Electrical Services in Pittsburgh

Comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses — licensed, insured, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring

Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

CO detector placement matters as much as having one. Installed too high, too low, or too far from sources, they may not alarm in time. Our electricians follow manufacturer and code guidelines precisely.

Ring Doorbell Installation

Improper doorbell wiring can damage your transformer or void your warranty. Our electricians verify voltage, test connections, and ensure your Ring operates safely and reliably.

Circuit Breaker Repair

Breakers that trip repeatedly are warning you of a serious problem. Forcing them back on risks fire or electrocution. Our electricians safely diagnose whether the issue is the breaker, the wiring, or an overload.

Outlet Installation

Add outlets exactly where you need them and eliminate extension cord clutter. New outlets improve convenience, reduce fire hazards, and increase your home value.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

An upgraded electrical panel supports modern power demands, prevents tripped breakers, and can increase your home value. Stop managing an overloaded system and power your home with confidence.

Electrical Installation Services

From new construction wiring to appliance hookups and dedicated circuits, professional electrical installation ensures everything works correctly and meets code from day one.

Landscape Lighting Installation

We design a custom layout, install a weatherproof transformer, run buried low-voltage cable to each fixture location, and program timers or photocells for effortless automated operation.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

We carefully remove aluminum branch circuit wiring, pull new copper conductors through your existing pathways, terminate every connection at outlets, switches, and the panel, and restore your walls.

Electrical Inspection

An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.

Ceiling Fan Installation

We handle the full installation process, from securing the fan-rated electrical box and running new wiring to balancing the blades and programming remote controls.

Security Camera Wiring

Professionally wired security cameras deliver reliable 24/7 recording without Wi-Fi dropouts or battery hassles. Protect your home and family with a surveillance system you can count on.

Whole House Surge Protector

A whole-house surge protector shields every appliance, device, and electronic system in your home from voltage spikes. One device at the panel protects thousands of dollars in equipment.

EV Charger Installation

EV chargers draw significant power and require proper circuit protection. Our licensed electricians ensure your installation meets NEC code, manufacturer specs, and local requirements.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

Water and electricity are a deadly combination. Pool and hot tub wiring requires GFCI protection, proper bonding of all metal surfaces, and specific clearance distances. Our electricians follow NEC Article 680 to the letter.

Electrical Troubleshooting

We use thermal imaging, multimeters, and circuit analyzers to trace faults through your wiring, identify the exact failure point, and recommend the most cost-effective repair.

Electrical Repair Services

Ignoring electrical problems lets them get worse. Loose connections, arcing wires, and overloaded circuits cause thousands of house fires each year. Our licensed team fixes issues safely, the first time.

Smart Home Electrical

Smart devices need proper wiring to function reliably. Many older homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes, causing flickering or device failure. Our electricians verify and upgrade wiring so your smart home works right.

Recessed Lighting Installation

We map out fixture placement for optimal light coverage, cut precise ceiling openings, run new circuits as needed, and install IC-rated housings that are safe for insulated ceilings.

Commercial Electrician Services

Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.

Smoke Detector Installation

Working smoke detectors cut your risk of dying in a home fire nearly in half. Hardwired, interconnected units alert your entire household the moment smoke is detected anywhere.

Indoor Lighting Installation

Heavy chandeliers, track lighting, and pendant fixtures require properly rated electrical boxes and secure mounting. Our electricians ensure every installation is safe, level, and wired correctly.

Generator Installation

Our licensed electricians handle every step of your generator install, from sizing the unit and pouring the pad to wiring the automatic transfer switch and final testing.
