Homes in Troy range from older wood-frame houses on original wiring to newer builds with modern panels, and the electrical work each one needs can be very different. An older house might have circuits that were added over the years without documentation, wiring that has aged past what it was designed to carry, or a panel that was adequate decades ago and is not adequate now. A newer home might need a dedicated circuit for an EV charger or a subpanel for a detached workshop. We handle the full range for homeowners, rental properties, and commercial spaces throughout the area.
We cover Troy and Montgomery County for electrical repair, panel upgrades, wiring, lighting, EV charger installation, backup generator hookups, surge protection, and electrical safety inspections. We take calls every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM.

A quote for electrical work is built around what the job actually involves, and that depends on a few things that only become clear once the situation is described or seen. The nature of the fault matters: a dead outlet on its own circuit is a different scope than one that has taken out a whole run of outlets because of a shared connection problem. What has to be opened up to reach the wiring matters too. A straightforward outlet replacement on an accessible wall is not the same as tracing a fault through finished drywall.
The existing panel and circuit are the other factor. If a homeowner wants to add a large appliance or a charger, we first confirm whether the panel has the capacity to support it. If it does not, the panel becomes part of the conversation before the circuit work can be quoted on its own. None of these figures are invented on the phone. The price is confirmed before we schedule the visit, and you know what the quote covers before we arrive.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front.
Call (980) 508-9795 and describe what you are dealing with, and we will tell you what the visit involves and what it costs.
When a property is asked to run something it was never wired for, the panel is the first place to look. A 100-amp service panel made sense for a home with a modest set of loads. Add a central heating and cooling system on a dedicated circuit, an electric dryer, a range, and now an EV charger in the garage, and the math changes. We run a load calculation to find out what the panel is actually carrying against what it was sized for. That tells us whether there is room for what the customer wants to add, or whether the panel needs to come first.
A panel that is undersized for the load it carries shows up in a few ways: breakers that trip under normal demand, limited availability of open slots, or a service entrance that cannot support a larger draw. A service upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service gives the property room to carry modern loads without the problems that come from pushing a panel past its design. We handle the load calculation, the panel replacement, the service-entrance work, and the permit. Subpanel installation for a detached garage or outbuilding follows the same process: size the load, run the circuit, connect it correctly at the main panel.
Grounding and bonding are addressed as part of every panel job, not as an add-on. Code-compliant wiring throughout the installation is the baseline, not a feature.
The calls we get on indoor lighting usually come from one of a few situations: a fixture that has stopped working, a room that needs recessed cans added, or a ceiling fan installation where no existing wiring is in the ceiling. Ceiling fan installation is one of the more common requests, and when there is no existing box or circuit to work from, we run the wiring and install the switch before the fan goes up. If a fan is replacing a light fixture, we check that the ceiling box is rated for the fan's weight before anything is mounted.
Recessed lighting retrofits are worth doing at the same time as other ceiling or attic work, when access is easier. LED fixture upgrades are a practical choice for rooms that still have older fixtures drawing more power than necessary.
Exterior lighting covers a range of work: security lighting installation at the corners of a house, landscape lighting wiring along a driveway or path, and general outdoor fixture replacement. Outdoor wiring is installed with weatherproof boxes and GFCI protection where required. For properties with long runs from the panel to an outbuilding or exterior location, we size the circuit for the actual load and confirm the burial depth for any underground work. Doing exterior lighting at the same time as other outdoor electrical work, like a generator hookup or a new circuit to a detached structure, saves opening up the same areas twice.
Electric ranges, dryers, and large refrigeration units all need a dedicated circuit sized to the load they draw. Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit leads to nuisance trips and, over time, to heat at connection points. We size the circuit for the appliance, run it from the panel, and confirm the breaker matches the load. For homes where the appliance is being added for the first time, we check panel capacity before the circuit work is scoped.
A Level 2 home EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. The installation involves confirming the panel has capacity, sizing the circuit for the charger, running the wire to the garage or parking location, and making the connection at the charger end. If the panel does not have room, a panel upgrade is scoped as part of the same conversation. Permit requirements are confirmed before the work is scheduled.
A safety inspection is useful before a property changes hands, before a new tenant moves in, or any time a property owner wants a documented picture of where the electrical system stands. The inspection covers the panel condition, wiring type and age, grounding, GFCI and AFCI coverage, and any visible code concerns. Older homes in Montgomery County often have wiring that has been added to over the years without a clear record of what goes where. An inspection gives the owner that record.
Intermittent faults are the hardest electrical problems to describe and the hardest to find. A breaker that trips only under certain conditions, a light that flickers only when another appliance is running, an outlet that works most of the time but not always, these are signs of a connection problem, a load problem, or a wiring issue that does not show up on a simple check. We trace the circuit, test under load where possible, and find the source rather than resetting the breaker and waiting for it to come back.
Fixture installation covers replacing an existing fixture with a new one, adding a fixture where none exists, and running the circuit if the location has no existing wiring. Dimmer installation and multi-location switch wiring fall into this category as well. We confirm the box is rated for the fixture weight before installation, and we test the circuit fully before the job is closed out. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test.
Landlords and property managers in Troy typically need two things handled cleanly: the work itself and the paperwork that goes with it. When a tenant is in the property, access has to be coordinated. We work around the tenant's schedule where possible, and we confirm access arrangements on the call when the job is booked.
The invoice goes to whoever is responsible for the property, whether that is the owner directly or a management company. For landlords who want a written record of what was done and what was found, an inspection report gives them documentation they can keep on file for the property. That is useful before a new lease, after a repair, or any time a question comes up about the condition of the wiring.
For rental properties with older wiring or panels that have not been evaluated recently, an inspection is a practical starting point before a repair call turns into a larger conversation at the property.
The person who answers the phone can tell you what the visit involves. Describe what you are seeing and we will walk through what the job typically covers, what the visit will cost, and what the schedule looks like. The price is confirmed before anything is booked.
For situations that will not keep, emergency calls are answered during our operating hours, every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
If you are dealing with a burning smell near the panel, sparks from an outlet, or a loss of power that cannot wait, call (980) 508-9795 and describe the situation. We will tell you what the schedule allows.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the hours and access that the property allows. That gets sorted on the call before the visit is confirmed, so there are no gaps in what was agreed.
We cover Troy and the surrounding communities throughout Montgomery County, including Biscoe, Star, Candor, Mount Gilead, and Badin. If you are in the area and want to confirm coverage for your address, call and we will work it out on the phone before anything is scheduled.
Real experience. Local knowledge. Ready to wire. The options are set out on our services page.
Almost always, yes. A converted space that is being used as a living area, a home office, or a workshop draws more load than the existing lighting circuit it was built with. We determine what the space will be used for, size the circuits accordingly, and run them from the panel. Outlet placement, lighting, and any dedicated appliance circuits are all part of that conversation.
It depends on how much of the home is being rewired and how the work is sequenced. A targeted rewire of one or two circuits is far less disruptive than a whole-home rewire. We scope the work before the job starts and give you a realistic picture of what the disruption looks like and how long it is expected to last.
We can go over the findings and the work completed by phone with whoever needs that information. If you need the details passed along to someone else involved in a sale or property transaction, let us know when you call and we will make sure the right information gets communicated.
Reach us at (980) 508-9795 to arrange it.
Yes. We test circuits, outlets, switches, and any newly installed equipment before we leave. For panel work, that includes confirming breakers are properly loaded and that the grounding and bonding are correct. The job is not signed off until the work has been verified to be functioning as intended.
We walk through what was found and explain what the concern is in plain terms. Some findings are immediate safety issues that are worth addressing right away. Others are older installations that are not up to current code but are not creating an active hazard. You get a plain answer on repair versus upgrade so you can decide what makes sense for the property.
We communicate with you as the work progresses so you know where things stand. If the job is taking longer than scoped, we tell you why and what the revised timeline looks like before it becomes a problem. The goal is to avoid surprises about when power will be restored.
We trace and label the circuits as part of the work when that is needed. It takes time to do correctly, and we factor that into the scope of the job before pricing it. Unlabeled panels are common in older homes and in properties that have been renovated more than once, so it is not an unusual situation.
Older homes in the area often have wiring that was extended or modified without a clear record of what was done. We trace the circuits, identify what is in place, and tell you what the system can safely carry before any new work is scoped. If the additions created a problem, we find it and explain the options.
Yes. We evaluate what has been done, identify what remains, and scope the work needed to bring the job to completion. The price is based on what the job actually involves from that point forward, not on what someone else quoted before us. Call and describe the situation and we can give you a sense of what the visit will cover.
When something in your home or property is not working the way it should, the next step is a phone call.
