Residential Electrician

Ancient people were aware of electricity.  There is some evidence of pottery found 2000 years ago that indicates they knew how to harness it.  Even with that knowledge, it wasn’t until the 1920’s that electricity became ubiquitous in American homes.  Since nearly all American residences operate with electricity, having an electrician on hand in times of need is an asset.  Cedar Rapids Electrician Pros offers residential and commercial electrical services you can afford.  The breadth of our offerings extends to single family homes, and multi family complexes.  We provide a lifetime warranty for all repairs, parts and appliances.
 
Single Family Homes
It’s not often that things go wrong with your electricity, but when they do, it’s good to know you have someone you can count on.  A power outage, surges and constant fuse blowouts are an inconvenience and can be indicative of a larger issue.  You can certainly Google the symptoms to reach a determination on your own.  But the only way to know for sure is to contact a professional.  While it is not illegal to do your own electrical work in the state of Iowa, we don’t recommend it.  There is too much at stake to play Russian roulette with your home.   
 
Multi Family Homes
Cedar Rapids Electrician Pros can be your official electrical contractor.  There is no need to keep an electrician on staff.  We don’t require benefits, vacation days or time off.  Call us when you need us.  It’s best to use the same electrician so that she can become familiar with your property and its unique needs.  If there is an issue with the washer and dryer, we can arrive within 24 hours to remedy the situation.  Is the dishwasher and garbage disposal acting up?  Not to worry, a master electrician knows just what to do.  Landlords, property managers and tenants are welcome to contact us 24/7 for emergency electrical repairs.
 
A Professional Approach
To become a master electrician, one must first complete an apprenticeship.  Four years in a class room and 2000 hours annually of on the job training.  The next level is to become a journeyman.  Four thousand hours of work experience, roughly 2 years is required before one can qualify to take the master electrician license exam.  By the time one of our electricians arrives at your home for a comprehensive service, she has already garnered a minimum of 6 years perfecting her skills.  Sure, there are a few things you can do yourself.  But nothing beats the professional approach. 
 
Permits
Whether you decide to do the electrical work yourself or hire a professional, it must pass inspection.  If not, you can risk fines and worse.  Every year, there are over 51,000 electrical fires in the United States.  Death and destruction could be mitigated by hiring someone that has a wealth of knowledge in the field.  When electrical work is executed by a novice, it’s not likely that you’ll pass inspection the first time.  Hiring a master electrician versed in local codes is a guarantee that your money will be well spent.  Less time is required when you get it right the first time.
