Donovan Electric | Trusted Local Electrician in Iowa City, IA

Absolutely, and yes, it's very common. Flickering lights often point to loose connections or improper wiring from DIY attempts, which can be a fire hazard. Our electricians safely diagnose the issue, whether it's at a fixture, switch, or within your panel, and perform the correct repair to ensure your home's electrical system is secure and up to code.

Proper grounding is critical for safety; it provides a path for stray electrical current to safely disperse, preventing shock and protecting your appliances. Ungrounded outlets are a common issue in many area homes. Donovan Electric can upgrade your outlets to modern, grounded GFCI types, rewire circuits as needed, and perform a full electrical inspection to ensure your entire system is safely grounded.

Many older Iowa City home panels aren't equipped for the added demand of an EV charger. Our process includes a thorough inspection of your panel, wiring, and overall service capacity. We'll recommend the right solution, which may involve a panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit installation, ensuring your charger operates safely and efficiently without overloading your home's electrical system.
