No surprise charges. No upsells. Just honest work at a fair rate.
Electrical Service Upgrades
If your home is running on 100-amp service and you're trying to power modern appliances, an EV charger, or a home standby generator, your system may not be able to keep up. We upgrade residential electrical service to 200-amp (or higher) safely and to code. Electrical Panel UpgradesOutdated or undersized panels are a fire and safety risk. We replace old fuse boxes, Federal Pacific panels, and undersized breaker panels with modern equipment from trusted brands like Square D and Cutler Hammer. Learn more about panel upgrades.
Outlet & Device Replacements
From standard outlets to GFCI and AFCI protected devices, we install and replace electrical devices throughout your home. This includes updating two-prong ungrounded outlets, adding USB outlets, and replacing worn or damaged devices.
Grounding & Safety Repairs
Most homes in the Capital District were built over 100 years ago. Older homes often have ungrounded wiring that poses a real safety risk. We identify grounding issues and correct them to bring your home up to current NEC standards.
Wiring for Renovations & Additions
Finishing a basement, adding a garage, or remodeling your kitchen? We handle all rough and finish wiring for residential renovation projects of any scope — from a single circuit to a full addition.Additional Services
