24-hour emergency repairs: Home electrical repair may be needed on an emergency basis. We provide 24/7 emergency service utilizing an electronic emergency dispatch system that gets us to you fast, and gets your problem fixed as rapidly as is possible, by bonded technicians. If you need a reoccurring problem quickly diagnosed and efficiently fixed, we are your first choice. Call us any time, day or night, weekday or weekend and holidays.
Commercial electrician: Our staff is thoroughly trained and consistently re-trained in commercial projects such as installation of fire alarms; security system installation; high-voltage projects; utility vaults; lighting improvements (interior and exterior); site work; electrical finishing work; or electrical preparation for HVAC.
  • We have several bucket trucks for aerial projects from small trucks providing 45 feet working height to 110 feet capacity vehicles. We provide a 25-ton crane truck capable of putting heavy equipment on a roof, installing site lighting or delivering power distribution equipment.
  • For construction site boring and trenching: Our fleet includes a trencher/borer; pressure digger and a large excavator. We can also bring to the job a front loader and a 20-ton dump truck.

Data/Comm: We have established our firm as a leading provider of specialized cabling for telephone and computer systems; voice, data and video design and installation; with documentation and maintenance of EIA/TIA standards-based structured premise cabling systems. We install and troubleshoot IT and other cabling. Diagnosis, design and installation are included in our full service data/comm division.
  • In addition, our industrial and commercial wiring services include building wiring, machine wiring, overhead and underground cabling and high voltage work.

We install home generators that will provide emergency power for days. We sell, install and service the top of the line Kohler units, that provide clean, quiet backup power when you need it most. When the power goes out or when there is an emergency, you will still be able to use essential appliances such as air conditioning, heating, refrigerators and lights.
There are good reasons to convert your fuse panel to a circuit breaker. Fuses are old technology that can be dangerous. Circuit breakers are safer to reset: you never touch any live electric parts. Your fuse panel is obsolete. We specialize in converting electrical systems from fuses to circuit breakers.

We are locally owned, and family operated.
