FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you handle in Deer Lodge?
Our licensed electricians can diagnose and repair a wide range of issues, including flickering lights, tripped breakers, outlet or switch failures, faulty ceiling-fan wiring, service-panel problems, damaged underground feeds, and code violations. We also specialize in surge-protection upgrades and electric-vehicle (EV) charger circuits, ensuring every repair meets current Montana electrical codes.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Deer Lodge?
We offer 24/7 emergency service and aim to be on-site within 60–90 minutes for most Deer Lodge locations. Our trucks are stocked with common breakers, outlets, wire gauges, and diagnostic equipment, allowing us to resolve the majority of emergencies in a single visit.
Do I need a permit or inspection for electrical repairs?
Montana law requires permits and inspections for most significant electrical work, such as panel replacements, new circuits, or service-entrance upgrades. As a licensed contractor, we obtain all necessary permits through the State Electrical Board and coordinate inspections with the local jurisdiction. Minor repairs like replacing a receptacle typically do not need a permit, but we will advise you if one is required.
How do you price electrical repair jobs?
We use flat-rate, upfront pricing. After diagnosing the problem, we provide a written quote that details labor, parts, and any permit fees. Once you approve the quote, the price will not change unless the scope of work changes and you authorize a revised estimate. For diagnostic service calls, we charge a small trip/assessment fee that is waived if you proceed with the repair.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician holds a State of Montana journeyman or master electrician license, completes ongoing National Electrical Code (NEC) training, and is covered by liability insurance and workers’ compensation. We also conduct background checks and drug screenings for your peace of mind.
What can I do to prevent future electrical problems?
Schedule an annual electrical safety inspection, especially in homes older than 30 years. We check panel connections, test GFCI/AFCI devices, look for heat signatures with infrared cameras, and verify grounding and surge protection. Simple preventive measures—like replacing worn cords, avoiding overloaded power strips, and upgrading outdated two-prong outlets—can greatly reduce the risk of shocks, fires, and appliance damage.
