Key Electrical Services for Northern Nevada

Freeman Electric’s comprehensive service list is tailored to the practical needs of local properties. Their work is organized into essential categories that address common regional concerns.

Electrical Safety & System Upgrades: This includes thorough electrical inspections, panel installation and repair, and wiring services. These are critical for older homes in neighborhoods like Old Southwest Reno or the Newlands area, where original electrical systems may be undersized for modern demands. Upgrading a panel or repairing faulty wiring prevents hazards and is often a prerequisite for home additions or installing major appliances.

Repair, Maintenance & Installations: The team handles all general electrical repairs, along with the installation and repair of outlets and light fixtures. This covers everything from fixing a dead outlet in a Spanish Springs home to installing new energy-efficient lighting in a commercial space near the Reno-Tahoe International Airport corridor.

Specialized Installations: Freeman Electric installs electric vehicle (EV) chargers, a growing need in tech-adjacent communities like Incline Village and areas around the University of Nevada, Reno. They also perform lighting upgrades, which enhance both home aesthetics in areas like Caughlin Ranch and security for commercial properties in downtown Reno.
