We are a locally owned electrical contractor based at 1620 Spray St in Burlington, IA. That means fast same-day dispatch, no long wait windows, and a team that understands the housing stock and electrical challenges unique to southeast Iowa. Many homes in the Burlington area were built decades ago and still rely on outdated 60-amp or 100-amp service panels, aluminum wiring, or ungrounded two-prong outlets that simply cannot keep up with today's power demands. Our electricians specialize in bringing older homes up to modern safety and capacity standards without unnecessary upselling.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system. If you are adding a room, installing an EV charger, upgrading to a heat pump, or simply tripping breakers when the AC and microwave run at the same time, it may be time for a panel upgrade. We install 200-amp heavy-ups and service upgrades that give your home the capacity to handle modern electrical loads safely. Every panel upgrade includes a new main breaker, proper grounding and bonding, and coordination with your utility for a seamless service reconnection. We use only UL-listed panels from trusted manufacturers like Square D, Siemens, and Eaton.
Electric vehicle ownership is growing rapidly across Burlington and southeast Iowa, and a dedicated Level 2 home charger is the convenient way to keep your EV ready to go. Our certified electricians install 240-volt Level 2 charging stations with properly sized dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and weatherproof enclosures for garage or exterior mounting. We handle the load calculation to confirm your existing panel can support the charger, and if it cannot, we will recommend the right panel upgrade to do the job safely. We install chargers compatible with all major EV brands including Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, and Rivian.
Power surges from lightning, utility switching, and large appliance cycling can destroy expensive electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment in an instant. Plug-in surge strips are not enough to protect your whole house. We install panel-mounted whole-home surge protectors that divert damaging voltage spikes to ground before they reach your circuits. This single upgrade protects every outlet in your home and typically costs far less than replacing a single refrigerator or television. Most installations take under two hours and include a status indicator so you always know your protection is active.
Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations because they prevent deadly electrical shocks. If your home still has older outlets in these areas, we can upgrade them quickly and affordably. We also install modern LED recessed lighting that brightens your home while cutting energy costs, add dimmer switches for ambiance and savings, and replace old switch and outlet covers that have yellowed or cracked over the years. These small upgrades make a noticeable difference in both safety and home value.
We believe in honest communication and transparent pricing. When you call Elite Electric, you get a licensed electrician who will diagnose your problem, explain your options in plain language, and provide a flat-rate price before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure to buy more than you need. Our service vans are fully stocked with common parts so most repairs are completed in a single visit, and every job is backed by our written workmanship warranty.
