Question 1

How does your pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We provide a written, up-front estimate before starting any work. Service calls have a flat diagnostic fee that's applied to the repair if you decide to move forward.

Question 2

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

For project work like panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, lighting, and remodels — yes. For diagnostic service calls, we charge a small flat dispatch fee that we credit toward the repair.

Question 3

Is my outlet/breaker dangerous?

Accepted Answer

If you smell burning, see scorch marks, or feel heat at a switch or outlet, stop using it and call us immediately at 605.334.8141 — this is a 24/7 line. Don't reset a breaker repeatedly; it's tripping for a reason.

Question 4

When should I upgrade my electrical panel?

Accepted Answer

Common signs: fuse box rather than breakers, frequent tripping, a 60–100A service trying to power a modern home, no AFCI/GFCI protection in newer code-required areas, or visible rust/scorch marks. We can assess and quote in one visit.

Question 5

Do you do small jobs like installing a ceiling fan or a single outlet?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. No job too small. We schedule small jobs alongside larger ones to keep service fees fair.

Question 6

Can you work with my general contractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we partner with most Sioux Falls–area GCs on remodels, additions, and new builds. We can join walk-throughs and rough-in planning.

Question 7

Do you do after-hours commercial work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For retail, restaurants, offices, and warehouses we routinely schedule installs nights and weekends to avoid disrupting your business.

Question 8

Are you licensed for commercial scope?

Accepted Answer

We're fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial electrical work in South Dakota, and carry the bonding required for most commercial GCs.

Question 9

What EV chargers do you install?

Accepted Answer

All major Level 2 brands — Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, JuiceBox, and more. We'll size the circuit, pull permits, and leave a clean run.

Question 10

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Not always. We perform a load calculation first. Sometimes a 200A panel handles a Level 2 charger fine; other times we recommend an upgrade or a load-management device.

Question 11

What size generator do I need?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what you want to power. Whole-home backup for a typical Sioux Falls home is usually 18–26 kW. We do a site visit and recommend based on your panel and lifestyle.

Question 12

Do you service the generators you install?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer annual service plans so your standby unit is actually ready when an outage hits.
