Electrical Panel Upgrades
Older homes in this area along the Patuxent River between Baltimore and Washington DC can have a variety of electrical installation issues. In some cases, upgrading the entire electrical panel can be the key to alleviating tripped or blown breaker problems. You may also need to upgrade your electrical panel to ensure your older home can handle newer technology - such as multiple TVs and computers running at once, or an electric vehicle charging station.

We'll work to ensure the connection to your home is secure, strong, and safe. In most cases, you can go pick out the fixture you'd like, and our licensed electricians can come to your home and install it for you!

Outlet Replacement and Installation
Older homes have notorious outlet issues. Most rooms had one or two electrical outlets - and in today's modern world, that's just not enough. We can come and add high-quality outlets to nearly any spot or room in your house. If you'd like to add exterior outlets for lighting, power for security lighting, or a pool or hot tub connection - we can do that also!
Electric Vehicle Charging Station
In the next decade, it's likely there will be more electric cars on the road than gas-powered ones. That means more and more homeowners are going to consider an at-home electric vehicle charging station a must-have accessory. Get ahead of the neighborhood by installing yours today. Our local electricians near you in Laurel, MD can evaluate your existing electrical system, recommend upgrades if needed, and install your Level 2 electric vehicle charger in Laurel, MD - which can work with Tesla, Honda, Chevy, and other makes and models.
Diagnosing Power Loss by Expert Electrical Contractors in Laurel, MD
When we are called in to diagnose the loss of power to your home, whether it's the entire house, half of the house lost power, or just a few outlets and fixtures, we typically take a few steps to identify the problem. We'll check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If it has, we'll reset it and see if power is restored. If it keeps tripping, that indicates an overload or short circuit on the circuit. If the circuit breaker is working correctly, we may inspect all the outlets and switches in an area without power to look for any signs of damage or loose connections. We'll also check for tripped GFCI outlets. To check these outlets and switches, we'll use a voltage tester, to see if there is power present at each outlet or switch. This can help determine if the problem is just one outlet, or in multiple outlets. If our electricians suspect a wiring issue, we'll inspect the wires in the powerless area to determine if there's damage, a fixture that's faulty, or loose connections causing a short, or burn damage to the wires. We may also use a wire tracer to locate any breaks in the wiring. If those steps fail to diagnose the issue, we will test the main circuit breaker box to see if there are any issues with the breakers or wiring.
Installing Dedicated Circuits near Laurel, MD
There are a few reasons why you might want a dedicated circuit in your home. Firstly, it can help prevent overloading of the electrical system, which is a potential fire hazard. It can also reduce the risk of electrical shock by making sure that only one appliance is connected to the circuit.
Another benefit of having a dedicated circuit is that it can provide consistent power to an appliance, even if other appliances are being used at the same time. This is especially helpful for high-power appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, hot tubs, saunas, pools, or electric water heaters.
Install or Repair Bathroom Fans
Installing or replacing a bathroom exhaust fan is a simple yet essential task that can significantly improve the air quality in your home.
The first step is to choose the appropriate size and type of fan based on the bathroom's dimensions and ventilation needs. Once we have your new fan, we'll need to turn off the power to the existing fan, remove it from the ceiling or wall, and disconnect the wiring. The new fan can then be installed, with the ductwork properly attached and secured, and the wiring reconnected. Finally, turn the power back on, and we're all set to enjoy improved ventilation and a fresher bathroom environment.
Ceiling Fan Installation or Replacement
An electrician to replace or install a ceiling fan in your living room or bedroom will ensure that the fan is safely and properly installed, following all necessary building codes and safety guidelines required near Laurel, MD. They can also provide advice on the appropriate fan size and type for your space and help with any necessary electrical upgrades. Hiring a professional can save you time, effort, and frustration, and ensure that your fan is installed correctly, avoiding potential safety hazards or costly mistakes. Additionally, many electricians offer guarantees or warranties for their work, giving you added peace of mind.

Job Locations and Reviews
-Arrived onsite and did the first whole home inspection that this resident had. I explained in depth what all it involved and then began upstairs, and worked my way down, and to the panel. Throughout the home i found 2 switch’s in the upstairs hall bath, 2 switches in the first floor bath, and one in the laundry room that were old and certainly on their way out. Either the switch was cracked, loose, or making crackling sounds because it was old and barely making a connection. Other then that, after opening both panels i found 1 multifeed for the dish disposal circuit that i pulled the resident aside and was able to explain why it should be addressed. Otherwise, he has some future projects he wants to get done but it sounds like he’s shooting for this summer for that so for now, i wrote up options to do the multi feed correction, and then one option to do it with the switches. For now he wanted to just address the multifeed so that’s what i did. I went downstairs, removed the old 2 15
The reason for today’s visit was to quote adding a 60 amp EV charger circuit below the panel using customer supplied charger. We saw a newer 200 amp QO panel with correct grounding and bonding throughout the home. We recommended on installing a new circuit landing on a 50 amp GFCI breaker and adding whole home surge protection. At this time customer will need time to clear garage and will call back if deciding to schedule.
Reason for today’s visit was to look at an issue with the lights in the house flickering when equipment is turned on. Customer stated that he was having an issue that he recently noticed with lights in the house, flickering more than normal whenever the air conditioning kicks on. I was able to have him turn it on while I had my meter on the main lugs in the panel and found that one of the legs dropped roughly 18 V when the air conditioning was running. Customer has all the appliances in Home that are gas so he has very little load being used. It would appear that there is a loose neutral termination at the power company somewhere outside. I recommended replacing the original split bus panel with a new main breaker panel with all the new code and safety updates. This includes installing whole home surge protection, as well as an emergency disconnect on the outside of the home . I would also recommend installing arc fault protection in areas of the home.
Run dedicated circuit for new shed power from main panel
Installation of new GFCI switch combo located in the primary bathroom. Current device does not properly function when turned on causing lights to flicker.
I feel as if I had a much-needed lesson in home electricity operation from Michael. As a former teacher myself, I felt he did a good a job of explaining what he was about to do, considering I am unfamiliar with many of the technical terms. He and Blaine seemed to be working very efficiently, and I was delighted to have so many little problems corrected within the 5 (or so) hours they were here. I feel that my house is much safer now, and many household tasks will be easier for me to complete than they were before. Thank you, Michael and Blaine! (I don't really feel I can fairly evaluate the cost since my experience is so limited, and I had no other estimates.)
Genny with. “G” was great! She diagnosed my issue and was patient and thorough with explaining solutions.
Michael was very informative and worked hard the entire time he was here.
The cost was more than expected. The service technician was knowledgeable and very nice!
Genny was efficient. She gave excellent customer service too!
Excellent Service!
We had an outdoor outlet that was fixed once before by another electrician and not working again. Alex suggested a fix to our GFIs that we was not cheap, but is a huge convenience because we no longer have frequent outlet outages following rains. He also quickly installed an outdoor light for us. Price is a bit high but done right
Nick provided excellent service in installing my new attic fan. He was knowledgeable about the product and was able to answet all my questions. In addition to the install, he explained the features and helped me set up the app correctly.
My technician, Michael, was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend Haas and Sons.
Dennis worked with the deck company that was installing a deck to move an outdoor circuit to a more suitable location. The outlet move required a bit of work inside my home to bring things up to code. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. His work was excellent.
