Decorah's trusted source for licensed electrical services — from outlet repairs to full panel upgrades, done right the first time.
Whether it's a simple outlet repair or a complex commercial build-out, our electricians deliver professional results every time.
Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.
Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.
Our electricians diagnose the root cause of the problem, explain the repair before starting, fix the issue with commercial-grade materials, and test the circuit to confirm a lasting solution.
Charge your electric vehicle overnight at home and wake up with a full battery every morning. A Level 2 charger delivers up to 10x faster charging than a standard outlet.
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.
We install hardwired CO detectors at code-required locations near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances, interconnect them with your smoke alarm system, and verify operation with professional testing equipment.
We use thermal imaging, multimeters, and circuit analyzers to trace faults through your wiring, identify the exact failure point, and recommend the most cost-effective repair.
Ceiling fans involve heavy fixtures and live wiring above your head. Our licensed electricians ensure every connection is secure, every mount is load-rated, and every fan runs safely.
An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.
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.

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.
Electrical installations done without permits or by unlicensed workers put your family at risk and can void your insurance. Our licensed electricians deliver code-compliant, inspected work on every job.
