Our expert electricians will perform a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the root cause, whether it's at the light fixture itself, in the wiring, or at your main electric panel.

An electric panel upgrade involves replacing your home's main electrical service panel (breaker box). Many older Joplin homes have panels that are outdated, improperly grounded, or lack the capacity for modern appliances and electronics, leading to frequent breaker trips and flickering lights. Our licensed electricians at Altman Electric safely install a new, higher-capacity panel with modern safety features. This upgrade corrects grounding issues, provides stable power for all your devices, and is essential before adding major loads like a generator or EV charger, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to current code.

Absolutely. Correcting improper grounding is a critical safety service we provide for Joplin homeowners. Faulty grounding can cause shocks, damage electronics, and prevent safety devices like GFCIs from working. Our repair process starts with a detailed inspection of your wiring, outlets, and electric panel. We then perform the necessary repairs, which may include installing new grounded outlets, updating your panel's grounding system, or even partial rewiring. Ensuring your home is properly grounded protects your family and is a foundational step for any other electrical work.
