Request a Free EstimateJohnson Woods, west of Highland off 35th Street, is one of the upper-bracket single-family pockets in town: bigger homes, bigger lots, and mature trees over most of both. Houses at this scale carry more electrical system per address, and the service calls here reflect it.
The recurring projects are comfort and resilience: standby generators sized for larger homes, hot tub circuits, exterior and landscape lighting across long approaches, and subpanels for finished basements. Bigger houses also mean longer circuit runs, which makes surge protection at both panel and subpanel a sensible default.

Common questions
We lose power more than friends in newer subdivisions do. Why, and what helps?
Mature trees and overhead lines keep company, and wooded neighborhoods feel every storm a little more. The real fix for the consequences is standby power: an automatic generator sized either for essentials or the whole house, with a transfer switch that takes over in seconds. We run the load numbers for both configurations on your actual house and quote them side by side, so you can decide how much outage you want to feel.
Our house has a main panel and a subpanel. Does that complicate new work?
It mostly helps, because a subpanel means spare capacity was planned at some point. What matters is that both panels are sound, labeled, and properly bonded, which we verify before landing anything new. One detail owners miss: surge protection works best installed at each panel, not just the main one. We check all of it during the estimate walkthrough and note anything worth fixing while the covers are off.
