Panel upgrades
Older Dayton homes built for 60 or 100 amps can't handle modern loads. We upgrade to 200A service, permitted, inspected, ready for EV chargers and central air.

What we do
Residential and commercial electrical services in Dayton.
Done to Ohio code, on time, with a clean job site at the end. No call-out fee.
EV charger installation
Level 2 home chargers on a dedicated 240V circuit. We pull permits, run conduit clean, leave your panel labeled.
Generator installation
Standby generators for outages, transfer switches done to code. Keep the heat on, the food cold, and the basement dry next time the grid goes down.
Whole-house rewire
When patching isn't safe anymore, we rewire — knob-and-tube out, modern circuits in, panel relocated if needed, inspection passed.
Electrical troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, hot switches — we diagnose what's actually wrong, not just what looks easy to replace.
Commercial electrical
Tenant fit-outs, code corrections, sign hookups, and small commercial projects across the Miami Valley.
Emergency electrician
Power's out in part of the house. The outlet smells hot. The breaker keeps tripping and the panel feels warm. Call — we'll come.
Lighting installation
Recessed cans, under-cabinet, exterior security, motion-sensor floods — interior or exterior, residential or commercial.
