When something stops working in a Newark home or building, the first call should get you a real answer: what the problem likely is, what a fix involves, and what it will cost before anyone shows up. That is how we work. We handle residential and commercial electrical calls across Newark and Licking County, from a single dead outlet to a full panel replacement, and the price is confirmed on the phone before anything is scheduled.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
Call (380) 289-2878 and describe what you are seeing.
We take the call, scope the job, and get it on the schedule.
The rate for any electrical job depends on what the work actually turns out to be. That sounds obvious, but it is worth saying plainly: a quote given over the phone is based on what you describe, and the two things most likely to change it are what we find when we open things up and what the existing panel or circuit can carry.
A straightforward outlet replacement on a circuit that is healthy and accessible is one job. The same outlet on a run that traces back to a panel with no room and aluminum wiring that needs attention at every connection point is a different job. We walk through that on the call, ask the right questions, and give you a rate that reflects what the work actually involves. If something changes once we are on site, that conversation happens before the work continues.
Getting a price is simple.
Call (380) 289-2878, describe the situation, and you will have a number before we book the visit.
Newark's housing stock covers a wide range, from older homes on original wiring to newer construction and commercial buildings with their own demands. The jobs below come up regularly, and each one starts from a real situation rather than a line on a menu.
Older homes in this area were sometimes wired with aluminum branch-circuit conductors rather than copper. Aluminum is not unsafe by itself, but it behaves differently at connection points: it expands and contracts more than copper, and connections that were fine at installation can loosen over time. The fix is not always a full rewire. In many cases, the right approach is treating every connection point with the correct method and materials so the system is stable. We assess what is there first and explain the options before any work starts.
A safety inspection makes sense before a home sale, after storm or flood damage, or when a property has had work done over the years that nobody fully documented. We go through the panel, the wiring, the outlets, and the grounding, note what is working and what needs attention, and put it in writing. That report matters when a buyer's inspector shows up or when a landlord needs to confirm a unit is ready for a new tenant.
The region sees regular thunderstorm activity, and the voltage events that come with it are not always dramatic enough to notice but can still degrade appliances and electronics over time. A panel-level surge protector covers every circuit in the building at once, which a power strip cannot do. Installation is straightforward and the protection it adds is real. We confirm the grounding is solid as part of the same visit.
Lighting calls cover a wide range. Recessed lighting in a living room or kitchen, LED fixture replacement, under-cabinet lighting, and exterior security lighting are all jobs we handle. The wiring side is where it gets specific: a new fixture on an existing circuit is one thing, and running a new circuit for a room that has never had the right coverage is another. We scope the difference on the call and confirm the panel can carry what is being added.
A ceiling fan that goes in where a light fixture was requires a box rated for a fan's weight and movement, and often a new circuit if the existing switch leg cannot carry a separate fan and light control. We handle the wiring, the box swap if needed, and the installation itself. If the ceiling has never had a fan and there is no existing wiring for one, we run the circuit from the panel and confirm the load calculation before pulling wire.
Getting an electrician out should not mean rearranging the week around a narrow window. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM, which covers most working schedules without requiring a full day off. When you call, we confirm what the current schedule allows and find a time that works.
For calls that cannot wait, we take short-notice work when the schedule allows. A partial power loss, a breaker that will not reset, or a burning smell near a panel are situations worth calling about right away. Describe what is happening and we will tell you what the schedule can accommodate.
For businesses and rentals that need to stay operational, we work around what the property requires. If the job can be staged so certain circuits stay live, or if the work needs to happen outside regular business hours, that is a conversation to have on the call before the visit is booked.
Adding an EV charger, a new appliance circuit, a workshop subpanel, or a dedicated circuit for a sump pump all start with the same question: does the existing service have room for it. A panel that is already near capacity cannot simply absorb a new 240-volt circuit without a load calculation first.
We run the numbers before pulling wire. A load calculation looks at what the panel is already carrying, what the new circuit will draw, and whether the service entrance can handle the combined demand. If the panel has room, the circuit goes in. If it does not, the options are a panel upgrade, a subpanel for the area being served, or a service-entrance upgrade that brings the available capacity up to what the property actually needs.
A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the charger's draw. The circuit runs from the main panel or, where the garage is served by a subpanel, from there. We handle the panel assessment, the circuit run, and the outlet or hardwire connection. Where a subpanel is the right answer for a garage or workshop, we size it for the current load and leave room for what might be added later.
When a job is complete, the panel is labeled correctly, the circuits are documented, and the work is explained before we leave. That matters more than it might seem. A panel with unlabeled breakers is a problem for the next electrician who works on the property, and it is a problem for a home inspector who has to account for every circuit.
For jobs that involve code corrections, we note what was found, what was corrected, and what the work covers. That documentation is what a buyer's inspector or a property manager needs when the question comes up later. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, and part of that is making sure the next person who opens the panel can read what is there. If you would rather read than call, the list of electrical services we handle has the detail.
Some electrical problems do not announce themselves. A breaker that trips under load but holds fine at rest. A circuit that fails only when it rains. Lights that flicker in one room without any pattern that points to a clear cause. These intermittent faults are their own category of diagnostic work.
Finding them takes more than a visual check. It means testing under load, checking connections that look fine but are not, and sometimes tracing a circuit back further than the symptom suggests. When you call and describe something that comes and goes, we ask the right questions to narrow the possibilities before the visit. The diagnosis is part of the job, and the rate covers it. Call and we will get you back to full power.
We cover Newark and the surrounding Licking County communities, including Heath, Granville, Newark Township, Madison Township, and Newton Township. Residential calls, rental properties, and commercial buildings across this area are all within our regular schedule.
When you call, a real person answers. That person knows the trade, can scope the job on the phone, and can confirm availability without a callback. You get the rate before the visit is booked, and the work is done to the standard the next inspection expects.
Older homes in Newark often have wiring, panels, or grounding configurations that were installed to a different standard than current code requires. That does not always mean a full rewire, but it does mean an inspection matters before adding circuits or making changes. We assess what is there on the visit and explain what the work involves before anything starts.
Outdoor lighting runs on a circuit from the main panel or a subpanel, routed through conduit buried at the correct depth or run overhead depending on the layout. Low-voltage landscape lighting uses a transformer, but line-voltage outdoor fixtures require a proper circuit with weatherproof fittings and correct grounding.
A second Level 2 charger requires its own dedicated circuit, and we confirm whether the panel has the capacity to support both before the second circuit is run. If the panel is already carrying a full load, a service upgrade or load management arrangement may be needed, and we scope that on the call.
After any correction work, we test the affected circuits and any connected devices to confirm the fault is resolved. If the original problem involved a safety concern, we verify the condition that created it has been addressed before we leave.
An electrical inspection before listing gives you a clear picture of what a buyer's inspector is likely to find. Correcting GFCI and AFCI gaps, replacing damaged outlets and faceplates, and addressing any panel issues ahead of time avoids renegotiation after an offer is made. Call us and we will scope an inspection and any corrections together.
Yes. We work with property managers and business owners across Newark and Licking County on outlet and switch upgrades, lighting, dedicated circuits, panel work, and code corrections. Commercial calls have their own scheduling considerations, and we work around what the property needs. Call and describe the situation and we will scope the visit from there.
Not fully, but we need a clear path through the areas where wiring will be run or accessed. If the attic is heavily stored, clearing a lane to the work area before we arrive speeds the job. We will tell you what access is needed when we scope the visit.
We cover Heath, Granville, Newark Township, Madison Township, Newton Township, and the surrounding Licking County area. The same scheduling and pricing process applies regardless of which community the property is in.
Call (380) 289-2878 and we will confirm availability for your address.
Yes. If multiple properties on the same street lose power simultaneously, the fault is almost certainly on the utility's distribution line rather than inside your home. We confirm that on the call and advise you to contact the utility directly. If your property is the only one affected, the fault is on the property side and we come out to trace it.
Call (380) 289-2878 from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM, any day of the week.
Describe the job and you will have a rate before anything is scheduled. We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work across Newark and Licking County. You schedule it. We power it. Simple as that.
The job is done properly and left tidy. That is what every call is for.

Most electrical problems in Newark, Licking County show up as a symptom first: a breaker that won't stay reset, an outlet that stopped working, lights that flicker when the heat kicks on. The table below maps out the work we handle, who each service fits best, and what is practical to know before you call. If you have questions about a specific job, the rate and the scope are both confirmed on the phone before anything is scheduled.
| Service | What the Job Involves | When You Need It | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Homeowners adding a major appliance, finishing a basement, or building out a workshop | Sump pump circuits are a practical need in this part of Ohio. We size and run them so the pump has reliable power when it is needed most. |
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades |
| Homes with a 100-amp panel, frequent tripping, or plans to add an EV charger or major appliance | A panel sized for a 1970s home was not designed for today's electrical load. A service upgrade removes the capacity constraint and gives the home room to grow. |
| Older-Home Rewiring |
| Owners of older Newark, Licking County homes with wiring that does not meet current code | We identify what needs correction, explain the options, and confirm the scope and rate before any rewire work starts. |
