Your Lights Work, Your Family's Safe

You flip the switch and the lights come on. Your outlets power what you need them to power. Your electrical panel isn’t making strange noises or giving off that metallic smell that makes your stomach drop.

That’s what normal feels like. When your electrical system works the way it should, you don’t think about it. You just live your life.

But when something goes wrong—when you’re dealing with flickering lights, tripping breakers, or that burning smell that sends you into panic mode—you need someone who understands that this isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a safety issue that needs to be fixed right.

What should I do if I smell burning or see sparks from an outlet?

Turn off the power to that area immediately at your electrical panel if you can do so safely. Don’t touch the outlet or try to unplug anything from it. If you can’t safely access your electrical panel, leave the area and call us right away.Burning smells and sparks usually indicate serious wiring problems that can lead to electrical fires.

Even if the smell goes away or the sparking stops, the underlying issue is still there and needs professional attention.We’ve handled hundreds of these emergencies in Brookfield over the past 25 years. The key is getting professional help quickly before a small problem becomes a dangerous situation.

Do you install EV charger circuits for electric vehicles?

Yes, we install dedicated circuits for EV chargers. Most electric vehicle chargers require 240-volt circuits, which means running new wiring from your electrical panel to wherever you want the charger installed.We’ll assess your current electrical panel to make sure it can handle the additional load, install the proper circuit with appropriate safety features, and make sure everything meets local electrical codes. Many Brookfield homes need panel upgrades to safely support EV charging along with their existing electrical needs.The installation typically involves running new wiring, installing the appropriate outlet or hardwired connection, and ensuring proper grounding and safety features. We handle the entire process so you can charge your vehicle safely and efficiently.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

If your breakers trip frequently, you don’t have enough outlets for your needs, or your panel is more than 20-30 years old, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Many Brookfield homes still have older panels that weren’t designed to handle modern electrical demands.Signs that indicate you need a panel upgrade include: lights dimming when appliances turn on, having to use extension cords regularly because you don’t have enough outlets, burning smells around the electrical panel, or rust and corrosion on the panel components.Modern electrical panels provide better safety features, more reliable power distribution, and the capacity to handle today’s electrical needs. We can assess your current panel and explain whether an upgrade would benefit your home’s safety and functionality.
