Our Electrical Services in Hickman
Whether your home is brand new or has been standing for decades, your electrical system needs a team that knows how to work with it safely. We explain what we find before we do anything, keep every job to current code, and make sure the workspace is clean when we leave.
Repair Services
When something goes wrong, whether it is a dead outlet, a tripping breaker, or a switch that feels off, we get to the root of the problem and make a lasting repair. Every electrical repair is covered by our one year guarantee.
Electrical Inspections
A whole home inspection, starting at just $49, takes a thorough look at your wiring, outlets, and panel. It is especially useful for newly purchased homes, homes that have recently been remodeled, or older properties that have not been inspected in several years.
Panel & Breaker Upgrades
A growing household puts more demand on an electrical panel than it was originally designed to handle. We upgrade undersized panels and replace old fuse boxes with modern breakers that can keep up, reducing trips and improving overall safety.
Wiring Work
From adding a circuit for a new appliance or EV charger to rewiring sections of an older Hickman home, we install and replace wiring using safe, code compliant materials and methods.
Lighting Upgrades
We install recessed and LED fixtures, outdoor landscape and security lighting, and smart lighting systems that work with voice assistants and home automation apps. Better lighting makes a real difference in how a home looks and how safe it feels.
Outlets, Switches & GFCIs
We install and repair outlets and switches throughout your home, including GFCI outlet installation in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and any other area near water where they are required by code.
EV Charging Stations
We install Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers for Hickman homes and businesses. We also evaluate your panel at the start to confirm it has the capacity to support the charger without affecting the rest of your electrical system.
Whole House Surge Protection
A surge protector installed at your electrical panel intercepts damaging voltage spikes before they travel through your wiring and reach your appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment. It is one of the most cost effective ways to protect your investment.
Smoke & CO Detector Installs
We install and interconnect smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the right locations so that every alarm in the home activates when one of them is triggered. Proper placement and interconnection are what make these systems truly effective.

Some electrical problems cannot wait, and with Hickman's population growing quickly, we know how important fast, reliable service is. If you encounter burning smells, sparks, unexpected power loss, or anything that does not seem right with your panel, call us right away. Our electricians are available around the clock, dispatching from nearby Lincoln with same day and weekend service so Hickman homeowners always have someone to call. Reach us at (402) 724-5494 any time of day or night.

5 Signs You Should Call a Hickman Electrician
Electrical issues almost always give you a heads up before they become serious problems. The challenge is knowing which signs are worth paying attention to. Here are five that should prompt a call to a professional.
- Breakers that trip again and again: A breaker that will not stay reset is usually telling you that the circuit is consistently overloaded or that the breaker itself has reached the end of its life.
- Lights that dim or flicker when something turns on: When the lights in your home dim every time a major appliance starts up, it often means your wiring has a loose connection or your panel is running low on capacity.
- A smell of burning or hot plastic: If you notice this kind of odor anywhere near your outlets, switches, or electrical panel, stop using that circuit and call us, because overheating wiring is a serious fire hazard.
- Outlets or switch plates that are warm: A warm surface on an outlet or switch cover is not normal under any circumstances and often points to a wiring problem that needs attention sooner rather than later.
- Humming or buzzing sounds from your electrical system: Any steady noise coming from a switch, outlet, or your panel is a red flag for arcing or a loose connection, both of which can become dangerous over time.
