Electrical in Louisville, KY, one independent local pro
Louisville electrical work splits between Old Louisville and Highlands stock with two-wire runs and 1970s St. Matthews ranches on 100-amp services that trip when a new AC or an EV charger joins the panel. Prospect and Jeffersontown builds are the other end: punch-list devices and the occasional undersized feeder. Tight historic lots change staging. We show a Louisville-adjusted range first and match you with one licensed electrician who pulls the permit and works to code.

Electrical services in Louisville
Electrical Panel Upgrade
An old 100-amp or fuse panel can't safely carry an EV charger, heat pump, or addition, and some older panel brands are a known fire risk. A licensed electrician upgrades you to modern 200-amp service to code, permit and inspection included. See your range to start.
See cost & get matchedOutlet & Switch Installation
Too few outlets means power strips and extension cords, an everyday fire hazard. A licensed electrician adds outlets, upgrades to GFCI where code requires, and swaps in dimmers or smart switches safely. See your range, then get matched with one independent pro.
See cost & get matchedLighting Installation
Good lighting transforms a room, and recessed and fixture upgrades are among the highest-return improvements you can make. A licensed electrician installs it to code, including fan-rated boxes for ceiling fans. See your range, then get matched with one independent pro.
See cost & get matchedEV Charger Installation
A Level 2 home charger fills your EV overnight instead of the slow trickle of a standard outlet, but it needs a dedicated 240V circuit, and often panel capacity, done right. A licensed electrician sizes it, pulls the permit, and installs to code. See your range to start.
