Seeing flickering lights or a warm outlet? Those symptoms are worth taking seriously. A flickering light can mean a loose connection at the fixture, a failing breaker, or a wiring fault further up the circuit. A warm outlet or a burning smell near a receptacle points to a problem that does not get better on its own.
When we trace a fault, we test the circuit from the panel out, identify where the failure is, and explain what is causing it before any repair work begins. That includes checking GFCI and AFCI protection where it applies, both of which are required in specific locations under current code and are often missing in older homes. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, so nothing happens without your understanding of what it involves and why.
Dead outlets, a breaker that trips every time the microwave runs, half the house losing power after a storm - these are all jobs we handle regularly in this area. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
An older panel is not always a crisis, but it becomes one when the load it carries outpaces what it was built to handle. Frequent tripping, breakers that will not reset, a 100-amp service feeding a home that now runs central air and a fast-charger - these are signs the electrical service needs a closer look.
We handle 100-amp to 200-amp upgrades and full service-entrance replacements. Before any panel work is scoped, we do a load calculation to understand what the home or building is actually drawing and what the new service needs to carry. Dedicated circuits for dryers, refrigerators, and the supply circuit feeding an air conditioning unit often get added at the same time, since the panel is already open and the capacity is being reconfigured.
Local permit rules decide which electrical jobs need an inspection. Panel replacements and service upgrades almost always fall into that category, and we handle the work to the standard the next inspection expects. One call is enough to get the visit booked.
The homes and wiring in this area have their own quirks, and that shapes what a straightforward outlet or lighting job actually involves. A 1920s row house in Easton may have two-prong ungrounded receptacles throughout. A mid-century ranch may have original switches that have never been replaced. Getting the job done right means understanding what is behind the wall before the new device goes in.
We install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations where code requires them, and AFCI breakers where the panel and circuit call for it. Weatherproof outdoor receptacles, dimmer switches, and USB-integrated outlets are all straightforward add-ons once the circuit is confirmed to support them.
For lighting, we handle recessed fixture installation, under-cabinet lighting, fixture replacements, and exterior security and landscape lighting. Ceiling fan installation includes wiring the box to carry the load, not just swapping the fixture - a detail that matters when the existing box was rated for a light only.
The scope of the electrical work is priced before it starts, so there are no questions about what the visit covers. Call us and we'll walk you through the fix.
Easton's housing stock runs older than most of Pennsylvania, and the region's storm seasons and growing EV adoption add two more layers of electrical work that come up constantly here. The three services below reflect what this area actually needs.
Knob-and-tube wiring was standard construction through the mid-twentieth century, and it turns up regularly in Easton's older homes. The conductors themselves may still be intact, but the insulation surrounding them dries out and cracks over decades, and the system was never designed to carry the loads a modern household puts on it. There are no grounds, no protection for today's appliances, and no path to adding circuits safely without addressing the underlying wiring.
Aluminum branch wiring is a separate issue, most common in homes built between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. The problem is not the wire itself but what happens at the connections: aluminum expands and contracts at a different rate than the devices it connects to, which creates heat at the termination points over time. Remediation ranges from replacing the devices with aluminum-rated receptacles and switches to full rewiring, depending on what the inspection finds.
We assess the scope on the first visit and explain what the options are before any work is scheduled.
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, the same voltage as a dryer or range. The job involves running that circuit from the panel to the charger location, confirming the panel has the capacity to carry the added load, and mounting the charging unit. If the panel is already near capacity, that conversation happens on the phone before the visit is booked.
EV adoption in this part of Pennsylvania has grown steadily, and a Level 2 charger makes a real difference in daily convenience compared to a standard 120-volt outlet. The electrical work is straightforward when the panel has room. We confirm what yours can handle and price the circuit accordingly.
The electrical side of a generator hookup is the transfer switch and the circuits it protects. A transfer switch isolates the home from the utility line when the generator is running, which is what makes the setup safe for both the household and anyone working on the lines outside. We assess the load, install the transfer switch, and connect the generator inlet.
Nor'easters and ice storms knock out power in this region every winter, sometimes for days. The work is scoped on the call so you know what the installation involves before we schedule anything.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that applies to the jobs in this section as much as any other. Dedicated circuits, surge protection, and safety inspections are not emergency calls, but they matter.
A dedicated circuit gives a single appliance its own breaker and its own run of wire from the panel. Refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, sump pumps, and basement circuits for finished spaces all benefit from having their own circuit rather than sharing one. A sump pump that trips a shared breaker during a heavy rain is a problem with a straightforward fix.
Whole-home surge protection is installed at the panel and covers every circuit in the building at once. A direct strike or a utility surge can damage anything plugged in, from appliances to electronics to HVAC control boards. A panel-mounted suppressor is the first line of defense.
Electrical safety inspections make sense when buying an older home, before listing a property for sale, or when a landlord or property manager needs documentation of the current condition. We go through the panel, the circuits, the outlets, and the visible wiring and provide a clear account of what we find. We test every circuit. We label every breaker. We leave it safe.
The wiring is done properly, start to finish, and the inspection report reflects the actual state of the system. One call gets the problem looked at properly.
Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and small business owners all call for different reasons, but the process is the same regardless. The scope gets discussed on the phone, the price is confirmed before the visit, and the work is explained as it goes.
For residential customers, that means everything from a single outlet repair in a Forks Township rental to a full rewiring project in an older Easton home. For commercial customers - offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and light industrial - we handle panel work, lighting upgrades, dedicated circuits for equipment, and repairs to existing systems.
Property managers with multiple units appreciate that we can scope and price jobs across different properties without a separate site visit for every location. A clear description of the symptom is usually enough to get a price range on the phone.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and the pricing conversation happens before anything is booked. When you call, we ask about the job, the symptoms, and the property. From there, we can give you a price range for most standard work - panel upgrades, EV charger circuits, ceiling fan installation, outlet work, rewiring assessments - without waiting until we are on site.
Questions about cost are common and straightforward to answer: what a 200-amp upgrade runs, what an EV charger circuit costs, what rewiring a partial home involves. Those questions get a straight answer on the call.
We take calls every day from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Book the visit. Know the scope. Know the price before it starts.
Call (484) 549-3289.
Easton is the primary service area, covering the West Ward, South Side, College Hill, and the neighborhoods along the Delaware and Lehigh rivers. We also serve the surrounding communities throughout Northampton County, including Bethlehem, Palmer Township, Wilson Borough, Forks Township, Nazareth, and Phillipsburg across the river in New Jersey.
If your property is in the Lehigh Valley region and you are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask. We confirm coverage on the phone and can usually get a visit scheduled the same week.
When you call, we ask about the job, the symptoms, and the property type. From there, we give you a price for most standard work before a visit is booked, so the scope and the rate are both settled on the call.
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Easton and Northampton County. The process is the same regardless of property type: the scope is discussed on the phone, the price is confirmed before scheduling, and the work is explained as it goes.
Call (484) 549-3289 and describe what you are dealing with.
We ask about the symptoms and the property, work through the scope with you on the call, and confirm the price before anything is scheduled.
We start by reviewing the symptoms with you on the phone and confirming the scope and price before the visit. When we arrive, we diagnose the fault, explain what we found, and complete the repair or installation. We test the work before we leave so you know the circuit is functioning correctly.
A clear description of the symptom and the property type is usually enough to get a price range for most standard jobs. For larger work like a panel upgrade or a rewiring project, a few more details about the panel size and the age of the wiring help us give you a more accurate figure.
If we find something during the visit that changes the scope, we stop and explain what changed and what it costs before we proceed. Nothing additional is done without your agreement first.
A single visit can cover a repair and a related installation in the same trip. Outlet replacement, GFCI or AFCI upgrades, breaker work, ceiling fan installation, and lighting are all jobs that are typically completed in one visit. Larger projects like panel upgrades or rewiring are scoped in advance so the visit is planned accordingly.
Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips repeatedly under normal use. Call us and describe what is happening, including which appliances are running when it trips. A kitchen circuit that trips regularly often points to an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a GFCI fault, and we can usually narrow it down on the phone before the visit.
Straightforward repairs, outlet replacements, and ceiling fan installations are usually completed in a few hours. Panel upgrades, EV charger circuit installations, and partial rewiring projects take longer and are scoped in advance so you know what the timeline involves before the visit is booked.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical services we handle for homes and businesses in Easton and across Northampton County. Each row covers what the service includes, who it fits best, and one practical detail worth knowing before you call. If a job spans more than one category, we scope it together on the call so nothing gets missed.
| Electrical Service | What It Covers | Ideal For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | Panel replacement, Service-entrance upgrade, Subpanel installation, Load calculation | Homes adding major loads like an EV charger, or properties with a panel that fails inspection | A 60-amp or 100-amp service sized for a mid-century household often cannot carry modern loads. We confirm the right service size before any work is quoted. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | Fault diagnosis, Circuit testing, GFCI and AFCI issues, Grounding and bonding problems | Homeowners or landlords dealing with a specific electrical symptom | A warm outlet, a burning smell, or a breaker that trips under normal load are each worth a call before the problem grows. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | Failed breaker replacement, Double-tapped breaker correction, Fuse panel assessment | Properties with a breaker that trips repeatedly or a fuse box still in service | A breaker that trips under normal load is not just an inconvenience. It often points to a wiring fault or an overloaded circuit that needs to be addressed directly. |
| Lighting Installation | Recessed and LED lighting, Security and motion lighting, Outdoor and landscape wiring, Commercial lighting upgrades | Homeowners updating interior lighting or businesses improving a retail or office space | Outdoor security lighting wiring runs from the panel out to the fixture. We handle the full circuit, not just the fixture swap. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | Fan replacement, New fan wiring, Wobble and noise diagnosis | Homeowners replacing an existing fan or adding one to a room without prior wiring | A fan that wobbles or hums under load usually needs full replacement rather than a repair. Most swaps are a clean half-day job. |
| Knob-and-Tube & Aluminum Rewiring | Knob-and-tube assessment and replacement, Aluminum wiring remediation, Pre-sale inspection follow-up, Whole-home rewiring | Owners of older Easton homes flagged during an inspection or insurance review | A large share of Easton's housing stock predates modern wiring standards. We assess what is present and scope the remediation before any work is committed to. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | Dedicated sump pump circuit, Basement outlet installation, GFCI protection in below-grade spaces | Homeowners finishing a basement or adding reliable power for a sump pump | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at the worst moment. A dedicated circuit keeps it running independently of other loads. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | GFCI outlet installation, AFCI breaker installation, Outlet and switch replacement, Commercial outlet buildouts | Homeowners, landlords, and businesses adding or updating receptacles | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. Older homes in Easton often lack it in one or more of those areas. |
| Code-Correction Wiring | Failed inspection follow-up, GFCI and AFCI upgrades, Grounding corrections, Rental property code work | Property owners addressing violations found during an inspection or insurance review | Panel replacements, service upgrades, and rewiring work in this area almost always require a permit. We confirm what applies before the job starts. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-mounted surge protector, Whole-home coverage, Appliance and electronics protection | Homeowners with sensitive electronics or a new panel who want to protect downstream circuits | A panel-mounted surge protector covers circuits that a standard power strip suppressor cannot reach, including appliance controls and HVAC electrical boards. |
| Backup Generator Installation | Transfer switch installation, Generator hookup wiring, Grounding and bonding, Load calculation | Homeowners who lose power during nor'easters or extended outages | A transfer switch is required to safely isolate the home from the utility line before the generator comes online. We do not hook up a generator without one. |
| EV Charger Installation | Dedicated 240-volt circuit, Panel capacity check, Permit coordination, Garage and outdoor charger wiring | Homeowners adding a Level 2 charger for an electric vehicle | If the existing panel is near capacity, a service upgrade is part of the conversation. We scope both together so the work is done in the right order. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | New circuit runs, Whole-home rewiring, Basement and attic wiring, Commercial circuit work | Properties adding capacity or updating wiring that no longer meets current code | Finished walls and ceilings add time to any wiring job. We explain the access approach and any scope adjustment before work begins. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | Panel and wiring condition review, GFCI and AFCI coverage check, Grounding and bonding assessment, Pre-sale and landlord inspections | Buyers, sellers, landlords, and property managers who need a clear picture of a system's condition | If the inspection turns up work that needs doing, the scope and price are confirmed before anything is scheduled. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | Dryer and range circuits, Refrigerator and freezer circuits, Home office circuits, Workshop circuits | Homeowners adding a major appliance or a home office that needs its own circuit | A dedicated circuit keeps a high-draw appliance from sharing load with other devices, which reduces nuisance trips and protects the appliance. |
Call (484) 549-3289 and we will walk through the scope with you, confirm the price, and get the visit on the schedule.
