How to Choose an Electrician in Racine, WI

Licensing and code in Racine

The city issues electrical permits only to properly licensed electrical contractors, so the license comes first on every job. Everything we install, from a single circuit to a full panel, is built to that standard.

What goes into our written quote

If the job changes the electrical service, Racine's rewire ordinance can apply, and that means more than swapping the service equipment. Our quote lists the service work and any wiring that has to be brought up to code as separate lines, so you can see which part is which. For troubleshooting calls, a diagnostic typically runs $100-$350. We can give you a typical range on the phone, and we confirm the exact number once we've seen the job.

Protection and circuits we add

Depending on the room and the work, code calls for added protection, and we price it into the job. That means GFCI protection on kitchen, bath, garage, laundry and exterior receptacles, and AFCI protection on the required living-area branch circuits. If you want an EV charger, we pull a dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically 40-50 amps. An electric range gets its own dedicated 240-volt circuit too. These are separate line items, so you can see what each one adds.

Getting started

Call us with what you're seeing or what you want added, and we'll give you a typical range right away. We then come out, look at the panel and the circuits involved, and send a written quote with the exact figure.
