Licensed Electrician Serving Maumelle, AR

A few things point pretty clearly toward a panel replacement. Breakers that trip frequently under normal loads, a panel that runs warm to the touch, lights that dim noticeably when an appliance kicks on, or a fuse box that hasn't been updated in decades are all signs that the system is either undersized or aging out. Homes that still run on 100-amp service also tend to reach capacity quickly once you factor in modern appliances, a home office, and EV charging. We provide every home with a complimentary electrical safety check when we arrive for a service call, and that assessment includes the panel's condition.

Yes. We serve Maumelle and the rest of central Arkansas, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Benton, Bryant, Mayflower, Jacksonville, and communities south toward Pine Bluff. If you're not sure whether your address falls within our service area, call us, and we'll confirm quickly.

A standby generator (like a Generac unit) is permanently installed at your home, wired to a transfer switch, and starts automatically when the power goes out. You don't have to be home for it to work. A portable generator with an interlock kit uses a generator you already own. The interlock connects it safely to your panel so you can power selected circuits without risk of backfeeding the grid. Both are code-compliant options. The right choice depends on your budget, how often your area loses power, and whether you want a fully automatic backup or a manual one. We can walk you through the pros and cons before any work starts.

Every person performing electrical work in your home holds an Arkansas state license issued by the Arkansas Department of Labor. Licensing requires completing 8,000 hours of apprenticeship and passing a state certification exam. We also stay current on NEC 2020 as adopted in Arkansas and the specific permit requirements for Pulaski County and surrounding jurisdictions. When we pull a permit, we schedule and pass the required inspection before the job is closed out.

It installs at your main electrical panel and monitors for voltage spikes from any source, including lightning strikes, utility switching events, and large appliances cycling on and off. Everything downstream of the panel gets protection: your HVAC system, refrigerator, washer and dryer, computers, televisions, and anything else plugged into an outlet in the house. Individual power strips only protect the devices plugged into them. Whole-home protection covers the full electrical system in one shot.

We install Level 2 EV chargers throughout Maumelle and the surrounding area. Most homes need a dedicated 240-volt circuit run to the garage or driveway, and, depending on the panel's current capacity, a panel upgrade may be necessary first. We assess both during the initial visit. Entergy Arkansas currently offers a $500 rebate on qualifying EV charger installations, and we walk customers through that process. We install from brands including ChargePoint, Eaton, and JuiceBox.

You can depend on our team for the following additional services:

• Generac Standby Generator Installation — Standby generators come on automatically when the power goes out. We handle Generac installations, transfer switch wiring, and the inspection process from start to finish. (Note: We don't service gas engine components or do engine repair, but we handle all the wiring and electrical work.)
• Portable Generator Interlocks — If you already have a portable generator, an interlock kit is a code-compliant way to connect it to your panel safely. No backfeed risk, no complicated setup.
• GFCI Outlets — Required near water sources by code and genuinely protective. We install and replace GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations.
• Outlets and Switches — Dead outlets, switches that buzz or spark, circuits that trip under normal use. We diagnose and fix these fast.
• Smart Home Installations — Smart doorbells, cameras, and connected switches all need proper wiring to work right. We handle the electrical side of smart home upgrades.
• Landscape and Patio Lighting — Outdoor lighting for patios, gazebos, and sheds adds both function and curb appeal. We wire it to code and make it look clean.
• Hot Tub, Spa, and Pool Electrical — These installations require dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and permits. We handle the full scope.

Start by checking whether your neighbors have power, since a utility outage is the most common cause, and no electrical work is needed. If the outage is isolated to your home, check the main breaker at the panel. A tripped main breaker will sit between the ON and OFF positions. If you reset it and it trips again immediately, stop there and call us. A breaker that won't hold after a reset usually points to a short circuit, an overloaded panel, or a failing breaker. Don't keep resetting it. We provide emergency electrical service throughout Maumelle and will get someone out to assess the situation.
