Our electricians recommend and install whole-home surge protection at your main electrical panel, which acts as a first line of defense for all your appliances and electronics. We also inspect and can upgrade your existing circuit breakers and panel to ensure they are properly rated to handle Yankton's electrical loads and can trip safely during an overload, preventing damage.

Yes, we frequently see well-intentioned DIY repairs that can create fire hazards or code violations. The safest approach is to have a licensed professional assess the situation. We'll correctly diagnose the issue—whether it's faulty wiring, a bad connection, or a problem with the circuit itself—and perform a proper, permanent repair or replacement of the outlet, switch, or wiring. This ensures your family's safety and that the repair meets all local electrical codes.

We handle the complete installation, including connecting it to your home's electrical panel via a transfer switch. This ensures a safe, automatic backup power source that kicks in during an outage, protecting your sump pump, refrigerator, heating system, and sensitive electronics from damage and disruption.
