How long have you been in business?

Wirefox Electric was founded in 2018, and since then, we have been providing reliable electrical services with a focus on customer satisfaction and high-quality workmanship. With over 40 years of combined experience, we are a trusted name in the community.

Do you offer electrical inspections?

Yes, we offer comprehensive electrical inspections for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need a safety inspection or a pre-purchase inspection, our team will thoroughly assess your system and provide you with a detailed report of any issues or recommendations.

How do I prepare for an electrical service appointment?

To prepare for an electrical service appointment, ensure that the work area is accessible and clear of any obstacles. If necessary, turn off power to specific circuits before our team arrives. We’ll handle the rest and provide a safe, efficient service.

Do I need to move furniture or empty rooms before electrical work?

In most cases, no. Please make sure we have clear access to the electrical panel, affected outlets/switches, and any equipment we’ll be servicing. If larger items need to be moved for safety or access, WireFox Electric will let you know in advance and help coordinate as needed.

Is it safe to stay in my home while you’re working?

Often yes, depending on the scope. We may temporarily de‑energize certain circuits; we’ll tell you exactly which areas are affected and for how long. Your WireFox Electric technician will outline any restricted zones to keep everyone safe.

My lights are flickering or a breaker keeps tripping—what should I do?

First, avoid overloading the circuit (unplug non‑essential devices) and do not reset a breaker repeatedly. Call WireFox Electric; we’ll diagnose potential causes like loose connections, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, or appliance issues and provide a safe, code‑compliant fix.

How do you handle older wiring such as knob‑and‑tube or aluminum?

Our licensed electricians assess the condition, load, and safety risks, then recommend targeted repairs, pigtailing, or a full upgrade when appropriate. We’ll review options, costs, and timelines so you can choose the safest, most durable solution.

What can a power surge or lightning strike damage?

Surges can harm sensitive electronics, appliances, and even wiring or breakers. WireFox Electric can install whole‑home surge protection and verify grounding/bonding to reduce risk and protect your investment.

How long do typical electrical repairs or upgrades take?

Many service calls finish the same day. Larger projects—like panel upgrades or partial rewires—may take 1–3 days, while full home rewires or major commercial work can take longer. We’ll provide a clear schedule up front.

What services does WireFox Electric provide?

We specialize in panel upgrades, troubleshooting, EV charger installs, lighting, surge protection, whole‑home generators, rewiring, and smart panels, among other residential and commercial electrical services. Our licensed team focuses on safe installations, clean workmanship, and reliable performance.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections?

Yes. We obtain all required permits and schedule inspections with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). We also meet NEC/local code requirements and coordinate final inspections so your project is fully compliant before sign‑off.

Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?

Yes. Master Electrician #13887. This gives you confidence that your project is handled by qualified professionals who stand behind their work.

How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?

Our emergency team is available 24/7 and typically arrives within 1 day. Fast response helps prevent hazards like shock or fire and reduces downtime.

How do you diagnose electrical problems?

We use professional test equipment—multimeters, circuit tracers, receptacle testers, and thermal imaging when needed—to pinpoint faults accurately. That data informs a precise, cost‑effective repair plan.

What do you do to prevent issues from coming back?

We correct root causes (not just symptoms), balance loads, tighten/replace connections, and use listed, code‑compliant materials. We label panels and provide usage tips to keep your system reliable.
