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.
Lighting Replacement & Installation
If you have an existing fixture you'd like upgraded/updated - or you'd like to add lighting to a dark room - our electricians can install your fixtures safely and efficiently. 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! If you're not sure what to get - give our local electricians near you a call to schedule the time, and we can discuss what to look for in a new fixture - then we'll come to update your home with great new lighting!
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
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.

Genny was efficient. She gave excellent customer service too!
Today’s visit was for circuit tripping when daughter plugged into a receptacle in her bedroom. While doing the assessment, we saw that the circuit was on an arc fault breaker. These are very sensitive and can trip very easily. We also saw that the devices throughout the home were very old and some are loose when plugging into. They should also be tamper resistant, which they are not as of right now. In the panel, there is no surge protection. Customer also wanted quote to replace wall sconce in loft area. Please see attached to get these taken care of for you.

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.
Michael Wendler was an absolute total professional while at our home. He was courteous, efficient & communicated exactly what he thought the problem was & how he was going to approach it. He was as customer service oriented as anyone could be & should teach classes on how to interact with customers inside their home. As a result we will be having much more work done in our home by Hass & Sons. Also kudos to "Alex" & "Jenny" for their efforts on our behalf as well. They were also extremely professional! Finally I would like to thank "Krysta" for her professional manner over the phone (first impressions DO count) as this is not something one typically experiences anymore but in this case she represented Haas & Sons with excellent communication skills & a great demeanor! Thank you to everyone involved! Craig.
Genny was great. Professional and made me laugh when she identified the problem. This is the company you want for electrical work.
I'm never disappointed with the quality of the service. Great company for your electrical needs.
Alex has done a couple projects for us. He’s a skilled electrician (also lucky he says), always safe, explains all the options, completes each job when and as promised. He has become our go-to electrician.
