Electrical Services in Wilkes-Barre

Our full range of electrical services covers everything your home or business needs — all performed to current NEC code.

Landscape Lighting Installation

We design a custom layout, install a weatherproof transformer, run buried low-voltage cable to each fixture location, and program timers or photocells for effortless automated operation.

Electrical Inspection

Outdated wiring, missing ground wires, and improper connections are invisible dangers in thousands of homes. Our licensed inspectors identify every safety concern and prioritize what needs attention first.

Smart Home Electrical

We install smart switches, dimmers, and outlets that work with your existing Wi-Fi network, set up automation routines, and ensure every device has the neutral wire and load capacity it requires.

Security Camera Wiring

Professionally wired security cameras deliver reliable 24/7 recording without Wi-Fi dropouts or battery hassles. Protect your home and family with a surveillance system you can count on.

Electrical Repair Services

From flickering lights and dead outlets to tripping breakers and buzzing switches, fast electrical repairs restore your home to safe, reliable operation and give you peace of mind.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

An upgraded electrical panel supports modern power demands, prevents tripped breakers, and can increase your home value. Stop managing an overloaded system and power your home with confidence.

Outlet Installation

Add outlets exactly where you need them and eliminate extension cord clutter. New outlets improve convenience, reduce fire hazards, and increase your home value.

Generator Installation

A properly installed standby generator protects your family, your food supply, and your medical equipment. We pull all permits and ensure code-compliant connections every time.

Circuit Breaker Repair

Breakers that trip repeatedly are warning you of a serious problem. Forcing them back on risks fire or electrocution. Our electricians safely diagnose whether the issue is the breaker, the wiring, or an overload.

Smoke Detector Installation

We install hardwired smoke detectors in every required location, interconnect them so all units sound together, add battery backup, and test the full system before we leave.

Whole House Surge Protector

We install a Type 2 surge protection device directly at your electrical panel, wire it to a dedicated double-pole breaker, and verify the grounding system that makes it effective.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

We install hardwired CO detectors at code-required locations near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances, interconnect them with your smoke alarm system, and verify operation with professional testing equipment.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans involve heavy fixtures and live wiring above your head. Our licensed electricians ensure every connection is secure, every mount is load-rated, and every fan runs safely.

EV Charger Installation

We assess your panel capacity, install a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charging unit in your garage or driveway, and handle all permits and inspections from start to finish.

Recessed Lighting Installation

We map out fixture placement for optimal light coverage, cut precise ceiling openings, run new circuits as needed, and install IC-rated housings that are safe for insulated ceilings.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring

We plan the new circuit layout, pull permits, run code-compliant copper wiring through your walls and attic, install a new panel if needed, and restore your walls with minimal disruption.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Stop guessing why your power is acting up. Professional electrical troubleshooting pinpoints hidden problems fast, saving you time and preventing damage to your home and devices.

Ring Doorbell Installation

Improper doorbell wiring can damage your transformer or void your warranty. Our electricians verify voltage, test connections, and ensure your Ring operates safely and reliably.

Indoor Lighting Installation

Upgrade your home with new light fixtures that transform the look and feel of every room. Professional installation ensures proper support, clean wiring, and the right dimming compatibility.

Commercial Electrician Services

We handle tenant improvements, lighting retrofits, panel upgrades, dedicated equipment circuits, emergency power systems, and code compliance upgrades for commercial and industrial spaces.

Electrical Installation Services

From new construction wiring to appliance hookups and dedicated circuits, professional electrical installation ensures everything works correctly and meets code from day one.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

Water and electricity are a deadly combination. Pool and hot tub wiring requires GFCI protection, proper bonding of all metal surfaces, and specific clearance distances. Our electricians follow NEC Article 680 to the letter.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, causing loose connections that overheat and arc. Insurance companies increasingly refuse to cover aluminum-wired homes. Our licensed electricians eliminate the risk permanently.
