Landlords and property managers in St. Matthews deal with electrical problems on a different schedule than homeowners do. A tenant calls about a dead outlet on a Friday afternoon. An inspection flags a grounding issue before a lease renewal. A unit turns over and the next occupant wants a ceiling fan where there was none. The work has to get done without disrupting the people who live there, and it has to be scheduled around someone who is not always on site to let anyone in. We handle all of it, and the scope and price are settled on the call before anything is booked.
Residential customers in St. Matthews bring us the same range of jobs: panel upgrades, circuit additions, outlet and switch work, lighting, and the occasional full rewire on a home where the wiring has not been touched in decades. We cover this town for both.
Call (502) 826-9879 to get a quote and get the visit on the calendar.
When the property is occupied, the visit has to work around whoever is there. For rental units, we confirm access details on the call so the tenant knows what to expect and the property manager does not have to be on site to make it happen. For businesses that have to stay open, we talk through which circuits can be taken down and when, and we plan the job around the parts of the building that have to stay live.
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM, which covers the window before a business opens and the window after a tenant gets home. Short-notice work is taken when the schedule allows.
If the situation is active, a sparking outlet, a partial power loss, or a panel that is running warm, call (502) 826-9879 and we will tell you what is open.
Active electrical faults do not improve on their own. A breaker that trips under normal load, a cover plate that is warm to the touch, or a burning smell near a switch are all situations where waiting until next week is the wrong call. We take urgent work within our daily hours, and the diagnostic process starts at the symptom and works back through the circuit to find the actual cause. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
The price for electrical work depends on what the job actually involves. A single outlet replacement and a panel upgrade are not priced the same way, and neither should they be.
What moves a quote is the scope of the work: how far a circuit needs to run, whether the existing panel has capacity for the change, what has to be opened up to reach the fault, and what the fault turns out to be once it is found. Troubleshooting a flickering light might uncover a loose connection at the fixture, or it might uncover a wiring problem behind the wall that takes longer to correct. The price reflects what is actually there, not a flat guess made before anyone has looked.
When you call, we go over what you are seeing and what you need, and we give you a price before the visit is scheduled. That price covers the work as described. If the scope changes on site, we explain why before we proceed. There is no separate estimate visit for most jobs. Book the visit. Know the scope. Know the price before it starts.
Lighting calls in St. Matthews homes tend to fall into a few categories. Sometimes the fixture is old and the replacement is straightforward. More often, the job involves adding recessed lighting to a room that was never wired for it, which means running circuits, cutting boxes, and confirming the panel can carry the added load. Under-cabinet lighting in kitchens and dimmer-compatible upgrades in living rooms come up regularly, and we handle the switch wiring and the circuit work that goes with them.
Ceiling fan installation is worth doing at the same time as other lighting work in the room, especially when the box needs reinforcing or a separate switch leg needs to be added for the fan and the light. Doing it alongside an existing job saves opening the ceiling twice.
Outside, the requests are usually security lighting, motion sensor lights, and weatherproof outlets near a garage or back door. Landscape lighting circuits are a natural addition when exterior work is already underway. All of it is installed with outdoor-rated materials and correct box fill. Work in this area gets done to the code inspectors here actually enforce.
The situation that leads to this call is usually one of three things: an outlet that stopped working, a switch that was never in the right place, or a home that simply does not have enough receptacles for how it is being used. We install standard outlets, GFCI outlets, AFCI outlets, USB outlets, dimmer switches, and three-way switches. Older homes in St. Matthews often carry two-prong ungrounded receptacles that need to be brought up to current standards, and grounding and bonding are addressed as part of that work.
A detached garage or workshop that needs more than a single circuit benefits from a subpanel rather than running individual circuits all the way back to the main panel. A subpanel is fed from the main panel with a single large circuit and then distributes power locally. The result is a cleaner installation, room to add circuits later, and a panel that is sized for the actual load the space will draw.
These appliances draw enough current to require their own dedicated circuit, and the circuit has to be sized and wired correctly for the specific load. A range or wall oven typically needs a 240-volt circuit. A dryer needs the same. If the outlet is already there from a previous appliance, we verify the circuit is correctly rated before connecting anything new. If it is not there, we run it from the panel.
Recessed lighting installations involve more than cutting holes and dropping in cans. The circuit has to be sized for the number of fixtures, the junction boxes have to be correctly installed for the ceiling type, and the wiring has to be run without overloading the circuit. LED retrofits are straightforward when the existing wiring and dimmer switches are compatible, and we check that before anything goes in. Electrical service scheduled without the runaround is how we approach the booking side of these jobs. One call is enough to get the visit booked. The parts people usually ask about are covered on the full electrical services list.
Commercial and light industrial properties in St. Matthews present a different set of constraints than a residential call. The job has to be planned around operating hours, around which parts of the building can be taken offline and when, and around tenants or employees who are still working while the electrical work is happening.
We handle out-of-hours work for commercial customers when the schedule allows. For jobs that require keeping part of a site live, the plan is worked out on the call before the visit is booked. That means knowing which circuits are critical, whether the panel has room for the change, and whether any of the work needs to happen in stages. Code-compliant wiring on every job is not just a residential standard. It applies to office lighting, commercial panel upgrades, and dedicated circuits for commercial equipment alike.
Electrical safety inspections for commercial properties, code violation corrections, and wiring for tenant improvements are all part of what we take on. If a property failed an inspection, we assess what needs to be corrected and handle it as a single job.
We provide electrical service throughout St. Matthews and the communities around it. Richlawn, Norbourne Estates, Beechwood Village, Woodlawn Park, and Bellewood are all covered, along with the broader Jefferson County area.
If you are in St. Matthews or nearby and need electrical work done, call and we will confirm we cover your address. The scope and the price are settled on the call before anything is scheduled.
The documentation for commercial work reflects the scope of the job, which may include permit records, panel schedules, and inspection sign-offs depending on the type of work and the property. We discuss what documentation the job will produce when scheduling commercial work.
Older homes in this area were built when electrical loads were a fraction of what a modern household draws, and the wiring reflects that. Aluminum branch circuit wiring, knob-and-tube, and undersized panels are all common findings in homes that have not had electrical work done in decades. An inspection visit identifies what is there, what is working correctly, and what needs attention before it becomes a problem.
Cables running underground to an outbuilding need to be rated for direct burial or run through conduit at the appropriate depth. The depth and method depend on the type of cable and the local requirements that apply at the property. We confirm what is required when scoping the job.
In many cases, yes, though it requires planning. A rewire is typically staged so that some circuits remain live while others are being worked on. We discuss the sequence before the job starts so you know what to expect and which areas will be without power at each stage.
It depends on the condition of the wiring, the materials used, and whether it meets current code for outdoor installations. We assess what is there before deciding whether it can be reused, extended, or needs to be replaced. Do not assume outdoor wiring is usable just because it is intact.
Intermittent faults are approached differently from faults that are present on arrival. We check the connections, the breaker, and the circuit under load to look for conditions that would cause an intermittent failure. We explain what we found and what the likely cause is, even if the fault did not appear during the visit.
Yes, as long as access can be arranged and someone is available to confirm the work when it is done. We work out the access details on the call, including whether the tenant will be present and what the scope covers. Property managers scheduling work at occupied units should let us know when they call so we can plan the visit accordingly.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical work we handle for homes and businesses in St. Matthews and across Jefferson County. Each row covers what the service involves, who it fits best, and a practical note worth knowing before you call. If a job spans more than one category, we scope it as a single visit and confirm the price before anything starts.
| Electrical Service | What It Covers | Ideal For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | GFCI and AFCI outlet installation, Dedicated appliance outlets, Dimmer and three-way switch replacement, USB outlet upgrades | Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and any room needing additional or upgraded receptacles | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and all exterior locations. We install to what the current code requires, not just what was there before. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | 240-volt dryer and range outlets, Refrigerator and dishwasher circuits, Washer and HVAC supply circuits, Circuit sizing to appliance load | Any major appliance that draws enough current to warrant its own circuit | Sharing a circuit between a large appliance and other loads is a common cause of nuisance tripping. A dedicated circuit eliminates that problem at the source. |
