Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, we handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in Conway and the surrounding Faulkner County area. That means repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel work, wiring and rewiring, lighting, outlets, ceiling fans, and the dedicated circuits that power large appliances and major equipment.
All work is performed by licensed electricians, and every job is done to code. We pull permits where required, follow current code standards for GFCI and AFCI protection, and leave the work clean and documented. From a quick diagnostic visit to a multi-day rewiring project, the approach is the same: find the problem, explain the fix, and do the work right.
Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Our electricians know the homes and wiring in this area, and the repair calls we get most often are the ones every homeowner and small-business owner dreads: flickering lights that won't quit, outlets that stopped working, breakers that trip every time you run the microwave, sparking outlets, burning smells near a panel or switch, and power that's out in one room but fine in the rest of the house.
These problems range from a simple fix to a sign of something more serious, like an electrical fault or a short in the wiring. We troubleshoot and diagnose before we quote, so you know exactly what the issue is and what it will take to resolve it. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers, wiring faults, overloaded circuits, and degraded connections are all in our wheelhouse. Same-day electrical service is available when the situation can't wait.
Dead outlets, loose receptacles, outlets that spark, and switches that stopped responding are all common service calls. We repair and replace standard outlets, install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, and add AFCI protection where code requires it. If you want USB outlets at a desk or nightstand, dimmer switches in the living room, or smart switches tied to a home automation system, we handle those installations too.
The job usually takes less time than most people expect. We test everything before we leave.
Indoor and outdoor lighting installation covers a wide range of work: recessed lighting in living areas and kitchens, under-cabinet lighting for task areas, landscape and pathway lighting, and security and motion-sensor lighting for driveways and entry points. Exterior lighting ties directly to safety and curb appeal, and a well-placed fixture can make a real difference at night.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement is one of our most frequent calls, especially before summer. We handle the wiring, the mounting, and the switch, whether you're replacing an old fan or adding one to a room that has never had one. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and that includes the panel. Breaker panels don't last forever. When breakers won't hold a load, when you're adding circuits to a panel that's already full, or when the equipment is outdated and no longer meets current standards, an upgrade is the right call.
We perform 200-amp service upgrades, main panel replacements, and subpanel installations for homes and commercial properties. Every panel job includes a load calculation so the new equipment is properly sized for the circuits it will serve. We also handle service-entrance and meter considerations, grounding and bonding, and coordination with the utility when the work requires it.
We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own. That means no shortcuts on panel work, because the panel is the foundation everything else depends on.
We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Older homes in Conway and across Faulkner County sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring. Both present real concerns: knob-and-tube is ungrounded and was never designed for today's electrical loads, and aluminum wiring at connections and devices requires specific materials and techniques to stay safe. We handle whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum wiring remediation for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who need the work documented and done to code.
On the dedicated-circuit side, we run circuits for large appliances, kitchen and bathroom remodel wiring, garage and detached garage circuits, basement finishing, home additions, and outbuildings. If you're finishing a basement and need circuits for lighting, outlets, and a sump pump, we wire all of it. If you're adding a room or converting a garage, we extend the panel capacity and run the new wiring to match.
Call and we'll get you back to full power.
Conway and Faulkner County sit in a four-season climate that brings hot, humid summers, a genuine severe storm season, and occasional winter ice events. That combination puts real demand on residential and commercial electrical systems. Air conditioning circuits run hard from May through September. Thunderstorms and tornadoes roll through with enough frequency that backup power and whole-home surge protection are practical investments here, not luxury add-ons. The three services below come up regularly in this area, and we handle all of them.
Older housing stock in Conway often has panels that were sized for a different era. A home wired in the 1970s or 1980s was not designed to carry the load of central cooling circuits, modern kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and the rest of what a household runs today. When the panel runs out of capacity, the answer is a 200-amp upgrade or a subpanel addition, not more breakers crammed into a full box.
We perform load calculations before any panel work so the new equipment is matched to the actual demand of the home. If a dedicated circuit for cooling equipment needs to be run as part of the upgrade, we handle that circuit and the panel capacity behind it.
Ice storms and severe weather in central Arkansas can knock out power for hours or days at a time. A properly installed generator hookup means the lights stay on, the refrigerator keeps running, and a business doesn't lose a day of revenue waiting for the grid to come back.
We install transfer switches, wire standby generators, and make sure the hookup is done safely so the generator never back-feeds the utility line. The work covers everything on the electrical side: the transfer switch, the wiring between the generator and the panel, and testing the system before we leave.
A plug-in surge strip protects one outlet. A whole-house surge protector installed at the panel level protects every circuit in the home at once. During Arkansas storm season, voltage spikes from nearby lightning strikes and grid fluctuations can damage appliances, electronics, and the wiring itself.
Panel-level surge protection is one of the most cost-effective upgrades available for a home with a significant investment in electronics and appliances. We install whole-house surge protectors as a standalone job or as part of a panel upgrade.
Scheduling an electrician shouldn't be complicated. We work with single-family homeowners, landlords managing rental properties, property managers overseeing multi-unit buildings, and small businesses ranging from retail spaces to offices and light commercial facilities.
Electrical safety inspections are a regular part of our work. Homeowners schedule them before a purchase, landlords use them for rental compliance documentation, and insurance carriers sometimes require them on older properties. We inspect the panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding, and provide a clear summary of what we find.
We've wired and repaired homes all over this area. That experience carries over to commercial work too, including recessed and LED lighting for retail and office spaces, dedicated circuits for commercial equipment, and panel capacity for businesses that are growing into a space.
Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Pricing is discussed upfront. When you call, we talk through the job, give you a quote before any work begins, and make sure there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. We don't charge you to find out what something costs.
As a family-run electrical business, we've built our schedule around being available when customers actually need us. Same-day electrical service is available for urgent situations, and we work evenings and weekends for jobs that can't wait until Monday morning.
Call today. Scheduled tomorrow. Powered by the weekend.
We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Conway is our home base, and we serve customers throughout Faulkner County and the surrounding communities. If you're in Greenbrier, Vilonia, Mayflower, Maumelle, Cabot, or Morrilton, we make the drive. Give us a call and we'll confirm we cover your area.
It depends on the panel's age, current load, and available breaker space. A Level 2 home EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and many older panels in Conway and Faulkner County do not have the capacity to support one without an upgrade. We assess the panel first and tell you upfront whether an upgrade is part of the picture.
We install the transfer switch, run the wiring between the generator and the panel, and test the system before we leave. The transfer switch is the critical piece. It prevents the generator from back-feeding onto utility lines, which protects both your equipment and utility workers. We handle standby and portable generator hookups.
A plug-in surge strip protects only the devices plugged into it. A panel-level surge protection device covers every circuit in the home at once, including hardwired appliances and HVAC circuits. During Arkansas storm season, a single voltage spike from a nearby lightning strike can damage multiple systems simultaneously. Panel-level protection is a more complete solution.
Most panel upgrades take one day. The timeline can vary depending on whether the service entrance needs work, whether the utility has to disconnect and reconnect power, and how much additional circuit work is part of the job. We walk through the expected schedule with you when we quote the project.
Frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, outlets that feel warm or smell like burning, and visible damage to wiring or outlet covers are all warning signs. Homes in Conway with knob-and-tube or aluminum branch-circuit wiring may not show obvious symptoms but still carry real safety risk. An electrical safety inspection is the right way to get a clear picture.
A quick repair addresses a specific problem at a single point in the system, such as a faulty outlet, a bad breaker, or a damaged switch. A full rewire replaces the branch-circuit wiring throughout the home, which is the right answer when the existing wiring is knob-and-tube, aluminum, or otherwise degraded to the point where targeted repairs no longer address the underlying risk.
For most repairs and installations, yes, the circuit being worked on needs to be de-energized. For larger jobs like panel replacements, the main power to the home will be off for a period of time. We let you know in advance how long to expect the power to be out and plan the work to minimize that window.
Flickering or dimming lights usually point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a problem at the panel. Occasional dimming when a large appliance starts up is common, but persistent flickering or dimming across multiple rooms is a sign that something in the wiring or panel needs attention. We troubleshoot from the panel out to find the source.
We size the circuit for the actual load of the appliance, run the appropriate wire gauge, and install the correct outlet or breaker. Dryers and ranges typically need 240-volt circuits. Refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines each benefit from their own dedicated run. We check panel capacity before we start and let you know if an upgrade is needed.
Yes. We run circuits to detached garages, workshops, and outbuildings, including the trench work or conduit routing that gets the wiring from the main panel to the structure. The scope depends on the distance, the load requirements, and whether a subpanel makes more sense than a direct circuit run.
Exterior wiring requires weatherproof conduit, outdoor-rated materials, and GFCI protection at all outdoor outlets. We route exterior circuits to avoid water intrusion points and make sure all connections are properly sealed and protected. Security lighting, landscape lighting, and exterior outlet installation all follow these standards.
A targeted repair is the right answer when the problem is isolated to a specific device, connection, or section of wiring and the rest of the system is in good condition. When we find evidence that a problem is part of a larger pattern, such as degraded wiring throughout a circuit or a panel that is failing in multiple places, we will tell you that a more complete fix is the better investment.
We go through the panel, the branch-circuit wiring, outlets, switches, grounding, and bonding. We look for code deficiencies, signs of wear, improper past repairs, and potential hazards. We also check for missing GFCI and AFCI protection where current code requires it, and we can add hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors during the same visit.
Call us and describe the property and what you are trying to accomplish. We schedule a visit to assess the existing system, take measurements, and put together a quote that covers the full scope of the work. For larger jobs, we walk through the timeline, the permit requirements, and what to expect on the days we are on-site.

| Electrical Service | What the Job Involves | Best For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| EV Charger Installation |
| Electric vehicle owners who want faster home charging than a standard outlet provides | Many homes need a panel assessment before a Level 2 charger can be added; we check capacity and tell you upfront what the job involves. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| Any home with newer appliances, a home office, or a recently upgraded panel | A single voltage spike during storm season can damage multiple appliances and circuits at once; panel-level protection covers everything downstream. |
| Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades |
| Homes with older panels, frequent tripping, or new high-draw loads like EV chargers and appliances | A 200-amp upgrade brings the panel up to current standards and creates room for the circuits modern homes need. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation |
| Homeowners adding outlets, upgrading kitchens and baths, or modernizing a home office | If the wiring or box behind the switch is not up to current code, we tell you before we start. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| Homeowners with older wiring, recent buyers, and landlords managing rental properties | An inspection is worth scheduling any time a home has not had a professional look at the panel in several years. |
| Breaker and Fuse Repair |
| Homes where breakers trip repeatedly or fuses blow without a clear cause | A breaker that will not stay reset is a sign of a wiring fault or overloaded circuit, not just a nuisance. |
| Older-Home Rewiring |
| Owners of older homes where aging wiring is creating real safety risk or failing inspections | Rewiring is a significant job, but it is the right answer when the existing wiring cannot safely carry modern loads. |
| Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting |
| Homeowners and businesses with an electrical problem that needs a real diagnosis | We troubleshoot from the panel out to the problem point and explain what we find before any work begins. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Homeowners replacing a fixture or adding a fan where none existed before | Older ceiling boxes are often not rated for a fan's weight; we check and upgrade the box if needed. |
| Wiring for Additions and Remodels |
| Homeowners adding square footage or renovating spaces that need updated electrical | Any addition or major remodel is a good time to assess whether the existing panel can carry the new load. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Anyone upgrading interior lighting or adding outdoor security and curb-appeal lighting | Exterior and motion-sensor lighting is one of the most practical security upgrades a home can get. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| Homeowners and businesses in areas where severe storms and ice can knock out power for days | A proper transfer switch is what makes a generator connection safe; we handle the full electrical side of the hookup. |
| Wiring and Circuit Installation |
| Homes that have grown beyond what the original wiring was designed to handle | Older wiring that cannot carry modern loads safely is a real risk, not just an inconvenience. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Homeowners adding high-draw appliances or finishing a basement or workshop | Dedicated circuits prevent nuisance tripping and protect appliances that need a clean, isolated power supply. |
| Basement and Sump-Pump Circuits |
| Homeowners finishing a basement or adding a sump pump that needs its own dedicated run | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at the worst moment; a dedicated run keeps it isolated and reliable. |
What are the signs that a home needs a panel or service upgrade?
The most common signs are breakers that trip often under normal use, a panel that feels warm or makes a buzzing sound, an older fuse panel still in service, and circuits that cannot support the loads you need. Homes adding an EV charger, a major appliance, or finishing additional living space frequently find that the existing panel does not have the capacity. We do a load calculation and walk you through what an upgrade involves before any work begins.
Why does a breaker keep tripping even after I reset it?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you one of two things: the circuit is carrying more load than it was designed for, or there is a fault somewhere in the wiring. Resetting it without finding the cause does not fix the problem and can create a safety risk over time. We troubleshoot the circuit from the panel out, find the actual source, and give you a clear answer on what it will take to resolve it.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Permits and inspections are required for most significant electrical work, including panel upgrades, new circuits, and service changes. Work performed by licensed electricians follows code requirements, and we handle the permit process where it applies. Code-compliant work protects your home, your insurance coverage, and your ability to sell the property later.
Same-Day Service Available
When an electrical problem cannot wait, we have same-day availability for urgent calls. Reach out early and we will do our best to get an electrician to you the same day.
How do I know if the wiring in my older home is safe?
Older homes can carry wiring that was installed to the standards of a different era, including knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring that may not meet today's safety requirements. Warm outlets, discolored switch plates, flickering lights, and a panel that has not been looked at in years are all reasons to schedule an electrical safety inspection. We assess the wiring, grounding, and panel condition and give you a straight answer on what we find.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a panel that has the capacity to support it. We start by assessing the panel, confirm there is room for the circuit, and then run the wiring and install the outlet or hardwired connection your charger needs. If a panel upgrade is part of the picture, we tell you upfront before any work begins.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
Yes, someone 18 or older should be home for the visit. It helps to have access cleared to the area where the problem is and to know where the electrical panel is located. You do not need to do any electrical work yourself beforehand; just let us know what you are seeing when you call.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear quote before any work begins. If something unexpected comes up during the job, we explain it and get your approval before moving forward.
How does pricing work, and will the cost change after the electrician arrives?
We give you a quote before any work begins. If we find something additional during the job that was not visible at the start, we explain it and get your approval before we proceed. We do not add charges without your knowledge.
When should I call an electrician instead of trying to fix it myself?
Anything involving the panel, new wiring, circuit additions, or a problem you cannot clearly identify is work for a licensed electrician. Replacing a light switch or a standard outlet is a task some homeowners handle, but warm outlets, repeated tripping, flickering lights, or any burning smell near a panel or switch are situations where calling is the right move. Electrical faults can escalate quickly, and a professional diagnosis is worth it.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
From knob-and-tube remediation in older Conway homes to EV charger installation in new construction, we handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in this area.
Is same-day electrical service available?
Same-day electrical service is available for urgent situations. Call early in the day to give us the best window for getting an electrician out to you. For non-urgent work, a few days of lead time is usually enough to get on the schedule.
What does whole-home surge protection actually protect?
A surge protection device installed at the panel level covers every circuit in the home from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes or grid fluctuations. A single event during storm season can damage appliances, electronics, and sensitive equipment all at once. We install the device at the panel and verify that the grounding system supports it properly, so the protection works the way it should.
How long does a panel upgrade or full rewire take?
A panel upgrade is typically a one-day job for most homes, though the timeline depends on the scope of the work, whether a permit inspection is required, and the condition of the existing service entrance. A full rewire is a larger project and can take several days depending on the size of the home. We give you a realistic timeline when we assess the job, not a number pulled from thin air.
Call (501) 536-6282 and we will talk through what you are seeing, give you a straight quote, and get you on the schedule.
