Electrical

Repairs, panel upgrades, remodels, and new construction for homes and light commercial buildings. Electrical emergencies are answered 24/7 by phone.

Electrician inspecting an open electrical outlet in a home

Need an electrician in Eau Claire or Chippewa Falls? Kelly's electricians handle everything from an outlet that quit working to wiring a new house, for homeowners, builders, and small businesses across the Chippewa Valley.

Who shows up at your house. We do not use subcontractors or casual help. Everyone working on your job is a full-time Kelly employee, trained and covered by our insurance. All of our technicians hold a journeyman's or master license, and our helpers are true apprentices who complete the five-year apprenticeship program.

For your home

Electrical work we do for homeowners

Troubleshooting and repairs

Breakers that keep tripping, outlets or lights that stopped working, flickering lights. We find the cause and fix it.

Fuse box and panel upgrades

Still replacing fuses, or adding something big like a heat pump, a hot tub, or a shop in the garage? A new breaker panel or a larger service gives the house the capacity it needs and is safer than an old fuse box.

Service upgrades and buried lines

We install new electrical services on single-family homes, duplexes, apartments, and businesses. A service upgrade is also a good time to move the overhead wires feeding your home underground.

New circuits, outlets, and remodels

Outlets for new appliances, added circuits, and the electrical for a kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel.

Bathroom exhaust fans

Moisture in a bathroom peels paint, warps doors, and grows mold. We install the fan and run the duct work so the damp air actually leaves the house.

Power to garages and outbuildings

Building a garage, shed, or shop? We trench power to it, with equipment that keeps the damage to your lawn to a minimum.

We also install generators, and we wire phone, internet, and TV lines (low-voltage work). Not sure if we do something? Call and ask.

New construction and light commercial

We wire new homes and light commercial buildings, and we handle the electrical for commercial renovations. We work for general contractors and homeowners alike, and our estimating staff works to meet your bid deadline.

We can work from your prints and specifications, or help you work out what the building needs. See our light commercial page for heating and cooling on commercial jobs.

Signs it is time to call an electrician

  • A breaker trips again and again, or you are still blowing fuses
  • Lights flicker or dim when an appliance kicks on
  • An outlet or switch plate feels warm, looks scorched, or buzzes
  • Outlets are loose, dead, or only take two-prong plugs
  • You are adding a big appliance, a heat pump, or an addition

Burning smell, sparks, or a hot panel? Treat it as an emergency. If it is safe to reach the panel, shut off the breaker for that circuit. If anything is smoking or on fire, get out and call 911. Then call us at 715-832-6909, any hour.
