Middleton Electrical Company handles residential and commercial electrical work across Middleton and Dane County, from a single outlet that stopped working to a full panel replacement and everything in between. Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, the job gets the same attention: a clear scope, a price confirmed before anything is scheduled, and work that meets code. Straight scheduling. Upfront pricing. Code-compliant wiring.
If you are dealing with a tripped breaker, a flickering light, or a circuit that will not hold load, call us. If you are planning a renovation, adding a workshop, or putting in an EV charger, call us for that too. We cover the full range of electrical work for homes and businesses throughout the area, and we are available every day from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM.
Electrical problems rarely announce themselves at a convenient time. A breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that stopped working, a burning smell near a panel, a light that flickers when the refrigerator kicks on: these are familiar problems, and fault diagnosis is where every job starts. Before any repair is made, we find the actual source of the problem. That means checking the wiring, the connections, the breaker, and the load, not just swapping the part that looks burned.
On the installation side, we handle outlet and switch installation, lighting upgrades, ceiling fan wiring, and new circuits for additions, basements, and garages. For commercial clients, that extends to dedicated circuit installation for equipment, wiring for tenant buildouts, and electrical repairs on commercial panels. Arc-fault and ground-fault protection, grounding and bonding, load calculations for new circuits: these are part of the job, not add-ons.
We give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell. If a repair is the right call, we say so. If the wiring behind the outlet is the real issue, we tell you that too. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Some electrical work goes deeper than a single circuit. Older homes in Dane County often have 100-amp service panels that were sized for a different era, fuse boxes that have never been converted to breakers, or knob-and-tube wiring that is still carrying load decades after it should have been replaced. Aluminum branch wiring, common in homes built during a specific period, presents its own set of concerns at the connections and devices.
We handle all of it. Breaker panel replacement and upgrade, 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, fuse-to-breaker conversions, whole-home and partial rewiring, subpanel installation, and service-entrance upgrades are all part of what we do. Electrical safety inspections fit here too, whether you are buying a house and want to know what the panel and wiring actually look like, or you have an older home and want a clear picture before something goes wrong.
Permit work is part of larger electrical jobs, and we handle that side of it plainly. We tell you if a permit is needed. We name the fault plainly. You decide the fix. Let us handle the panel and the permits.
Electrical service scheduled without the runaround is what we aim for on every job, including the ones that take more than an afternoon.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job moving, whether that means finishing a lighting install in a single visit or running a new circuit for a charger the same week you call.
Recessed lighting installation, under-cabinet lighting, pendant and chandelier wiring, outdoor and landscape lighting, security and motion sensor lights: these are among the most common requests we handle for homeowners updating their spaces. Each job involves more than swapping a fixture. The circuit has to support the load, the junction boxes have to be rated for what is being hung, and the wiring has to be run cleanly to the switch or the panel.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement fall in the same category. A fan with a light kit on an older ceiling box, or a heavy fan on a vaulted ceiling, involves more than the fan itself. We check the box, the wiring, and the switch before anything goes up.
EV charger installation is a growing part of what we do in this area. A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and the panel has to have the capacity to carry it. We size the circuit, check the panel, and run the wiring to where the charger mounts, typically in an attached garage. If the panel needs space or capacity before the circuit can be added, we address that as part of the same job.
Whole-home surge protection is installed at the panel and covers the entire electrical system, including appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment. Backup generator hookup and transfer switch installation are on the electrical side of that work: wiring the transfer switch, connecting it to the panel, and making sure the generator feeds the right circuits safely when utility power goes out.
A dryer outlet, an electric range circuit, a 240-volt outlet for a welder or air compressor: these all require a dedicated circuit sized for the load. Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit is one of the more common causes of nuisance tripping and, in some cases, wiring damage.
Garage electrical service and workshop wiring follow the same logic. A well-wired workshop has circuits that can handle the tools running at the same time, outlets positioned where they are actually useful, and lighting that makes the space workable. We wire new garages and update the electrical in existing ones, including running circuits for block heaters, which matter in a Wisconsin winter.
Dedicated appliance circuits and 240-volt circuit installation are code-specific work, and we handle the permit side where it applies.
Doing electrical work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, whether the property is in Middleton or across the county.
This area's panels, permits, and utility rules are familiar ground. Dane County's housing stock runs from older Middleton bungalows with original fuse boxes and knob-and-tube wiring to newer construction in Waunakee, Verona, and Fitchburg where the panel is modern but the demand has grown. Madison's mix of rental properties, commercial buildings, and older residential neighborhoods presents a different set of electrical conditions than the newer subdivisions in Sun Prairie or Stoughton. We work across all of it.
Wisconsin winters put specific demands on electrical systems. Backup power matters here when ice storms take out utility lines for days. Heated garage circuits, block-heater outlets, and EV chargers installed in attached garages are practical needs in this climate, not optional upgrades. Pre-purchase electrical inspections are another common request: before you close on an older home in Monona or anywhere else in the county, knowing what the panel and wiring actually look like is worth the call.
We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own. That means not cutting corners on the rough-in, not leaving a panel in a state that will cause problems later, and not recommending work that is not actually needed.
Seeing flickering lights or a warm outlet? The first step is a call, not a guessing game about what it will cost.
Electrical pricing varies based on what the job actually involves. A single outlet replacement is a different scope from running a new 240-volt circuit to a garage, which is a different scope from a full panel upgrade with a permit. We do not quote a flat number before we know what we are dealing with, but we do confirm the price before anything is scheduled. The scope and the rate are settled on the call, so you know what you are agreeing to before anyone shows up.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front. If the job turns out to be more involved than the call suggested, we say so before the work changes, not after. Reach out and describe what the breaker is doing.
The call is where the job takes shape. You describe what you are seeing, we ask the questions that help scope it, and the price is confirmed before anything is booked. That same number is the one to call if anything needs to be clarified before or after the visit. There is no separate billing line, no scheduling desk that does not know what was quoted. The scope and the price are settled before the job starts, and the record of that is the call itself.
When you call, you reach someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. They can tell you what the visit involves, what factors affect the price, and what to expect before anything is scheduled. The call is where the job takes shape.

That local context shapes how we scope and approach each job.
Every repair is tested before the visit ends. We trace the fault, make the fix, and verify the circuit is working correctly before we go. If the job involves a panel or a new circuit, we confirm the breaker is holding load and the wiring is correct at every connection point.
Write down what you are seeing and when it started. Note which outlets, lights, or circuits are affected, whether a breaker tripped or will not reset, and whether there is any smell, heat, or discoloration near a device or panel. The more detail you have, the more accurately we can scope the job on the call.
Ask what the visit covers, what the price includes, whether a permit is required for the job, and what access you need to provide. We go through all of that on the call before anything is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front.
Call us and describe what you are seeing. We will go through what was done on the original visit and figure out whether the fault was the same one or something new. If the repair needs a follow-up, we schedule it and work through the problem until it is resolved.
