Planning an addition, finishing a basement, or adding a major appliance to a home in Sellersburg takes more than picking out fixtures and calling a contractor. The electrical side has to be figured out first: what the panel can carry, whether the existing wiring is up to the load, and which circuits need to be added or upgraded before anything else goes in. We handle that planning work alongside the repair calls, and we cover both residential and commercial properties throughout Sellersburg and Clark County.
We take on the full range of electrical work, from tracing a fault that knocked out a room to running new circuits for a renovation that is still weeks from completion.
Call (502) 826-9879 to get a quote and find out what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
Knowing what you will pay before a visit starts matters, and the way to get there is a conversation about what the job actually involves. When you call, we ask about the symptoms or the scope, and we give you a price before anything is booked.
What changes a quote is what the job turns out to require once we are on site. If reaching a fault means opening a wall, or if the existing panel does not have room for the circuit the job calls for, that affects the scope. A panel that is already running near capacity may need an upgrade before a new circuit can be added. A circuit run that looks short on the phone may turn out to be longer once we see the layout. Those things are explained before any additional work begins, and the price is confirmed before we proceed.
We do not charge for estimates that never turn into work, and we do not promise what the final bill will not contain. What we do promise is that the price is settled before the work starts, and that any change in scope is explained on the spot.
Most calls in a town like Sellersburg fall into a recognizable set of situations. Older homes on original wiring, additions that were wired by the previous owner, outbuildings that need power, and appliances that have outgrown the circuit they are on. Here is what those situations typically call for.
A refrigerator, a dryer, a range, or a dishwasher each draws enough current to warrant its own circuit. Sharing a circuit with other devices is how breakers start tripping under normal use. We run the circuit from the panel to the appliance location, install the correct receptacle, and confirm the panel has capacity for the load. For 240-volt appliances like dryers and ranges, the wiring and the outlet both have to match what the unit requires.
Ground-fault protection is required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior outlets. Arc-fault protection applies to bedroom circuits and, in current code, to most living areas in new work. Older homes often have neither, and adding them is straightforward when the outlet or breaker is accessible. We install both where the job calls for it and explain what each one does and why it matters.
A dead outlet, a switch that stopped responding, a three-way setup that was wired wrong, or a location where no outlet exists yet are all calls we handle. We install standard outlets, GFCI and AFCI devices, dimmer switches, USB outlets, and three-way and four-way switch configurations. When an outlet feels warm or shows discoloration, that is a fault in the wiring behind it, not just a worn device, and we trace it rather than swap the cover and move on.
Low-voltage work comes up during renovations and additions, when walls are open and the right time to run data lines, doorbell wiring, or speaker rough-in is before the drywall goes back up. We handle the rough-in and the connections, and we coordinate the low-voltage side with whatever finish work is happening around it.
Existing Wiring That Does Not Match What It Should
Sellersburg has housing stock that covers a wide range of eras, and not all of it was wired by people who knew what they were doing. When we open a panel or pull a box and find work that was done without permits, with the wrong materials, or in a way that does not match current standards, we explain what we found and what the options are.
Some of it can be corrected in place: a mis-wired outlet, a missing ground connection, a breaker that was installed backwards. Some of it has to come out. Aluminum branch circuit wiring, for example, requires specific devices and connection methods that standard hardware does not satisfy. Knob-and-tube wiring was not designed for the loads a modern household puts on it and was installed without a ground conductor. Whether it gets corrected or replaced depends on its condition, what it is being asked to carry, and what the inspection record looks like.
We do not make a drama of finding problems. We tell you what is there, what the risk is, and what it takes to address it. Code-compliant wiring on every job is what we leave behind, which means we do not patch over something that needs to come out. The specifics for a job like this are on the page that lists our electrical services.
Appointment Arrangements in Sellersburg
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM. That window covers early calls before a workday starts and evening calls after work. When you call, we confirm what the schedule allows and book the visit before we hang up.
For problems that will not keep, active faults get priority within those hours. A partial power loss, an outlet that is sparking, or a panel that is running warm are situations where waiting is not the right answer.
Call (502) 826-9879 and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you what the schedule allows for short-notice work.
For businesses and rental properties that need to stay operational, we work around what the tenant or the business requires. That means confirming the timing on the call and being clear about which circuits will be affected and for how long. Electrical service scheduled without the runaround is what we aim for, whether the job is a single outlet or a full panel replacement.
Vacant units and rental properties between tenants are the easiest time to do electrical work that would otherwise mean coordinating around someone's schedule. There is no furniture to move, no tenant to notify, and no business hours to work around. If a rental property in Sellersburg needs a panel inspection, a GFCI update, or a circuit added before the next occupant moves in, that window is the right time to get it done.
Access is straightforward to arrange when nobody is living in the space. Landlords and property managers call us, describe what needs to happen, and we confirm the scope and the price on the call. We show up ready to wire, and the work is completed and tested before the unit goes back on the market. If an inspection turned up code violations that need to be corrected before a lease can be signed, we handle that as a single job.
Electrical Needs That Do Not Stop at the Town Line
We cover Sellersburg and the surrounding communities throughout Clark County. If you are in Clarksville, Jeffersonville, Charlestown, Memphis, or New Albany, the same process applies: call, describe the job, get a price, and book the visit.
An EV charger or a hot tub often means checking the panel first, and that is true whether the property is in Sellersburg or anywhere else in the area we cover. The regional climate brings severe thunderstorms and ice storms that can knock out power for extended periods, which is why backup generator hookups and whole-home surge protection come up as often as they do across this part of Indiana. We handle the wiring, the transfer switch, and the panel connection for generator hookups, and we install panel-mounted surge protection that covers every circuit in the house.
If you are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask. We will confirm it on the call.
Older homes in Sellersburg often carry wiring that was sized for a much lighter load than a modern household puts on it. Panels that were adequate decades ago may not have room for the circuits a renovation or a new appliance requires, and older wiring materials like aluminum branch wiring or knob-and-tube may need to be addressed before new work can be added. When you call, describing the age of the home and what you are trying to add helps us scope the job accurately on the phone.
A home inspection finding about wiring is a starting point, not a diagnosis. Home inspectors identify visible concerns and flag them for further evaluation. We assess what the inspector identified and explain what it means in practical terms, what needs to be corrected, and what the correction involves.
Not always. A panel replacement swaps out the existing equipment for a new panel of the same or similar capacity. A service upgrade increases the capacity of the service entering the property. Sometimes the two happen together, but they are separate decisions. We explain which is needed and why when we assess the panel.
If the fault is in the device rather than the circuit, replacing the device is the fix. We test the circuit before replacing a fitting to confirm the wiring is sound. If the wiring behind it is also faulty, we address that as part of the same visit.
Yes. We cover Sellersburg and the surrounding communities in Clark County, including Clarksville, Jeffersonville, Charlestown, Memphis, and New Albany.
Call (502) 826-9879 and give us the address.
We will confirm coverage and go over the scope on the same call.
Yes. Outlet placement, under-cabinet lighting circuits, and appliance circuits need to be roughed in before cabinets go in, because the wiring runs behind finished surfaces. Coordinating the electrical work before the installers start avoids cutting into new cabinetry later. We can discuss the sequence when you call.
We confirm the access plan when scheduling. A vacant property needs a point of contact who can provide access and authorize the work. We discuss what is needed on the call so the visit is not delayed by a locked door or an unclear authorization.
Call (502) 826-9879 and describe what you need.
We will ask about the symptoms, the age of the panel, and what the job involves. By the end of the call, you will know the price, what the visit covers, and when we can be there. Book the visit. Know the scope. Know the price before it starts.

| Electrical Service | What It Covers | Ideal For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | Dead outlets and partial power loss, Flickering or dimming lights, Sparking or warm receptacles, GFCI and AFCI fault tracing | Any home or business with an active electrical fault | A warm cover plate or burning smell near a switch is a reason to call right away, not something to put off. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, Fuse box replacement, Subpanel installation, Load calculation and grounding | Homes adding major appliances, EV chargers, or running on outdated service | Panel upgrades are permit-required work. We handle the permit process as part of the job so the installation is inspected to current code. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | Breaker that won't hold a reset, Fuse box assessment, Double-tapped breaker correction, Circuit continuity testing | Older homes still on fuse service or panels with repeated tripping | A breaker that trips under normal load is signaling an underlying fault. Resetting it repeatedly without tracing the cause can worsen the problem. |
