FAQs
What kinds of major electrical repairs do you handle in the Deer Lodge area?
Our master-licensed electricians can diagnose and repair service-entrance panels, circuit breakers, whole-house rewiring, aluminum-to-copper pigtailing, main feeder conductors, meter bases, grounding systems, damaged underground service laterals, and large-capacity appliance circuits. We also replace obsolete or recalled equipment such as Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, correct code violations discovered during home sales, and repair storm or rodent damage to wiring.
Are your electricians properly licensed and insured for work in Deer Lodge and all of Powell County?
Yes. Every technician who arrives at your door holds a current Montana State Journeyman or Master Electrician license and is enrolled in our ongoing National Electrical Code (NEC) training. The company itself is a registered Electrical Contractor with the Montana Department of Labor & Industry and carries general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation. Copies of licenses, insurance certificates, and bonding information are available upon request.
Do I need a permit for major electrical repairs, and will you take care of it?
Most service-panel replacements, feeder upgrades, and whole-house rewiring projects in Deer Lodge require an electrical permit and inspection by the Montana State Electrical Board or the local authority having jurisdiction. As the contractor of record, we prepare and submit all paperwork, pay the permitting fee, schedule the inspection, and remain on site to meet the inspector. This ensures your project is fully code-compliant and protects your homeowner’s insurance coverage.
How soon can you respond to an emergency such as a smoking panel or partial power loss?
We have an on-call crew dedicated to Deer Lodge and surrounding communities. For true emergencies—sparking equipment, burning smells, or total loss of service—we aim to arrive within 60–90 minutes, 24/7, even on holidays. Non-emergency major repairs are usually scheduled for a same-day assessment and a repair date within 1–3 business days once materials arrive.
What does a major electrical repair typically cost?
Costs vary with the scope of work, the age of the wiring, and the parts required. As a ballpark, a main service-panel replacement (up to 200 amp) in Deer Lodge averages $2,000–$3,500, while a complete rewiring of a 1,500 sq ft home built before 1950 can range from $8,000–$15,000. After a free on-site evaluation, we provide a written, fixed-price quote that includes labor, materials, permit fees, and cleanup—no surprise add-ons.
What safety steps should I take before your electrician arrives?
If you notice sparks, smoke, or a burning odor, turn off the main breaker immediately if it is safe to do so, then call us and your utility. Keep clear of any standing water near electrical equipment, unplug sensitive electronics, and avoid using extension cords as a temporary fix. Never attempt DIY repairs on service equipment—doing so can void insurance and create additional hazards. Our technician will conduct a full safety check upon arrival.
