Kat UnderwoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to work with! Fast to respond, showed up on time and took care of the problem professionally. Very happy with their service! Anna RennickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed two bathroom fans installed in a house that never had fans. It was a huge pain trying to find someone easy to work with that I didn't have to jump through hoops to work with both an electrician and HVAC specialist at the same time. Total electric first contacted an HVAC company on my behalf and then ended up doing the work themselves. They did a really excellent job and everyone was very polite and efficient. It was a fair price, and I'm really pleased with everything! Charles WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim and his whole crew at Total Electric did a phenomenal job wiring up our entire new custom home. They met with us during the early construction phase to plan placement of all of our plugs, switches, fans, and lights. They made additional recommendations during the installation stages that turned out to be spot-on. They coordinated well with other subcontractors, especially our A/V team. The finishing touches were helping us select and install a backup generator, and wiring up a 1000 s.f. woodworking shop to perfectly match power tool placement and provide excellent lighting. They were always professional and responsive in any communications. Their work is absolutely top-drawer. it is MustiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We called Total Electric to help us with an emergency issue in our home. They answered immediately and were so kind! Our issue ended up being something that we needed to contact the power company about, but Tim and another gentleman still came out to our house to make sure that our furnace could run so that we could keep our family at home. We are so grateful for how swift they acted! Sydney LeatherberryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Will and the Total Electric team are totally awesome!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer Free Estimates?
Yes — we provide free estimates for most residential electrical projects. For larger or more complex jobs, we’ll walk you through the scope and pricing before any work begins so you can make an informed decision with no surprises.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every electrician on our team is fully licensed, insured, and trained to meet Michigan electrical codes and safety standards. Your home and family’s safety come first, always.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners throughout the greater Grand Rapids metro area, including Wayland, Ada, Byron Center, Caledonia, Moline, and neighboring communities. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call — we’re happy to help.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in my home?
For many projects — like panel upgrades, major wiring changes, or new circuits — a permit is required. Don’t worry, we handle the permitting process for you and ensure the work meets local code requirements.
Can you help with small electrical jobs, or only big projects?
We’re happy to help with projects of all sizes — from replacing a broken outlet or light switch to full home rewiring or panel replacements. No job is too small – we’re your local guys.
How quickly can you come out for service?
Many appointments can be scheduled within 24–72 hours, but sometimes we’re booked out a bit longer. If you have an urgent electrical issue or a safety concern, we do our best to provide same-day service when available.
What should I do if my breaker keeps tripping?
A tripping breaker is usually a sign of an overloaded circuit or a wiring issue. Resetting it may provide temporary relief, but if it continues, it’s important to have an electrician inspect it. It may be time to add a circuit or address a safety issue behind the walls.
Why do my lights flicker or dim when an appliance turns on?
This often happens when a large appliance (like an AC or microwave, or even a vacuum) pulls more power than the circuit can safely deliver. It could be a loose connection, aging panel, or under-sized circuit. We can diagnose the cause and recommend the safest fix.

Meet Your Local Electricians
Founded in 2008, Tim Reurink started Total Electric in Wayland, MI with a simple goal: serve his neighbors with honest work, fair pricing, and a name people could rely on. Over the years, his sons Will and Carson joined the team, turning a one-man shop into a trusted family business built on integrity and craftsmanship.
Today, the Reurinks proudly serve the greater Grand Rapids area with the same hometown values they began with —treating every home with respect, every customer like a neighbor, and every job as if it were for their own family. We’re not a big corporate outfit. We’re local, we care, and we stand behind our work—because that’s what we’d expect in our own homes.
