  • MAIN

    Panel upgrades & service changes

    Fuse boxes, undersized panels, and full service changes with a new meter base. If your panel is full, obsolete, or won’t carry what you want to add, this is the fix.

    100A → 200A
  • EV CHARGER

    EV chargers & RV outlets

    Level 2 home charging on its own 240-volt circuit, plus RV and generator outlets. Hardwired units or a receptacle, sized and wired to the manufacturer’s spec.

    240V · NEMA 14-50
  • LIGHTS

    Light fixtures & recessed lighting

    New fixtures and replacements, inside and out. Recessed cans, under-cabinet runs, chandeliers on high ceilings, and exterior lighting.

  • FAN

    Ceiling fan installation

    New fan locations and straight replacements. A new location needs a fan-rated box and blocking between the joists — a light box will not hold a fan.

  • FAULT

    Troubleshooting & repair

    Dead outlets, switches that stopped working, breakers that keep tripping, GFCI and AFCI faults. Finding the cause, not just resetting it.

  • ROUGH-IN

    New home wiring for builders

    Rough-in through trim-out, worked around your schedule and ready for inspection.

  • ADDITION

    Additions, porches & outdoor living

    Room additions, screened porches, decks and patios. Circuits, lighting, fans and weatherproof outlets for the space you’re adding.

Why the license matters

This is what bad electrical work looks like.

Burnt conductors. Melted insulation. Corroded copper. Connections like this one don’t announce themselves — they sit inside a ceiling for years until something gets hot enough to matter.

A license number isn’t paperwork. It means the work gets permitted and inspected, it means it meets code, and it means someone is accountable for it afterwards. Charlie’s is on every page of this site, and you can check it with the state board.

Charlie is insured and bonded, and he warranties his work for one year after installation. Materials supplied by the homeowner aren’t covered.

Sometimes people like to change their prices based on where people live or what their house looks like. I’m not looking to get rich off one job, just doing what I love to do.
