surge protective devices
  • Pairs with point-of-use strips
Ask about whole-home surge protection

EV charger circuits

Before a charger goes in, we look at what your panel and service can actually carry. Then we run a dedicated circuit to the garage or driveway and mount or connect the charger.

  • Load calculation
  • Dedicated 240-volt circuits
  • Garage and outdoor installs

03

Build & remodel

From new construction to remodeling, in their words.

New construction wiring

On new construction we work from the plans and the builder's schedule: service and panel, rough-in before the walls close, then devices, fixtures and the final inspection.

  • Service and panel
  • Rough-in and trim-out
  • Inspection-ready work
Ask about new construction wiring

Remodels, additions & basements

A remodel is the best time to fix what is behind the walls. We add the circuits a new kitchen needs, wire finished basements and additions, and deal honestly with any old wiring we find along the way.

  • Kitchen and bath circuits
  • Basement finishes
  • Additions
  • Wiring installation
Ask about remodels, additions & basements

Lighting installation

Good light changes how a room feels. We install recessed and fixture lighting, pendants, under-cabinet strips, and exterior and security lights, and put the switches and dimmers where you will actually reach for them.

  • Recessed and can lights
  • Fixtures and pendants
  • Under-cabinet lighting
  • Exterior and security lighting
Ask about lighting installation

Ceiling fans

A ceiling fan needs a box rated to carry it. We install new fans, replace old ones, add a separate switch for the light where there is room to, and make sure it runs smooth and quiet.

  • New fan installation
  • Fan-rated boxes
  • Separate fan and light control
Ask about ceiling fans

Commercial electrical

They work in residential and commercial. For businesses that means lighting upgrades, new circuits for equipment, build-outs and remodels, and fast, careful troubleshooting when something stops working.

  • Lighting and fixture upgrades
  • Equipment circuits
  • Build-outs and remodels
  • Repairs

Residential & commercial

Homes and businesses.

The same care goes into a storefront’s lighting as into a family’s kitchen circuit. For businesses, work can often be planned around your hours.

Safety first

Shut it off, then call.

For a burning smell, sparks, a hot panel or a partial power loss, turn off the breaker or the main if it is safe, then call (417) 879-6153. For fire or smoke, get out and call 911. Stay clear of downed lines and call your utility.
