During the service call, our electrician uses professional-grade tools and materials to complete your electrical work safely and efficiently.

After completing the work, we test all systems to verify proper operation and clean up our work area.

Most electrical work in Hattiesburg requires a permit from the city's building department. This includes panel upgrades, new circuits, outlet additions, and major electrical installations. Our licensed electricians handle all permit applications and ensure your electrical work meets local code requirements. Minor repairs, such as replacing outlets or switches, typically don't require permits; however, we'll advise you on the permit requirements for your specific project.

Electrical panels typically last 25-40 years, but you should consider upgrading sooner if you experience frequent breaker trips, use extension cords regularly, or live in a home built before 1990. Older panels may not meet current safety standards or provide adequate power for modern electrical demands. Our electricians can assess your panel and recommend whether an upgrade is necessary for both safety and improved functionality.

Flickering lights can indicate several electrical issues, from loose connections to overloaded circuits. In older Hattiesburg homes, flickering often results from outdated wiring or electrical panels that can't handle modern electrical loads. Weather-related power fluctuations are also common in Mississippi.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets protect against electrical shock by shutting off power when they detect ground faults.

Knob and tube wiring, common in homes built before 1950, poses safety risks and doesn't meet current electrical codes. This outdated wiring system lacks proper grounding and can overheat when subjected to excessive loading. If your Hattiesburg home has knob and tube wiring, it should be replaced with a modern electrical system. Our electricians specialize in safely and efficiently rewiring older homes
