FAQ's
View the FAQ's
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.
