Electrical Services in West Des Moines

From panel upgrades to EV charger installation, our licensed electricians handle every residential and commercial electrical need.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring

We plan the new circuit layout, pull permits, run code-compliant copper wiring through your walls and attic, install a new panel if needed, and restore your walls with minimal disruption.

Indoor Lighting Installation

We remove old fixtures, upgrade the electrical box if needed, connect and mount the new fixture securely, and test dimmer compatibility so your lights perform exactly as expected.

Generator Installation

Our licensed electricians handle every step of your generator install, from sizing the unit and pouring the pad to wiring the automatic transfer switch and final testing.

Circuit Breaker Repair

A faulty circuit breaker that trips constantly or will not reset leaves your home without power and at risk. Fast professional repair restores reliable power and eliminates a potential fire hazard.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

Aging panels with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse-based systems are documented fire hazards. Our licensed electricians replace them with UL-listed equipment that meets current NEC safety standards.

Landscape Lighting Installation

Highlight your home exterior, illuminate walkways, and boost curb appeal with professionally designed landscape lighting. A well-lit property also deters intruders and prevents trips and falls.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Electrical problems often hide behind walls where they quietly worsen. Our licensed electricians follow a systematic diagnostic process to find issues before they become fire hazards or safety threats.

Outlet Installation

Our electricians locate the nearest power source, run new wiring through your walls, install the outlet box, and test the circuit to confirm safe, reliable operation.

Ceiling Fan Installation

We handle the full installation process, from securing the fan-rated electrical box and running new wiring to balancing the blades and programming remote controls.

Commercial Electrician Services

Minimize downtime and keep your business running with commercial electrical services designed for offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and restaurants. Reliable power protects your revenue and your reputation.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

Enjoy your pool or hot tub with confidence knowing the electrical system was installed safely by a licensed professional. Proper wiring prevents shock hazards and protects your family every time you swim.

Security Camera Wiring

Wireless cameras lose signal and batteries die at the worst time. Hardwired security camera systems installed by our licensed team provide continuous, tamper-resistant surveillance you can rely on day and night.

Recessed Lighting Installation

Recessed lighting installed too close to insulation or with incorrect housings is a fire risk. Our electricians use only IC-rated, airtight fixtures and verify every connection for safe operation.

Smoke Detector Installation

Battery-only smoke detectors fail when batteries die. Our electricians install hardwired units with sealed backup batteries per current code, ensuring your family is protected around the clock.

Smart Home Electrical

We install smart switches, dimmers, and outlets that work with your existing Wi-Fi network, set up automation routines, and ensure every device has the neutral wire and load capacity it requires.

EV Charger Installation

EV chargers draw significant power and require proper circuit protection. Our licensed electricians ensure your installation meets NEC code, manufacturer specs, and local requirements.

Whole House Surge Protector

Power surges destroy electronics, damage appliance control boards, and can even start fires. Our electricians install UL-listed surge protectors with proper grounding to defend your entire electrical system.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, making professional detector placement critical. Properly installed CO detectors give your family early warning before dangerous levels build up.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, causing loose connections that overheat and arc. Insurance companies increasingly refuse to cover aluminum-wired homes. Our licensed electricians eliminate the risk permanently.

Electrical Repair Services

Ignoring electrical problems lets them get worse. Loose connections, arcing wires, and overloaded circuits cause thousands of house fires each year. Our licensed team fixes issues safely, the first time.

Ring Doorbell Installation

See who is at your door from anywhere with a professionally installed Ring doorbell. Get reliable motion alerts and crystal-clear video without the DIY frustration.

Electrical Inspection

Outdated wiring, missing ground wires, and improper connections are invisible dangers in thousands of homes. Our licensed inspectors identify every safety concern and prioritize what needs attention first.

Electrical Installation Services

From new construction wiring to appliance hookups and dedicated circuits, professional electrical installation ensures everything works correctly and meets code from day one.
