Electrical Services in Auburn
Auburn Electric covers six kinds of electrical work across Auburn and Lee County, all scoped and quoted before work starts. Each service below covers what's typically involved, so you know what to expect before booking.
Electrical Repair
Electrical repair covers tracing and fixing the everyday faults that show up in a home's wiring: a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that's gone dead, a switch that doesn't respond, or a fixture that's stopped working. The visit starts by tracing the fault back to its source rather than just resetting the breaker and moving on, since a breaker that trips repeatedly is usually a symptom of a wiring or connection problem further down the circuit. Most repairs are a single visit once the fault is located, and anything that turns out to need more than a repair, like a full circuit replacement, gets flagged before continuing rather than pushed further without your say-so.
Panel Upgrades
Panel upgrades replace an aging or undersized panel with one that has the capacity and open slots a modern home needs, and service upgrades increase the amount of power coming into the house from the utility line. Both call for a permit and inspection, which is built into the scope and quote rather than an extra step you have to chase down separately. A panel that's out of open slots, uses an older brand no longer widely supported, or trips breakers more than it used to is usually the sign this is worth a look. The finished panel is left clean and labeled, with every breaker marked for what it controls so the next person who opens it can tell what's what.
EV Charger Installation
EV charger installation wires in a Level 2 charger on its own dedicated circuit, sized for the vehicle and charging speed you want at home. The visit checks how much open capacity the panel already has before anything is installed, since a charger circuit needs to run at full load without crowding the rest of the house's wiring. Mounting location matters too: the charger needs to reach both the parking spot and the panel without an excessive run, so that gets walked through with you before the job is quoted. Where the panel doesn't have room for a new circuit, that gets addressed as part of the same conversation rather than discovered mid-job.
Lighting Installation
Lighting installation covers recessed lighting, exterior fixtures, and ceiling fans, whether that's replacing something already there or adding a fixture where there wasn't one before. Each job is scoped around the fixture type and the wiring already in place: swapping an existing fixture is usually straightforward, while adding a new fixture or fan where no wiring currently runs takes more planning for how the circuit gets there. Ceiling fans in particular need a fan-rated box behind them rather than a standard fixture box, and that gets checked before installation rather than after the fan is already hung. Multiple fixtures on the same list are typically handled in one visit.
Generator Hookups
Generator hookups wire in a transfer switch and the inlet a portable or standby generator plugs into, so the house can run on generator power without sending electricity back into the utility line, which puts anyone working on the lines during an outage at risk. The hookup is sized around the generator you plan to use and which circuits, or the whole panel, you want it to cover. Portable and standby generators wire in differently, so which one you have or are planning to buy shapes the scope of the job. Once installed, switching over during an outage is a matter of flipping the transfer switch, not running extension cords through a window.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Whole-home surge protection installs a panel-mounted device that guards everything on the circuit, from major appliances to the electronics plugged into ordinary outlets, against voltage spikes coming in from the utility line or triggered by a nearby lightning strike. It mounts directly in the panel rather than at individual outlets, so the protection covers the whole house instead of just whatever's plugged into a single strip. It's a straightforward add-on to a panel upgrade or a standalone visit on a panel that already has room for it. Homes with a lot of electronics or major appliances tend to get the most value out of having one installed.
