Most calls do not start with a job title. They start with something that stopped working. A breaker that will not stay reset. An outlet with no power. A light fixture that flickers every time the furnace kicks on. Working out what is actually wrong, and where the fault lives in the circuit, is part of what we do before any repair begins. We scope the problem first, explain what we found, and confirm the price before any work is scheduled.
We handle electrical repairs and installations for homes, rental properties, and small businesses throughout Verona and the surrounding area. Whether the call comes from a homeowner dealing with a panel that is out of room, a contractor needing circuits roughed in before drywall goes up, or a landlord trying to get a unit back in service, the process is the same. The person who answers the phone can tell you what the visit involves.
Call (608) 593-5149 to get started.
Electrical problems do not always wait for a convenient time. A tripped breaker that will not reset, a warm outlet, or a burning smell near the panel are situations worth treating as urgent, and we take short-notice calls when the schedule allows. When you call, we go through what you are seeing, figure out what the visit needs to cover, and find a time that works for your property and the people in it.
For rental units, we work around tenants when we can. For small businesses, we can talk through what access is needed and whether the job can be staged to keep the space operational. The scope and the price are settled on the call before anything is booked, so there are no decisions to make when we arrive.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM. If you are asking about a repair that cannot wait, tell us that on the call and we will tell you what the schedule allows.
On a renovation or addition, the electrical work has to happen at the right point in the sequence. Rough-in wiring goes in after framing and before insulation. Panel work and circuit additions need to be done before walls close. If the electrician is called in after drywall is up, the job gets harder and more expensive. We work with contractors and homeowners on Verona projects to make sure the electrical side is scheduled where it belongs in the build.
The most common problem is a circuit that was not accounted for until the finish stage. A kitchen renovation that adds an island, a basement finish that needs dedicated circuits for a home office, a garage build-out that needs a subpanel. Each one is straightforward when it is planned in. Each one becomes a disruption when it is added after the fact. We can scope the electrical side of a project on the call and tell you what needs to happen and when.
Electrical pricing is specific to the job. A circuit addition for a new appliance is a different scope than a panel replacement, and a grounding correction in a finished basement involves different access than the same work in an unfinished one. What the fault turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing panel has capacity for the change are the things that move a price. We do not quote a number without knowing what the job involves.
When you call, we go through the situation and give you a price for that specific job before anything is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front. If the job turns out to be more involved than the call suggested, we tell you before the scope changes, not after.
Permits are part of the picture on some jobs. Panel replacements and larger rewiring projects typically require one in Dane County. We tell you if a permit is needed and handle that side of it as part of the work.
When a job is finished, we test the circuit or the repair before we pack up. That means running the load, checking that the breaker holds, and confirming that the outlets and devices on the circuit are functioning correctly. We do not leave a job with an untested fix.
On panel work and larger circuit additions, we make sure breakers are labeled accurately. A panel with missing or incorrect labels is a real problem when a future electrician, a home inspector, or a new owner needs to find a circuit quickly. Accurate labeling is part of finishing the job properly, not an extra.
For properties that are sold or rented, documentation of the work matters. A panel that was upgraded, a circuit that was corrected, or a grounding issue that was resolved are all things a buyer or tenant may ask about. We work to the code that applies here in Wisconsin, and we can explain what was done and why when that question comes up.
A new appliance, a hot tub, or a welder or compressor in a garage workshop all need a dedicated circuit sized for the load. Adding a circuit is a clean job when the panel has capacity and the run is straightforward. It starts with a load calculation to confirm the panel can carry it, then the circuit is run and the outlet or connection point is installed. If the panel is already full, a subpanel may be the right answer. We cover both.
Grounding and bonding problems are common in older homes and do not always show up as obvious faults. An outlet that tests as ungrounded, a panel with a missing ground connection, or bonding that was never completed on a service upgrade are all situations we run into regularly. These corrections matter for safety and for passing an inspection, and we handle them as standalone jobs or as part of a larger panel or rewiring project.
A panel replacement comes up for several reasons. The panel is too old to be reliable. It has run out of space. The breakers are failing or tripping under loads they should carry. The service entrance needs to be upgraded to meet current demand. We handle the full job: load calculation, panel swap, breaker sizing, and the permit where one is required. For homes running electric heating loads alongside modern appliances and an EV charger, a 200-amp service upgrade is often the right move.
Workshop equipment puts a specific demand on a circuit that standard household wiring was not designed for. A welder or a large air compressor needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the draw, with the right breaker and the right outlet at the equipment location. Getting this right means the equipment runs without tripping the breaker and without putting stress on a circuit that is already carrying other loads. We scope these jobs on the call and confirm what the panel needs to support the circuit before we start. More of the detail sits on our list of electrical services.
Most electrical visits in a home touch the panel at some point, whether the job is a repair or an addition. Knowing where the panel is and what access looks like helps the job move faster. In many Verona homes, the panel is in the basement or the garage. In older properties, it may be in a utility room or a closet that has since been filled in around it.
Clear access to the panel makes a difference. If the panel is behind stored items, moving them before we arrive saves time on the visit. The same applies to the work area itself. We confirm what access is needed on the call so you know what to expect before we show up.
We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own. That means we work carefully, we explain what we are doing, and we leave the space the way we found it.
We serve Verona and the communities around it throughout Dane County. That includes:
If you are in Dane County and not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask. We will tell you straight.
We go through the panel, check the breakers and connections, look at the wiring in accessible areas, and test outlets and GFCI devices. We document what we find and tell you which items need attention and in what order. The visit covers the whole electrical system, not just the part that prompted the call.
We work with whoever manages the property to find a time that works. If the tenant is not available during the day, we can look at what the schedule allows in the early evening within our hours. Call and describe the situation and we will tell you what options are open.
Heat at a faceplate usually means resistance at a connection behind the device. That can come from a loose wire, a failing device, or a wiring problem in the box. It is worth treating as urgent because heat at a connection is a fire risk. Call and describe where it is and how long it has been that way.
Most repair and installation work affects only the circuit being worked on. Panel work and service upgrades require a full shutdown for at least part of the job. We tell you on the call which applies to your job and how long the shutdown is likely to last.
Panel upgrades and circuit additions in Dane County typically require a permit, and we handle that as part of the job. Before you call, it helps to know roughly how old the panel is, whether it is a breaker box or a fuse box, and what you are trying to add or fix. The more you can describe, the more accurate the scope and the price we can give you on the call.
Yes. When you call, we talk through what you are seeing, explain what the likely causes are, and tell you what a visit would involve. You decide whether to schedule based on that conversation, with no obligation.
Older homes in the area commonly have panels that were sized for a smaller electrical load than the house now carries. Grounding issues, missing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, and circuits that trip under normal use are all common findings. If you are not sure what you are dealing with, describe what you are seeing on the call and we can tell you what a visit would cover.
Not always. A panel can be replaced with one of the same amperage if the service entrance and the incoming supply are in good condition and the capacity is adequate. A service upgrade is a separate decision based on whether the home needs more capacity than it currently has. We assess both on the same visit.
Yes. We work with small businesses, landlords, and property managers throughout Verona and the surrounding area. The process is the same as for a residential job: the scope and the price are confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. If the property needs to stay operational during the work, tell us that when you call and we will work through what is possible.
