Business Background

Owner John has been an electrician since 1994, building a career that spans residential, light commercial, and large-scale industrial projects. He gained extensive experience working for local contractors and as a superintendent on major commercial builds across the state before founding K & J Electric in 2017. What started as a nights-and-weekends endeavor to serve the community has grown into a full-time operation, built on trust and reliable service. The company handles everything from routine outlet repairs and service panel upgrades to complete new construction wiring and generator installations for both homes and businesses in Skowhegan and the surrounding areas. Their approach is grounded in decades of hands-on experience, ensuring electrical work is done safely and correctly the first time.
Q&A
My circuit breaker keeps tripping in my Skowhegan home. What could be the cause?
Frequent breaker trips, especially with modern Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs), are a common issue in older Maine homes. This can be caused by overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or worn wiring. At K & J Electric, we start by diagnosing the specific circuit to determine if it's a simple overload or a sign of a deeper electrical fault. We can repair or replace the breaker, assess your home's wiring, and ensure your electrical panel is properly handling your household's demands to prevent nuisance trips and enhance safety.
Do you handle both small electrical repairs and larger projects like full house wiring?
Absolutely. Our background includes everything from fixing a single outlet to serving as superintendent on major commercial construction projects. For Skowhegan homeowners, this means we're equally prepared to handle a quick light fixture repair or a complete residential service upgrade and rewiring. Whether your project is a simple repair, a kitchen remodel requiring new circuits, or wiring a new home, we have the broad experience to manage it efficiently and to code.
Why would my GFCI outlet in the kitchen or bathroom stop working?
GFCI outlets are designed to shut off power to prevent shock, and they can fail due to age, moisture exposure, or being on a circuit with a fault. In Skowhegan homes, moisture in bathrooms or garages is a frequent culprit. We can quickly test the outlet, determine if it needs a simple reset, a repair, or a replacement, and check the circuit for any underlying issues. Ensuring your GFCIs are functional is a critical part of home electrical safety.
