Older properties in Vernon carry wiring that was put in when the loads were smaller, the devices were fewer, and the code looked different. A house built a generation or two ago might have a panel that was perfectly adequate then and is genuinely undersized now. Add an EV charger, a dedicated circuit for a new appliance, or a set of added outlets in a garage, and what was marginal becomes a problem. We handle that work, from the diagnostic call through to the finished circuit, for homeowners and landlords across the town and the surrounding area.
Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, we take the same approach: scope the job on the call, explain what it involves, and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
Call (262) 955-2829 to get started.
Pricing is settled on the phone, before a visit is ever scheduled. When you call about a panel upgrade, a new circuit, or a wiring problem, we ask what you are seeing and where, and from that conversation we give you a rate and tell you what it covers. You know the scope before anything is committed.
What moves a quote is the actual condition of the job. The fault that turns out to be upstream of where it first appeared, the section of wiring that has to come out of a wall to reach the connection point, whether the existing panel has the capacity to carry what is being added. Those are the things that change what a job involves, and we work through them on the call so the price you get reflects the real scope. Ask what the work covers and you get a straight answer.
Houses of a certain age in this area carry wiring that was installed under different standards. Knob-and-tube wiring runs without a ground, uses insulation that degrades over time, and cannot support a three-prong outlet without additional work. It is still present in a number of older homes, sometimes running alongside newer wiring added during a renovation, sometimes still carrying circuits that were never updated.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring is a different issue. It is not the aluminum service entrance cable, which is standard and fine. It is the branch wiring that feeds outlets and switches, and the risk is at the connections where aluminum meets devices. Those connections loosen over time in ways that copper does not, and a loose connection under load generates heat. We assess what is there, explain what the risk is, and scope the remediation from that point.
Not everything old needs to be replaced. A section of knob-and-tube wiring that is in good condition, not buried under insulation, and not carrying a load it was not sized for may be left in place after a thorough inspection. What has to come out is wiring that has deteriorated insulation, connections that have been spliced improperly, or circuits that are being asked to carry more than they were built for. Working here means getting the diagnosis right before the work starts. That principle applies as much to deciding what to leave alone as to deciding what to fix.
Scheduling a service call is simple.
Call (262) 955-2829, describe what you are seeing, and we scope the job and confirm the price on the same call.
We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, which means a problem that shows up on a Saturday evening does not have to wait until Monday.
For situations that will not keep, we take short-notice work. If a breaker will not reset, an outlet is hot to the touch, or something is sparking, call and describe what you are seeing. We will help you assess how urgent the situation is and what to do while you wait for it to be addressed.
Landlords and property managers often need work done around tenants. A rental unit that has to stay occupied, a building where the common areas cannot be shut down for a full day. We work through those constraints on the call so the visit is planned around what the property actually allows.
A voltage spike can travel through the utility line and reach every circuit in the house before anything can be done about it. Panel-mounted surge protection intercepts that spike before it reaches the branch circuits, protecting appliances, electronics, and the wiring itself. It is a single installation that covers the whole home, and it pairs well with a panel upgrade when one is already on the schedule.
Outdoor lighting covers a range of situations: a driveway that needs a motion-sensor flood, a detached garage that needs its own circuit, a landscape lighting run that needs weatherproof connections and the right circuit protection. We handle the wiring and the fixture installation together, so the outdoor work is done in a single visit rather than spread across two.
An outdoor outlet that is not properly protected fails in the first hard freeze. Weatherproof covers and in-use enclosures keep moisture out when a cord is plugged in, and GFCI protection on any outdoor circuit is a code requirement. We install both, and we wire outdoor outlets to a dedicated circuit when the load calls for it.
A room that does not have enough outlets is a common situation in older homes that were wired before the current standard for outlet spacing. We add outlets where they are needed, replace failed devices, and upgrade to GFCI or AFCI protection where the location requires it. Dimmer switches are part of this work too, and compatibility with the fixture matters before anything is installed.
Battery-operated alarms are better than nothing, but hardwired alarms with battery backup do not go silent when a battery runs low, and interconnected alarms mean that when one triggers, they all trigger. We run the wiring, connect the alarms to the circuit, and confirm the interconnect is working before we leave. For a rental property, hardwired alarms are often a code requirement rather than an option. Each service is described in more depth on our page listing every electrical service.
Electrical work that was done without a permit, by someone who did not know the code, or during a renovation where shortcuts were taken turns up regularly in older homes. Some of it is a straightforward correction: a connection that needs to be remade properly, a box that was not grounded, a circuit that was extended without being sized for the added load. Some of it has to come out entirely.
We tell the difference by looking at what is actually there. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring. If a correction can be made without replacing the whole run, we say so. If it cannot, we explain why before anything is touched. The goal is a result that holds up, not a repair that covers the problem until the next visit.
Recessed lighting and LED retrofits are among the most common lighting requests we get. Replacing a dated fixture with recessed cans changes how a room reads without a major renovation. LED retrofits in existing housings cut the load on the circuit and improve the quality of light at the same time. Ceiling fan installation is part of this work too, including wiring for fans where no ceiling box was previously installed.
Under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen and accent lighting in a finished basement both require a circuit that was not in the original plan. We run those circuits cleanly, without surface-mounted conduit where the wall allows a proper run.
Security lighting, motion-sensor floods, and pathway lighting all come up regularly for properties in this area. Exterior work requires weatherproof connections, the right enclosures, and GFCI protection on any circuit that feeds an outdoor location. If other outdoor work is already on the schedule, adding a lighting circuit at the same time is the efficient way to handle it. We keep your home powered and safe.
We cover Vernon and the communities around it throughout Waukesha County. Big Bend, Mukwonago, Tichigan, Potter Lake, and the broader Waukesha area are all part of the territory we work in regularly. Residential calls, rental properties, small commercial spaces. If you are in this part of the county and need electrical work done, call and we will confirm availability and scope the job on the same call.
Yes. Any circuit we add or modify is labeled at the panel. If we are doing a panel upgrade or a broader assessment, we go through the existing labels and correct any that are wrong or missing. A panel that is clearly labeled is easier to work with safely.
Call (262) 955-2829 and describe what you are seeing.
We want to know about it and we will work through what the situation requires. Give us as much detail as you can about what stopped working and when it happened relative to the visit.
An electrical safety inspection covers the panel, the branch circuits, grounding, visible wiring, and the protection devices throughout the home. In an older home, that inspection is also the point where knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or a panel that is undersized for the current load gets identified and explained. Call us before the inspection period closes and we will walk through what the assessment involves and what it covers.
Yes. A buyer or their representative can schedule an electrical inspection before a sale closes. Call and describe the situation, including what access has been arranged. We confirm what the inspection covers and what access we need before the visit is scheduled.
We work with landlords and property managers on GFCI upgrades, outlet and switch replacement, hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarm installation, panel assessments, and any wiring conditions that come up between tenants or during an inspection. Work can be scheduled around occupied units when the property requires it.
Call (262) 955-2829 and describe the property and what needs to be done, and we will scope the job on the call.
Yes. Running a dedicated circuit or upgrading the panel before the appliance is delivered is often the cleaner approach. It means the circuit is in place and confirmed before installation day. Call and tell us what appliance is coming and when, and we will scope the electrical work around that timeline.
Lifts and large compressors typically require a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized to the equipment's motor draw. Some units also require a specific outlet configuration or a disconnect mounted near the equipment. We confirm the electrical requirements from the equipment specs before the circuit is run.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we.

Electrical work in the surrounding towns: Mukwonago, Wales, Pewaukee, Delafield. Everywhere else we go is in our full list of communities.
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 Vernon 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring and Circuit Installation | New circuit runs from the panel, Home rewiring for older wiring types, Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring assessment | Older homes with degraded wiring or properties adding new circuits | Knob-and-tube wiring runs without a ground and uses insulation that degrades over time. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring carries its own risks at connections. Both are handled here. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation | Standard and GFCI outlet installation, AFCI outlet and breaker upgrades, Dimmer switch compatibility and installation | Homeowners, landlords, and property managers updating devices or adding outlets | GFCI protection is required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. A failed GFCI in one spot can cut power to outlets in unexpected places. |
| 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. |
