Electrical Services in Decatur

Comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses — licensed, insured, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Whole House Surge Protector

A whole-house surge protector shields every appliance, device, and electronic system in your home from voltage spikes. One device at the panel protects thousands of dollars in equipment.

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Outdated wiring, missing ground wires, and improper connections are invisible dangers in thousands of homes.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.

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.

Landscape Lighting Installation

Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.

Generator Installation

Our licensed electricians handle every step of your generator install, from sizing the unit and pouring the pad to wiring the automatic transfer switch and final testing.

Indoor Lighting Installation

We remove old fixtures, upgrade the electrical box if needed, connect and mount the new fixture securely, and test dimmer compatibility so your lights perform exactly as expected.

Commercial Electrician Services

Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.

EV Charger Installation

Charge your electric vehicle overnight at home and wake up with a full battery every morning. A Level 2 charger delivers up to 10x faster charging than a standard outlet.

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.

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.

Outlet Installation

Our electricians locate the nearest power source, run new wiring through your walls, install the outlet box, and test the circuit to confirm safe, reliable operation.

Smoke Detector Installation

Working smoke detectors cut your risk of dying in a home fire nearly in half. Hardwired, interconnected units alert your entire household the moment smoke is detected anywhere.

Recessed Lighting Installation

Recessed lighting installed too close to insulation or with incorrect housings is a fire risk. Our electricians use only IC-rated, airtight fixtures and verify every connection for safe operation.

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.

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.

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.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

We install a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the equipment pad, wire the GFCI disconnect within sight of the unit, bond all metal components, and verify ground fault protection.

Ring Doorbell Installation

We mount your Ring doorbell at the optimal height, run low-voltage wiring from your existing doorbell transformer, and configure the app so you are up and running in one visit.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

We carefully remove aluminum branch circuit wiring, pull new copper conductors through your existing pathways, terminate every connection at outlets, switches, and the panel, and restore your walls.

Electrical Repair Services

Ignoring electrical problems lets them get worse. Loose connections, arcing wires, and overloaded circuits cause thousands of house fires each year. Our licensed team fixes issues safely, the first time.

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.

Electrical Troubleshooting

We use thermal imaging, multimeters, and circuit analyzers to trace faults through your wiring, identify the exact failure point, and recommend the most cost-effective repair.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring

Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.
