Residential electrical services.
A full scope of electrical services for single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and small multi-unit buildings. All work performed by licensed electricians, permitted where required, and backed by a written warranty.
Service upgrades, panel replacements, and sub-panels.
100A to 200A Service Upgrades
Older homes were often built with 60A or 100A service that simply cannot handle modern loads — central air, EV charging, induction ranges, heat pumps, and home offices. We upsize the service entrance, meter, and main panel, coordinate with the utility for the re-feed, and pull the permit.
- 200A and 400A service upgrades
- Meter and service-entrance replacement
- Utility coordination & permit pulls
- L&I inspection scheduling
Panel Replacements & Sub-Panels
Recalled FPE Stab-Lok, Zinsco, and similar known-failure panels are a fire risk. We replace them with code-compliant Square D, Eaton, or Siemens panels and add sub-panels for additions, finished basements, or detached garages.
- Recalled-panel replacement (FPE, Zinsco)
- AFCI & GFCI breaker installation
- Sub-panels for additions & garages
- Dedicated 240V circuits
Rewiring, knob-and-tube removal, and new circuits.
Whole-House Rewires
Many Philadelphia-area homes still have knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring — both are insurance and safety concerns. We replace it with modern copper wiring, AFCI/GFCI protection, and grounded outlets throughout, working room-by-room to minimize drywall damage.
- Knob-and-tube wiring removal
- Aluminum branch-circuit remediation
- Two-prong to three-prong outlet upgrades
- AFCI/GFCI compliance retrofits
New Circuits, Outlets & Switches
Single new circuits for kitchen appliances, home gyms, hot tubs, workshops, and home offices. We size the breaker correctly, run wire neatly, and label the panel so the next electrician knows what's what.
- Dedicated appliance circuits (range, dryer, hot tub)
- Outdoor & weatherproof outlets
- USB outlets & smart switches
- Whole-home panel re-labeling
EV chargers, generators, and transfer switches.
Level 2 EV Charger Installation
We install hardwired and outlet-mounted Level 2 EV chargers — Tesla, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, and others. Includes a load calculation to confirm your panel can support the new circuit, plus a 14-50, 6-50, or hardwired termination depending on the unit.
- Hardwired 240V EV charger installs
- NEMA 14-50 / 6-50 outlet installations
- Load calculations & load management devices
- Outdoor and garage mounting
Standby Generators & Transfer Switches
Whole-home and partial-load standby generators — Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton. We size the unit to your actual load, set the pad, run the gas line coordination, wire the automatic transfer switch, and start-test the system. Storm-season ready.
- Standby generator installation
- Automatic transfer switches
- Manual interlock kits (budget option)
- Portable generator inlet boxes
Lighting, smart switches, and surge protection.
Recessed Lighting & Fixture Installation
Recessed cans, under-cabinet, pendants, chandeliers, ceiling fans, and outdoor security lighting. We patch the drywall where possible and coordinate paint when not.
- LED recessed lighting (new construction & retrofit)
- Chandelier & pendant installation
- Outdoor security & landscape lighting
- Smart switches, dimmers & scenes
- Whole-home surge protection
