Residential and commercial electrical work in Gainesville: panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting, EV chargers, generators, outlets and emergency repair. Fixed price before we start.

Air conditioning load is the quiet stress test on Gainesville electrical systems. A service that coped fine for years starts dimming lights on compressor start-up, and that is usually the first sign the panel or the service entrance needs attention.

★★★★★Flickering lights we had lived with for two years. Loose lug at the panel. Twenty minutes to find, and now I wonder what else we just got used to.

★★★★★Smart switches and wiring for cameras and a video doorbell. He set up the app and made sure it all worked before leaving instead of handing me a manual.

For common jobs — an outlet, a fan, a GFCI, a breaker swap — yes, often on the first call. For panels, rewires, EV chargers and anything involving the service entrance, we need eyes on it, because a phone quote on those is a guess and guesses turn into surprise invoices.
