Most people try the obvious things first. Reset the breaker. Swap the bulb. Check whether the GFCI tripped somewhere upstream. That is sensible, and it handles a lot. The point where it stops being sensible is when the same problem comes back, when something feels warm that should not, or when a circuit that worked fine last week refuses to stay on. That is the point to call.
We take electrical work throughout Solon and the surrounding area, every day from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Homeowners with a panel that is running out of capacity, businesses adding circuits for new equipment, property managers dealing with a code issue before a tenant moves in, people who bought a house and have no idea what the wiring actually looks like inside the walls. Whatever the situation, the call is where it starts.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, so it helps to know what the situation actually calls for before anything is scheduled.
An intermittent fault is the hardest kind to chase. A breaker that trips twice a week but not every day, a light that flickers only when the heat kicks on, an outlet that works in the morning and not in the afternoon. These are not random. They follow a pattern, and finding the pattern is the job.
We trace the fault to its source before any work begins. That means checking the circuit under load, testing for arc-fault and ground-fault conditions, and working through the wiring rather than replacing parts until something sticks. If the panel is involved, we look at whether the breaker itself is failing or whether the load on that circuit has grown past what the wiring was sized to carry.
A Level 2 EV charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit run from the panel. Before that circuit goes in, we check whether the panel has the available capacity to carry it. A panel that is already close to its limit may need a capacity review before the charger circuit can be added. We scope that on the call so you know what the job involves before we schedule anything.
The electrical side of a generator installation is the part that keeps the system safe. A transfer switch isolates the home from the utility line when the generator is running. Without that isolation, power from the generator can feed back onto the line and create a hazard for anyone working on it during an outage. We install the transfer switch, run the wiring between the generator connection and the panel, and verify the switch operates correctly before the job is done. The generator unit itself is outside our scope.
A well pump runs on a dedicated circuit, typically 240 volts, and that circuit needs to be sized correctly for the pump's draw. An irrigation system controller and its pump may each need their own circuit depending on the load. These are not complicated jobs, but they are jobs where the circuit has to be right from the start, because a pump that loses power at the wrong moment or draws more than the wiring can carry is a problem that compounds quickly.
Outdoor wiring has to be done to a different standard than interior work. Weatherproof boxes, the right conduit for the exposure, GFCI protection on exterior circuits, proper burial depth for underground runs. Security lighting, motion-sensor fixtures, landscape lighting along a walkway or around a property, porch and soffit lighting. Each of these involves running wire from a circuit inside the home to a location outside it, and each one has to be done in a way that holds up through a Northeast Ohio winter.
A home in Solon that has not had its wiring looked at in twenty years may have conditions that are not obvious from the outlets and switches. Older panels, wiring that does not meet current arc-fault or ground-fault requirements, grounding that was never properly done, circuits that have been extended without documentation. An inspection works through the panel, the visible wiring, the grounding and bonding, and the GFCI and AFCI coverage, and gives you a plain answer on what needs attention and what does not.
Most electrical work that involves the panel, new circuits, or changes to the service entrance requires a permit. Work that replaces a like-for-like device, such as swapping a failed outlet or a breaker, generally does not. The line between the two depends on the jurisdiction, and the rules in a city can differ from the rules in the surrounding county.
We handle the permit filing when a job requires one. That means the work goes on the schedule with enough lead time to get the permit in hand before we start. Inspections happen after the work is complete, and the job is done to the standard the inspector expects. If you are not sure whether a particular job needs a permit, that is a question worth asking on the call before anything is scheduled.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job moving from the first call through the finished work.
We take calls every day from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. That covers morning calls before a workday starts, evening calls after, and weekend scheduling without waiting until Monday. When a business needs electrical work done without shutting down, we talk through the timing on the call and work around what the space requires.
Some electrical conditions are not problems to put on a list for next week. A burning smell near a panel, a breaker that will not stay reset, an outlet that sparked, a partial power loss that points to a failing service entrance. These are calls to make right away. We take short-notice work and answer calls about urgent conditions during our hours. Call us and we'll walk you through the fix.
Not every power problem in a home is a problem with the home's wiring. A partial power loss that affects one side of the house, or a full outage that the neighbors are also experiencing, may point to a utility fault rather than anything inside the panel.
We work through the symptoms on the call to figure out which side the fault is likely on. If it appears to be a utility issue, the next step is a call to the utility company to report it. If the symptoms point to the service entrance or the panel, that is where we start when we arrive. Either way, you get a plain answer on what to do next rather than a scheduled visit that turns out to be unnecessary.
The price for a job depends on what the job actually involves. A straightforward outlet replacement is a different scope from tracing an intermittent fault through a finished wall. A panel upgrade that the existing service entrance can support is a different scope from one that requires a service upgrade at the same time.
We scope the job on the call. You describe what you are seeing, we ask the questions that help us understand what is likely involved, and we give you a price before anything is scheduled. If the work turns up something that changes the scope, we describe it and confirm a revised price before continuing. Nothing is added to the bill without that conversation.
With a local company, a question about the work gets a straight answer. That applies to pricing as much as it does to the diagnosis. Call in the morning. Talk it through. Know the options by the end of the call.
We cover Solon and the surrounding communities throughout Cuyahoga County. If you are in Bentleyville, Glenwillow, Bedford Heights, Oakwood, or Moreland Hills, we work in your area and take calls from all of them.
The same range of work applies across the whole area: repairs and troubleshooting, panel upgrades, outlet and lighting installation, generator hookups, EV charger circuits, and safety inspections. If you are outside this list but nearby, call and we will confirm whether we cover your address. Everything covered is listed on our list of electrical services.
Homes in Cuyahoga County vary widely depending on when they were built. Older houses may have panels that have not been updated since the original installation, wiring that does not include ground-fault or arc-fault protection, or circuits that have been extended over the years without documentation. We work through what is actually there rather than assuming, and we explain what we find before recommending anything.
Homes in a town this size tend to be owner-occupied single-family houses, and the calls we get most often involve aging panels that were sized for a smaller load than the house now carries, circuits that trip under normal use, and outdoor or landscape wiring that was added without proper weatherproofing. EV charger circuits are an increasing part of the work as more households add a plug-in vehicle. If you are not sure whether what you are seeing warrants a call, describe it and we will tell you.
Most repair and installation work causes minimal disruption. Running new wire through finished walls requires small access holes at the box locations, and in some cases a larger opening where wire has to be fished through a difficult path. We work to keep openings small and clean up at the end of each visit.
Yes. We take work throughout the area, including Bentleyville, Glenwillow, Bedford Heights, Oakwood, and Moreland Hills. If you are in one of those communities or somewhere nearby, call and we will confirm coverage for your address before anything is scheduled.
A problem that has been sitting for a month is usually a problem that has gotten a little worse. A breaker that trips occasionally becomes one that trips every other day. A panel that is running close to its limit becomes one that cannot take any more load without an upgrade. The work does not get smaller by waiting.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical work we handle for homes and businesses in Solon and the surrounding area. Each row covers what the service involves, who it fits best, and one practical thing worth knowing before you call. If a job on your list is not here, call us and we will tell you whether it falls within our scope.
| Type of Work | Scope of Work | When You Need It | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular |
| Homes with 60- or 100-amp service adding EV chargers, heat pump circuits, or home office loads | Panel and wiring work is finished to code on every job. If the load calculation requires a service entrance upgrade, we coordinate that as part of the same project. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Rooms where an existing fixture is being swapped or a new fan is going in | The electrical box must be rated for the fan's weight. Many older boxes are not, and we confirm that before the fan goes up. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| Homes where a breaker trips repeatedly or will not stay reset | A breaker that trips under normal load is often a sign of an undersized circuit or a failing device, not just an overload. |
