01

Electrical Repair and Troubleshooting

Breaker keeps tripping or half the house went dark?

Electrical repair in Gillette, WY starts with finding the actual fault instead of guessing at it. I trace dead circuits, nuisance breaker trips, flickering lights, hot outlets, failed GFCIs and aluminum wiring connections back to the source, then quote the fix in writing before I touch it.

What that usually includes

  • Circuit tracing and load testing
  • Outlet, switch, GFCI and AFCI replacement
  • Breaker and bus bar diagnosis
  • Burning smell, arcing and hot device investigation
  • Thermal imaging on request (Level 1 Certified Thermographer)

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Service Entrance Work

Aging panel tripping breakers, or can't handle a new addition?

A panel upgrade in Gillette, WY is usually the fix when a 100 amp service can no longer carry a shop, a hot tub, an addition or a second heat source. I replace obsolete and recalled panels, upsize the service entrance, re-bond and re-ground the system to current code and label every circuit so the next person who opens that door knows what they are looking at.

What that usually includes

  • 100 amp to 200 amp and 400 amp service upgrades
  • Meter base, mast and service entrance replacement
  • Obsolete and recalled panel replacement
  • Grounding and bonding brought to current code
  • Utility coordination and permit handled in house

Whole-Home and Portable Generator Installation

Wyoming winter takes the power out for two days. Then what?

Generator installation in Campbell County is not a luxury item. A ground blizzard or a summer thunderstorm can drop a rural line for a day or more, and a house on a well loses heat and water at the same time. I size, install and wire whole-home standby generators and portable generator inlets with a proper transfer switch so nothing backfeeds onto the utility line.

What that usually includes

  • Whole-home standby generator installation
  • Portable generator inlet and interlock kits
  • Automatic and manual transfer switches
  • Load calculation and critical circuit selection
  • Gas and propane coordination with your fuel supplier

EV Charger Installation

Bought an EV and the included cord takes all night?

EV charger installation in Gillette, WY comes down to two questions: does the panel have the capacity, and where does the car actually park. I run a load calculation before quoting so you are not paying for a charger the service cannot feed, then install the circuit, the disconnect and the charger to NEC Article 625, including cold-rated exterior work for garages and carports.

What that usually includes

  • Level 2 240 volt charger circuits
  • Load calculation and panel capacity review
  • Hardwired and NEMA 14-50 receptacle installs
  • Garage, carport and exterior mounting
  • Multi-unit and workplace charging

New Construction Rough-In and Finish

Need an electrical sub who shows up on schedule and passes inspection?

I take on new construction electrical for builders and general contractors across Campbell County and the surrounding counties. Because I hold the Wyoming Master license, permits get pulled and work gets signed off without waiting on an outside master of record, which keeps your inspection date instead of pushing it.

What that usually includes

  • Temporary power and service coordination
  • Rough-in, trim and finish
  • Panel, feeder and sub-panel installation
  • Low voltage, data and structured wiring rough-in
  • Inspection scheduling and correction work

Property Management Maintenance and Emergency Call-Out

Tenant calls at 6pm with no power to half the unit?

Property managers in Gillette and Wright need one electrician who knows the buildings and answers the phone. I handle turnover repairs, common area lighting, exterior and parking lot lighting, smoke and CO device replacement and after-hours call-out, with itemized invoices you can pass straight through to an owner statement.

What that usually includes

  • Turnover and make-ready electrical
  • Common area and exterior lighting
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide device compliance
  • After-hours and emergency call-out
  • Itemized, owner-ready invoicing
Set up property coverage

07

Lighting Design, Retrofits and LED Conversions

Paying to light a shop with fixtures from 1994?

LED retrofits are the fastest payback on most commercial buildings and shops in Gillette. I convert fluorescent troffers and high bay fixtures, add controls and occupancy sensing where it makes sense and design residential lighting layouts that do not leave you with dark corners and glare.

What that usually includes

  • Shop and warehouse high bay LED conversion
  • Office troffer and can light retrofits
  • Exterior, security and parking lot lighting
  • Residential recessed and under-cabinet layouts
  • Occupancy sensors, dimming and controls

Commercial Tenant Improvement Electrical

Taking over a space that was wired for a completely different business?

Tenant improvement work means reworking what the last occupant left behind. I re-feed panels, relocate circuits, add dedicated equipment circuits and bring the space up to current code for your occupancy, coordinated around your opening date rather than mine.

What that usually includes

  • Demo of abandoned and unsafe circuits
  • Dedicated equipment and kitchen circuits
  • Panel and sub-panel additions
  • Egress, exit and emergency lighting
  • Coordination with GC, inspector and landlord

09

Home Electrical Inspections

Buying a house and want to know what is behind the panel cover?

A general home inspector opens the panel and looks. An electrical inspection goes further: I check grounding and bonding, breaker and conductor sizing, panel brand and recall history, GFCI and AFCI protection, and the condition of devices and terminations, then give you a written report you can take to a negotiation.

What that usually includes

  • Panel, grounding and bonding evaluation
  • Breaker and conductor sizing check
  • Recalled and obsolete equipment identification
  • GFCI and AFCI protection review
  • Written report with photos
