Wisconsin's housing stock features many older homes, especially in areas of Milwaukee, which often have electrical systems that predate current power demands and safety codes. Our process involves a thorough inspection of your existing wiring, identifying any potential hazards, capacity limitations, or code violations. We then present a clear plan for necessary upgrades or repairs, ensuring you understand each step involved in bringing your home's electrical system up to modern standards.
Adhering to Wisconsin's electrical codes and permit requirements is a fundamental part of our service. We manage the entire permitting and inspection process with local authorities, ensuring that all electrical installations and repairs are performed to code and are safely documented. This meticulous approach guarantees compliance and provides you with the confidence that your home's electrical system is secure and reliable. Our team handles the details so you don't have to.

Our procedure for replacing an electrical plug begins with ensuring the power to the circuit is off at the breaker box for safety. We then remove the old plug, inspect the existing wiring for any damage or wear, and attach the new plug to the wires. Power is then restored, and the new plug is tested to confirm it is working correctly and safely.
