When something stops working on a circuit, or a panel starts showing its age, the next step is a call and a clear answer about what the job involves. We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in Cedarburg and the surrounding area, from a single dead outlet to a full service upgrade. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, so you are not sitting on a problem until the week resets.
The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. You call, describe what you are seeing, and get a straight explanation of what the work covers and what it costs. Homeowners in older properties, small business owners, and landlords managing rental units all reach us the same way.

Not every power problem starts inside the house. When lights go out on one side of the home, a circuit loses power for no clear reason, or the meter reads fine while the panel acts up, the question of who owns the fault matters before any work begins.
We start by checking what the panel is doing and tracing the affected circuits. If the problem sits between the meter and the street, that portion belongs to the utility, and we tell you that plainly so you know who to call and what to report. If the fault is on your side of the meter, we find it, explain what caused it, and scope the repair before anything is opened up.
A panel check looks at breaker condition, connection integrity at the lugs and bus bars, signs of heat damage or corrosion, and whether the grounding and bonding are in order. Panels in older Cedarburg homes sometimes carry breaker types that have been out of production for decades, and replacement parts are not always available. When that is the situation, we say so on the call rather than after a visit is already on the calendar.
If the issue traces back to the service entrance or the meter base, we document what we found and explain what the utility needs to know. Some service-entrance and meter upgrade work falls on our side of that line, and we handle it. The distinction is always explained before any scope is agreed.
When a job is complete, what gets left behind matters beyond the repair itself. We test the circuits affected, confirm that protection devices are functioning, and label the panel clearly so every breaker corresponds to the circuit it controls. A panel that is accurately labeled is a practical tool for anyone who owns or manages the property going forward.
That documentation carries weight when a home is listed for sale or a rental unit turns over. An inspector who opens the panel and finds clear labeling, correct breaker sizing, and no open knockouts is looking at a property that was maintained properly. We keep your home powered and safe, and the paperwork that comes with a job done right is part of what that means.
Grounding and bonding are verified as part of any panel work. Surge protection installation is noted in the same record. If a permit is pulled for the work, the inspection sign-off becomes part of the property file. Ask what documentation applies to your job and you get a straight answer on the call.
Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, the situation that leads to a call is usually more specific than a general category. Here is what those situations look like in practice.
A homeowner replaces a standard switch with a smart switch and finds the new device needs a neutral wire the old box never had. A dimmer that works fine on incandescent bulbs flickers constantly with LEDs. These are common installation problems that come down to wiring compatibility and load matching. We confirm what the box contains, what the fixture requires, and whether the circuit can support the change before anything is installed.
Ice storms and extended outages are a real part of winter in this region, and a generator that is not properly wired to the panel is not much use when the grid goes down. A transfer switch isolates the generator from the utility line, which is both a code requirement and a basic safety measure. We handle the electrical hookup from the panel to the generator connection point, including load calculations to confirm the circuits the generator will carry. If the panel needs modification to support the transfer switch, that is part of the scope.
Cedarburg has a stock of older homes, and older homes carry wiring that was installed under different standards. Knob-and-tube wiring runs without a ground and uses insulation that degrades with age. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from a later era creates risks at the connection points where it meets devices and fixtures. A full rewire replaces the wiring throughout. A partial rewire addresses specific runs or rooms where the condition is most pressing. Either way, the assessment comes first and the scope is agreed before work starts.
Homes wired with aluminum branch circuits are not necessarily unsafe, but the connection points require attention. Where aluminum meets a device or fixture rated only for copper, the joint can loosen and heat over time. Remediation involves replacing devices with those rated for aluminum, or adding approved connectors at each junction. We assess the extent of the aluminum wiring, explain the options, and confirm the scope on the call.
The honest answer is that the price depends on what the job turns out to involve. Three things move a quote: what the fault actually is once it is traced, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel has the capacity to carry what is being added or changed.
A straightforward outlet replacement is a different job from tracing a fault through a wall in a home with original wiring. A dimmer swap in a box with a neutral wire is a different job from one that requires a new run. We scope the work on the call, ask the right questions about what you are seeing, and give you a price that reflects what the job actually covers.
Decisions about the work get made while you are on the phone. That means you know the cost and the scope before a visit is ever scheduled, and nothing is added to the job without a conversation first. Anything not covered here is on the electrical services page.
Call (262) 955-2829 and ask what your situation involves.
Calling is the whole process. You describe what is happening, someone who knows the trade asks follow-up questions, and the job is scoped before anything is put on the calendar. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, which means a problem that surfaces on a Saturday morning does not have to wait until Monday to get a price and a plan.
Some electrical situations cannot wait. A panel that smells like it is burning, an outlet that is warm to the touch, or a breaker that will not reset after tripping are not problems to leave until a more convenient slot opens. Call and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you what the situation calls for and what to do in the meantime.
Rental properties and small commercial spaces have constraints that a straightforward home repair does not. A tenant who cannot be without power for a full day, or a business that needs to stay operational during a panel upgrade, requires a different approach to sequencing the work. We work through those constraints on the call so the schedule accounts for them before anyone shows up.
We serve Cedarburg and the communities around it throughout Ozaukee County. Grafton, Thiensville, Mequon, Saukville, and Port Washington are all covered, along with the rural and residential areas between them. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring, wherever in the county the work is.
If you are managing a property in any of these communities, or dealing with an electrical problem at a home or business anywhere in the area, the call and the quote work the same way.
Call (262) 955-2829 and we will confirm coverage and scope the job from there.
Homes built several decades ago were wired for a fraction of the load a modern household draws. Knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, and aluminum branch-circuit wiring are all common findings in this area's older housing stock. The practical result is breakers that trip under loads they should handle, outlets that cannot support three-prong plugs without additional work, and panels with no room for the circuits a home now needs. A call to describe what you are seeing is the right starting point, and we can usually tell you on the phone whether the situation points to a repair or something more involved.
Yes. Common area electrical work, including hallway lighting, shared panel circuits, and exterior fixtures, falls within what we handle. The access and authorization arrangements for common areas typically go through the building owner or manager.
It depends on which circuits are being worked on. If the work does not involve the circuit feeding the fridge or freezer, those appliances stay on. If the panel needs to come down, everything goes off for that period. We go over which circuits are affected and for how long when we scope the job.
The work is complete, the area is cleaned up, and the circuits involved are confirmed to be working before we leave. If there are findings that affect other parts of the property, we go over those with you before we go. You get a clear picture of what was done and what, if anything, still needs attention.
In some older properties, running wiring to a lower floor or through a floor joist bay requires access from below. Where that is not possible from a basement or crawl space, a section of flooring may need to come up. We identify that as part of the scope before work starts.
A tenant can call (262) 955-2829 to describe what they are seeing, and we can help assess the situation.
Scheduling and authorizing the work still goes through the property owner or manager. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
Whether a permit is required depends on the type and scope of the work. Panel upgrades, new circuit installations, and rewiring projects typically involve a permit and a subsequent inspection, while smaller repairs often do not. We confirm what applies to your specific job before anything is scheduled, and where a permit is required, we walk you through what that means for the timeline.
Call now. Get on the schedule. Know what the work involves.
That is the whole process.
Call (262) 955-2829 between 6:00 AM and 9:30 PM, any day of the week.
We handle the quote, the scope, and the scheduling on that call. A period at the end of a sentence carries more authority than a promise, and the promise here is simple: you call, you get answers, and you know what happens next.

Electrical problems show up in all shapes and sizes, from a single dead outlet to a panel that can no longer carry the load a modern home puts through it. We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work across Cedarburg and the surrounding county, every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. The table below covers what each service involves, who it fits best, and what is worth knowing before you call. Call for a quote and we will scope the job on the phone before anything is scheduled.
| Service Type | What It Covers | Ideal For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | 240-volt circuits for dryers and ovens, Refrigerator and large appliance circuits, Electrical supply circuits for AC units | Homes adding or replacing major appliances that need their own circuit | A dedicated circuit runs from the panel to a single appliance without sharing load. For AC units, we handle the circuit, the disconnect, and the panel capacity needed to feed the unit. |
| Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades | 200-amp service upgrade, Load calculation and panel sizing, Subpanel additions for garages or additions | Homes adding EV chargers, electric heating circuits, or significant new load | A 100-amp panel that was adequate years ago often falls short once modern appliances and charging equipment are in the picture. We confirm capacity before the work starts. |
| Heat Tape Installation | Dedicated circuit sized to tape wattage, Weatherproof outdoor connections, Breaker selection for continuous load | Homes with vulnerable pipe runs in unheated spaces or roof edges prone to ice dams | Heat tape circuits must be rated for continuous outdoor use through a Wisconsin winter. The circuit runs from the panel to the tape connection point with weatherproof terminations throughout. |
