Q&A

What should I expect during an electrical inspection from Universal Electric?

Our licensed electricians conduct thorough inspections to assess the safety and functionality of your home or business's electrical system. We check for code compliance, potential hazards like faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, and the overall condition of your panel and components. For Omaha homeowners, we pay special attention to signs of lightning surge damage, a common local issue, which can weaken systems over time. We provide a clear, detailed report of our findings and practical recommendations to ensure your electrical system is safe and reliable.

Can Universal Electric handle both the installation of new outdoor lighting and the repair of existing fixtures?

Absolutely. Our team is experienced in all aspects of outdoor lighting, from designing and installing new landscape or security lighting systems to troubleshooting and repairing existing fixtures that have been damaged or have stopped working. We understand how Nebraska weather can affect outdoor electrical components and ensure all installations are properly sealed and rated for outdoor use, providing durable and effective lighting solutions for your Omaha property.

We experience frequent storms in Omaha. Can you help with generator and transfer switch issues?

Yes, generator installation and repair is a core service for us. We specialize in installing standby generators and their automatic transfer switches, which are critical for Omaha homes during power outages. A common local problem we address is transfer switch malfunction, which can prevent your generator from powering your home correctly. Our electricians are trained to diagnose and repair these switches efficiently, and we ensure your entire backup power system is installed to code and operates safely when you need it most.

Local Business Overview

Universal Electric has been a trusted electrical partner in Omaha since 2003. Founded by Ricky Peterson, a journeyman who earned his contractor's license and discovered a passion for the varied challenges of service work, the company grew from a one-man operation to a dedicated team. Rick started with his license in 2003, his brother Brian joined in 2005, and today, a crew of licensed electricians serves Nebraska and Western Iowa. With deep roots in both commercial construction and residential service, we bring a comprehensive skill set to every job, from high-voltage projects to home lighting. We're a locally owned, non-union shop focused on safety, professionalism, and building lasting partnerships with our Omaha neighbors, available 24/7 for both planned projects and urgent repairs.
