Who I Serve
Built for Gillette homeowners, builders and property managers
Older houses, new builds and rentals all need different things from an electrician. Here is how that usually looks.
Electrical repair, troubleshooting, panel upgrades, generator installation and EV charger installation for homes and acreages around Gillette. Wyoming winters are hard on service entrances and rural power, so most of what I fix here is weather, age or an undersized panel.

How much does an electrician cost in Gillette, WY?
Service calls carry a $150 first-hour diagnostic charge that covers the first hour on site, and it is credited toward the job if you approve quoted work during the same visit. Time beyond that is billed hourly in quarter-hour increments. Defined scopes of work are quoted as a flat written price instead. Full rates, travel charges and after-hours pricing are published in the Customer Service Agreement.
Do you give written quotes before starting work?
Yes. Every job gets a written quote for a defined scope before any work begins, and that quoted price only changes through a written change order or a concealed condition that could not be seen beforehand. The terms are published on the site so you can read them before you commit.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours electrical service?
Yes. My phone stays on for nights, weekends and holidays. Call 307-660-5886 and I will tell you whether I can get to you and what it costs before I head your way. Emergency and after-hours work is $150 an hour with a one hour minimum, one and a half times my standard service rate. I am one electrician, so availability is not guaranteed and I will turn a call down rather than leave you waiting. More on emergency calls.
