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! 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 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.

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.
The reason for today’s visit with the customer is a spa-pack that she would like to have installed by her outside equipment for the pool. After being introduced the customer showed me the panel location and the area she would like to have the pack installed. After looking at the panel i saw a 00’s Cutler Hammer CH panel with a few panel violations such as double tapped neutrals and double fed breakers. The panel was at capacity and would need to be corrected in terms of double taps in order to install the new spa pack customer is inquiring about. The customer and I talked about possibilities of running the new circuit and i came up with running through the ceiling trenching the sheet rock to ensure proper installation for the spa-pack. After looking at both areas, i went through the home and tested outlets and devices to ensure properly working. I then brought my findings to the customer and stated i would create a few estimates on the things we discussed today. I approached the custom
