Our Electrical Services in Crete
With most of your wiring tucked out of sight, having one experienced team handle the whole system keeps small problems from turning into big ones. We walk you through your options before anything starts and build every job to current code.
Troubleshooting & Repair
When something is off, whether it is a dead outlet, a breaker that will not stay reset, or a switch that feels warm, we find the root cause and fix it for good. Every repair is covered by our one year guarantee, so you can count on the work holding up.
Electrical Safety Checks
A whole home inspection, starting at just $49, tells you exactly what shape your wiring, outlets, and panel are in. It is a worthwhile step before buying a home, after completing a renovation, or every few years as a matter of routine.
Service Panel Upgrades
Outdated panels and old fuse boxes struggle to meet the demands of modern homes, which leads to nuisance trips and safety concerns. We upgrade or replace them with modern breakers that give your system the capacity it needs.
Home Wiring & Rewiring
Whether it is a single new circuit or a complete rewire of an older Crete home, we install safe, code compliant wiring that meets today's standards. Aluminum wiring from older construction gets special attention during any inspection or project.
Lighting Installation
From recessed and LED fixtures to landscape lighting, motion sensor security lights, and smart systems that connect to Alexa or Google Home, we upgrade both the inside and outside of your property with better, more efficient light.
Receptacles & Switches
New outlets for a kitchen remodel, GFCI outlet installation near water, a stubborn switch that needs replacing, we handle all of it neatly and to code so the finished product looks and works the way it should.
EV Charging Setup
We install Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers for homes and businesses throughout Crete. Before we begin, we also check your panel to confirm it can support the charger's power requirements without an upgrade.
Whole Home Surge Defense
A surge protector installed at your panel acts as a first line of defense against voltage spikes caused by storms, utility grid issues, or large appliances cycling on. It is one of the simplest ways to protect your electronics and appliances long term.
Detector Installation
We install and interconnect smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home so that when one alarm triggers, every alarm sounds. Proper placement and interconnection give your family the most warning time possible.

5 Signs It Is Time to Call a Crete Electrician
Most electrical problems give you a warning before they become serious. The trouble is those warnings are easy to write off as minor quirks until something goes wrong. If you notice any of these five signs, it is worth getting a professional out to take a look.
- Breakers that trip repeatedly: A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something is wrong, whether it is an overloaded circuit, a short, or a breaker that has worn out and needs replacing.
- Lights that flicker or dim when appliances start: This usually points to a loose connection somewhere in the system or a panel that does not have enough capacity to handle the load.
- A burning or hot plastic smell: If you catch a hot plastic odor near an outlet, a switch, or your electrical panel, treat it as urgent because overheating wiring is a real fire risk.
- Outlets or switch plates that feel warm: A warm outlet or switch cover is not normal and often means something is wrong with the wiring or connections behind the wall.
- Buzzing or humming from outlets or the panel: Electrical components should operate silently, so any persistent noise is worth investigating before it turns into something more serious.
