Residential Electric

Whole-home wiring, panel upgrades, and the everyday fixes that keep a Maine home running.

From a single dead outlet to wiring an entire new home, residential work is the heart of what we do. We treat your house like we'd treat our own — clean work, clear pricing, and a Master Electrician on site, not a rotating crew of subs.

We serve homeowners across Westbrook, Greater Portland, and Southern Maine, handling everything from quick service calls to full renovations and additions.

What we handle

  • Panel upgrades & replacements — 100A to 400A services, fuse-box swaps, and sub-panels.
  • Whole-home & remodel wiring — Rewires, additions, kitchens, baths, and basements.
  • Outlets, switches & circuits — New circuits, GFCI/AFCI protection, and dedicated lines.
  • EV & appliance circuits — Dryer, range, hot tub, and Level 2 EV hookups.
  • Lighting & fixtures — Recessed, under-cabinet, fans, and outdoor lighting.
  • Troubleshooting & repair — Flickering lights, tripping breakers, lost power.

Older Maine homes come with their own surprises — knob-and-tube, ungrounded outlets, undersized panels. We find what's actually going on before we quote, so you're not paying for guesswork.

Every job ends the same way: tested, up to code, permits and inspection handled, and the work area cleaned up before we leave.

Frequently asked

Do I need a permit for residential electrical work?

Most circuit, panel, and rewiring work in Maine requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection as part of the job.

My breakers keep tripping — is that an emergency?

Sometimes. A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job — telling you a circuit is overloaded or faulted. If it's hot, sparking, or you smell burning, treat it as an emergency and call right away.

Can you upgrade my panel without rewiring the whole house?

Usually yes. A panel upgrade replaces the service and breakers; your existing branch circuits typically reconnect to the new panel.
