Why Des Moines properties call a local electrician

Des Moines is plains country: big sky, steady wind, and summer storms that arrive quickly. Wind-blown dust works into outdoor equipment, hail damages exterior fixtures, and lightning surges are a regular cause of failed electronics.

Most properties in Union County get their electricity from your local utility or rural electric cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

Our panel upgrades covers all of Des Moines, along with neighboring Capulin, Folsom, Grenville, and Gladstone.
