As a locally owned electrical company based at 1620 Spray St in Burlington, IA 52601, we understand the unique electrical needs of southeast Iowa homes and businesses. Many properties in our service area were built decades ago and still operate on outdated 60-amp or 100-amp electrical panels, aluminum branch wiring (common in homes built between 1965 and 1973), or ungrounded two-prong outlets that cannot safely power modern appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, or home electronics. Our electricians specialize in bringing older properties up to current National Electrical Code standards while minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
