Electrician Las Vegas | Top-Rated Local Electrical Contractors
Your electrical panel wasn't built for 115-degree summers and five AC units running at once.
Las Vegas homes pull triple the amperage of most American cities during July and August. Your main breaker is under constant thermal stress. If your panel is over 15 years old, you're gambling with tripped circuits, voltage sags, and potential electrical fires. We diagnose overloaded systems, upgrade undersized service entries, and install panels that handle peak summer loads without breaking a sweat.
Specialized Electrical Solutions for Las Vegas Homes & Businesses
We handle everything from 200-amp panel upgrades in Henderson ranch homes to three-phase power installations for commercial kitchens on the Strip. Your electrical system either works when you need it, or it fails when the temperature hits 110. We make sure it works.
Residential Electrical Services
Most homes built in Las Vegas before 2005 have 100-amp or 150-amp service. That was fine before everyone added electric car chargers, whole-home generators, and upgraded to dual-zone HVAC systems. Now those panels are maxed out.
We rewire homes with outdated aluminum branch circuits. We replace Federal Pacific panels that fail to trip under fault conditions. We install GFCI protection where older homes never had it. We upgrade your service entry to 200 amps so you can run your pool pump, two air handlers, and an electric dryer without flipping breakers.
Desert heat makes wire insulation brittle over time. UV exposure degrades outdoor conduit. Thermal expansion causes connections to loosen inside junction boxes. We inspect these failure points before they become fire hazards.
If your breakers trip every time the AC kicks on, you've got undersized wire gauge or poor load calculations. We fix it the same day.
Commercial Electrical Solutions
Commercial properties in Las Vegas run hot. Rooftop HVAC units pull massive starting currents. Walk-in coolers cycle constantly. Exterior signage bakes in direct sun for 12 hours a day.
We design and install three-phase power distribution for restaurants, retail spaces, and office buildings. We handle tenant improvement work for property managers who need NEMA 3R outdoor enclosures installed to Clark County code. We troubleshoot voltage drops in long conduit runs across parking structures.
Your building's electrical infrastructure either supports your operations or costs you money in downtime.
24/7 Emergency Repairs
Power failures in Vegas aren't just inconvenient. When it's 105 degrees outside and your AC stops running because a breaker failed, you've got hours before your house becomes unlivable.
We respond to emergency calls for panel failures, tripped main breakers, burned-out meter bases, and electrical shorts. We carry replacement breakers, wire, and connectors in the truck. Most emergency repairs are completed on the first visit.
If you smell burning plastic near your panel or see scorch marks on outlets, shut off the main breaker and call us immediately.
Why Las Vegas Homeowners Trust Las Vegas Electrician for Electrical Safety
We've been working on Las Vegas electrical systems since 1980. We've seen this valley grow from 460,000 residents to over 2.2 million. We've rewired homes as the grid expanded and power demands tripled.
We're not here to upsell you on smart home gadgets or LED retrofits. We're here to make sure your electrical system doesn't start a fire or fail during a heatwave.
Electrical fires in Las Vegas often start because homeowners don't realize their panel is operating at 95% capacity. When your AC compressor starts up, it draws a surge current that can overload an already-stressed breaker. Add in a pool pump and an electric water heater, and you're pushing system limits every single day from June through September.
We perform load calculations based on your actual usage. We open your panel and check for loose connections, corroded bus bars, and signs of overheating. We test your ground fault protection and make sure your service entry conduit isn't cracked from thermal cycling.
Clark County requires specific installations for outdoor circuits, pool equipment, and detached structures. We know those codes. Your electrical work will pass inspection the first time.
Local Knowledge of Nevada's Unique Power Demands
Air conditioning is the single biggest electrical load in every Las Vegas home. A 5-ton AC unit pulls 30 to 40 amps at startup. If you've got two units, you're looking at 60 to 80 amps of starting current hitting your panel simultaneously.
Most homes have 200-amp service. That sounds like plenty until you account for the AC units, electric water heater, dryer, range, pool equipment, and EV charger all running at once. The math stops working.
We install subpanels for pool equipment and outdoor circuits to distribute the load. We upgrade wire gauge on long runs to minimize voltage drop. We replace single-pole breakers with tandem breakers where code allows.
NV Energy has specific requirements for meter bases and service entry installations. We coordinate with them directly so you don't have to deal with utility bureaucracy.
Summer heat causes thermal expansion inside your electrical panel. Breaker connections that were tight in February can loosen by July. Loose connections create resistance. Resistance creates heat. Heat leads to failure.
Transparent Pricing & Same-Day Service
You call us because something's wrong. We show up, diagnose the issue, and tell you exactly what it costs to fix it. No games.
Most service calls are completed the same day. If your repair requires parts we don't stock in the truck, we source them locally and return to finish the job. We don't leave your home without power unless there's a safety reason.
You get a written scope of work before we start.
Serving the Entire Las Vegas Valley & Beyond
We work throughout Clark County.
Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and Paradise
Henderson homes from the '90s often have undersized panels for modern electrical loads. Summerlin properties still suffer from desert climate stress on outdoor components. North Las Vegas has a mix of older construction and newer builds. Paradise and the East Side deal with aging wire insulation in older apartment buildings.
We know the building styles in each area. We know which neighborhoods have aluminum wiring. We know where the old Federal Pacific panels are still installed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Las Vegas Electrical Systems
How do I know if my panel is overloaded?
Your panel is overloaded if breakers trip frequently, especially when the AC turns on. You'll notice dimming lights when large appliances start up. You might smell burning plastic near the panel or see discoloration on the panel cover. If you're constantly resetting breakers, your panel can't handle your current electrical load. We perform a load calculation to determine if you need a panel upgrade or if redistributing circuits solves the problem.
Are my outdoor outlets safe for the monsoon season?
Outdoor outlets in Las Vegas take a beating from UV exposure, dust storms, and monsoon rains. If your outlets don't have weatherproof covers and GFCI protection, they're not safe. Water intrusion into a non-GFCI outlet creates a shock hazard. We install NEMA 3R rated enclosures on all outdoor outlets and verify GFCI protection is functioning. If water pools near your outdoor outlets or you see corrosion on the outlet face, shut off the circuit and call us.
What causes flickering lights during a Vegas heatwave?
Flickering lights during high temperatures usually mean your AC compressor is pulling too much current from the same circuit leg as your lighting. When the compressor starts, it causes a voltage drop that dims the lights momentarily. This can also indicate a loose neutral connection at your meter base or main panel, which is dangerous. High heat causes metal to expand, and poor connections create resistance. We test for voltage drop under load and check all connections at your service entry and panel.
