Trusted electrical contractor in Des Moines, Iowa — panel upgrades, generator installs, EV chargers, and 24/7 emergency repair.
Whether it's a simple outlet repair or a complex commercial build-out, our electricians deliver professional results every time.
From new construction wiring to appliance hookups and dedicated circuits, professional electrical installation ensures everything works correctly and meets code from day one.
We disconnect the utility feed, swap your outdated panel for a modern load center, re-land every circuit on correctly rated breakers, and coordinate the final inspection with your municipality.
Overloaded outlets and daisy-chained power strips are leading causes of electrical fires. We install dedicated circuits with proper grounding and tamper-resistant receptacles to keep your family safe.
EV chargers draw significant power and require proper circuit protection. Our licensed electricians ensure your installation meets NEC code, manufacturer specs, and local requirements.
Improve airflow and cut energy costs year-round with a new ceiling fan. Proper installation ensures wobble-free operation and maximum efficiency in every room.
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.
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.
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.
Smart devices need proper wiring to function reliably. Many older homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes, causing flickering or device failure. Our electricians verify and upgrade wiring so your smart home works right.
CO detector placement matters as much as having one. Installed too high, too low, or too far from sources, they may not alarm in time. Our electricians follow manufacturer and code guidelines precisely.
Electrical problems often hide behind walls where they quietly worsen. Our licensed electricians follow a systematic diagnostic process to find issues before they become fire hazards or safety threats.
We run Cat6 or coax cable from each camera location to your DVR or NVR, mount cameras at optimal angles, install weatherproof junction boxes, and power everything through a centralized system.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Recessed lights create a clean, modern look while flooding your rooms with even illumination. LED recessed fixtures also cut your lighting energy use by up to 75 percent.
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.
An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.
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.
