Homes in a town like Wellington tend to be older, and older homes carry wiring that was never designed for the loads people put on it today. Panels sized for a different era, circuits that have been extended and extended again, outlets that have never had a ground: these are the calls we take regularly. Whether you own a house here, manage rental properties, or run a small business, we handle the full range of electrical repairs and installations.
Call (316) 294-4289 for a quote.
We cover everything from a single dead outlet to a complete rewire. Landlords call us when a tenant reports a problem and they need it handled the same week. Property managers call when a unit fails an inspection. Business owners call when a piece of equipment keeps tripping a breaker and they need to know why before it becomes a bigger problem. Whatever the situation, the call is answered by someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. We're available every day from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
In Wellington's housing stock, the main panel is most often in a basement, a utility room, or a detached garage. Older homes sometimes have a panel that has been moved or supplemented with a subpanel added during a renovation, and the two are not always in the same place. When you call, telling us where the panel is and whether there is a second one saves time on the visit.
The fastest visits are the ones where the panel is accessible and the affected circuits are easy to identify. If the panel is behind stored items, clearing a path before we arrive makes a real difference. The same goes for outlets, switches, or fixtures that are the subject of the call. We do not need the room empty, just enough access to work safely.
A load calculation is part of any panel upgrade or new circuit job. Knowing what the panel currently carries and what the new work adds to it shapes the whole scope, so that conversation happens on the call before anything is scheduled.
A breaker that trips once and resets fine is easy to dismiss. A breaker that trips only when a specific appliance runs, or only after the circuit has been under load for a while, or only when it rains, is telling you something specific. The problem is that it may not be visible at all from the panel or the outlet.
Intermittent faults are their own category of diagnostic work. A connection that is loose enough to arc under load but holds fine at rest will not show up on a basic check. A wiring run that has absorbed moisture at one point in the wall may only fail when temperature and humidity push it past a threshold. These are the jobs where the symptom is real and the cause takes time to locate.
Arc-fault and ground-fault conditions fall into this category too. An AFCI breaker that trips without an obvious cause is not malfunctioning. It is detecting something in the circuit that a standard breaker would miss. We trace the fault rather than resetting the breaker and leaving the underlying condition in place. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
Recessed lighting is the upgrade that makes the most visible difference in a room. A kitchen or living area that was wired for one or two ceiling fixtures reads completely differently with a properly planned recessed layout. LED retrofits in existing fixtures reduce the load on the circuit while improving output, and they are worth doing whenever a fixture is being replaced anyway.
Under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen is a practical addition that often comes up alongside other kitchen work. Dimmer switches are a small job on their own but make sense to handle at the same time as a fixture replacement rather than as a separate call.
Outdoor lighting covers a wide range of work: security lights at the corners of the house, motion sensor fixtures over a garage door, landscape lighting along a walkway. All of it requires weatherproof fixtures and correct wire ratings for exterior runs. If the existing exterior circuit is already near capacity, adding fixtures means either adding a circuit or assessing what is already on it.
Good outdoor lighting is worth planning rather than adding one fixture at a time. When we are already running wire for one exterior fixture, it is straightforward to add a second location at the same time rather than returning for a separate job. Call us and the rest is handled.
Scheduling electrical work around a tenant or a business that has to stay open is a real constraint, and it shapes how the job gets planned. For rental properties, we work around occupancy. For businesses, we talk through which circuits can be taken down and when before the visit is booked.
For problems that will not keep, the call is answered every day from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. A burning smell near a panel, an outlet that is warm to the touch, or a breaker that will not hold under normal load are situations worth calling about the same day. Describe what you are seeing when you call and we will tell you how to handle it until we can get there.
For planned work, the scope and the price are settled on the call before anything is scheduled. If the job involves a permit, we tell you before we start. Work in this area gets done to the code inspectors here actually enforce, and that is part of what we confirm before the work begins.
A ceiling fan installation looks simple but depends on having the right box in the ceiling and the right wiring at the switch. A box rated only for a light fixture is not rated for the weight and movement of a fan. We confirm the box, run the wiring correctly, and set up the switch or remote before we leave. Recessed lighting follows the same principle: the layout gets planned before the first hole is cut, and the circuit is checked for capacity before the fixtures go in.
A weatherproof outlet on an exterior wall or in a garage is a practical addition that comes up often in older homes that were never wired for outdoor use. The enclosure, the cover plate, and the GFCI protection all matter. An outdoor outlet that is not properly protected is a fault waiting to happen, and we wire these to hold up to the conditions rather than just to pass a visual inspection.
A service upgrade to a higher amperage is the right answer when the panel cannot support the home's current load or when new equipment is being added that the existing service cannot carry. The upgrade covers the panel, the service entrance, and the meter connection, with a load calculation confirming the new size before the work starts.
Welders, air compressors, and workshop equipment draw more current than a standard circuit can support. A dedicated circuit sized for the equipment keeps the breaker from tripping under load and protects the rest of the house from the demand spikes that heavy equipment creates. We also install panel-level surge protection at the same time as a panel upgrade or service work when it makes sense to do both at once, covering every circuit in the house against voltage spikes from the utility side.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends.
The price for electrical work depends on what the fault turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change. Those three things cannot be confirmed from a description alone, which is why the call is the first step.
When you call, we ask enough questions to give you a real number before anything is scheduled. If the job turns out to be more involved once the wall is opened or the panel is checked, that conversation happens before the scope changes. You are told what it covers and what would change it.
We tell you if a permit is needed. We name the fault plainly. You decide the fix. It is all set out on the page covering our electrical services.
We serve Wellington and the surrounding communities in Sumner County. That includes Mayfield, Belle Plaine, Oxford, Peck, and Milan. If you are outside Wellington proper, call and we will confirm coverage at your address.
The work is the same across the area: repairs and troubleshooting, panel upgrades, wiring and rewiring, outlets and lighting, backup generator hookups, and surge protection. Residential and commercial.
Some wiring runs above finished ceilings and cannot be accessed without opening the ceiling surface. When that is the case, we explain it before the work starts and describe where the access will be needed. Patching and finishing the ceiling is typically a separate trade's scope, and we keep access points as small as the job allows.
A new appliance with a higher draw may exceed what the existing circuit can safely carry. We check the circuit rating against the new appliance's requirements before the installation is finalized. If the circuit needs to be upgraded or a new dedicated circuit needs to be run, that is explained and quoted before any work starts.
The electrical side is our scope. That includes running the dedicated circuit, installing the disconnect, and making sure the panel has the capacity to support the load. Installing, repairing, or maintaining the heating or cooling equipment itself is HVAC work, not electrical work. We handle the power supply side and coordinate with the HVAC trade on the equipment side.
Homes in this area that were built before the 1980s often have wiring that was sized for smaller loads and fewer devices. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, and undersized panels are all possibilities in older properties. When you call about a home from that era, we ask the right questions on the phone to understand what the wiring situation likely involves before we schedule the visit.
We complete the work to current code, and where a permit was required, the inspection and sign-off process creates a record of the work. That documentation is the standard record for insurance purposes. If you need a written scope of work or a description of what was done, ask on the call and we will tell you what we can provide.
Yes. Outbuildings, detached garages, and rural properties with separate structures are part of the work we take on in this area. Running a circuit to a barn, workshop, or outbuilding involves its own set of considerations around wire sizing, grounding, and weatherproofing, and we scope that on the call the same way we would any other job.
Often, yes. Staging a rewire room by room allows the rest of the property to remain in use while each section is completed. The exact sequence depends on the property layout and where the circuits run. We plan the order before the work starts and walk you through it so you know what to expect at each stage.

| Service | Scope of Work | Ideal For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | New circuit runs, Circuit additions for remodels, Wire gauge and breaker sizing, Code-compliant rough-in and finish | Additions, remodels, workshops, or any space that needs circuits added or reconfigured | New circuits require a load calculation to confirm the panel can carry the added demand without overloading existing wiring. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrade, Subpanel installation, Meter and service-entrance work, Load calculation and utility coordination | Homes adding EV chargers, finishing a basement, or running modern appliances on an undersized panel | Many Wellington homes were built with 100-amp panels that cannot support today's household load. A 200-amp upgrade gives the panel headroom for current and future demand. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-level surge protector installation, Full-circuit coverage, Protection for appliance and HVAC circuits, Straightforward upgrade with lasting value | Homeowners in areas with frequent lightning or grid fluctuations who want to protect electronics and appliances | A surge protector at the panel covers every circuit in the house. A plug-in strip only covers the one device plugged into it. |
