He also suggested reasonable alternatives to existing electrical concerns. He is on my speed dial list for all future work and when someone ask for an qualified Electrician."

"I was in a time crunch due to selling my house and repeat inspection. I had called at least ten electricians/contractors and this company is the ONLY company that followed through. Martin had arrived and promptly started working and then his partner even came to finish our house on the weekend. I cannot recommend this company enough. Great service and price, so thankful for them."

"Called in Current Electric for an emergency call as we had power out in one room, but no sign of a thrown breaker in the panel. Seemed to be some discrepancy with how the emergency call was dispatched; we called Friday and were told we needed to call later to reach the tech on-call. No, we are calling now for that. No call back on Friday evening, but Saturday we received a call from the on-call electrician asking if we still needed service -- yep, so he came out the same day. Once he was on site, he quickly diagnosed the issue (loose wire connecting to neutral bar causing arcing) and fixed it up quickly. No issues with the quality of service that Circuit provided once we had a tech on-site. Cost listed below takes into consideration the fact it was charged as emergency service, so does not truly reflect cost of parts/labor (which would have been lower during a normal priority call)."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was highly professional and punctual in fact they showed up an hour early. I wasn’t able to be home while Tim was performing the work. But he kept me in the loop the entire time. He advices a better alternative to solve my electrical outlet needs. Tim was very responsive with addressing all of the questions I asked via text leading up to the install day. Over the last couple of years I’ve had electrical work done by three other electricians two of which were good. Overall the level of service Tim provided was above and beyond."

"I enjoyed the Electrican Yuri K. He explained every step of the type of work that I would need to upgrade my electrical panel and that if needed I could get the work financed it’s quite a bit, but I know some upgrades are definitely needed in a 60-year-old house ABC has always been very polite very fast to respond to whatever my problems have been here at my home. I’ll recommend this company to anyone."

"Elliott does great work for a great price. He installed a new 100 amp breaker box and updated some of the house wiring to accommodate the new service. He also wired the newly renovated basement with all the wiring and installed all the outlets, switches and drop ceiling LED lights that have dimmer capability. He is meticulous in what he does."

"We had an emergency situation. The power in our house was reduced significantly. Turns out our ground wire melted and was making the entire box overheat. Within 30 mins of going onto home advisor i was contacted by Heather from On Phase electric. She had an electrician at my house within 30 mins. Dan diagnosed the problem and gave me an exact upfront price. He was able to give us minimal power for a day until they could get out and fix the problem. They showed up on time, corridnated with We Energies and the building inspector, and had us completely updated and up to code. Thanks to Dan and his crew on a job well done."

"Paul was punctual. Physically, he was appropriately dressed and well-groomed. Personality, he was courteous and professional. Aptitude, he had a clear algorithm to tackle the problem, and he articulated clearly at each step. Due to the pandemic of the coronavirus, social distance was respected. Even though it took a bit longer to rectify the issues, Paul was meticulous and methodical with his dedication to the task at hand. I would not hesitate to call North Shore Electric, LLC for any electrical issues in the future. In addition, I would recommend Paul to all my family and friends. Lastly, this review was NOT compensated or solicited by anyone. Whenever I experienced great service at a reasonable price, I want to help spread the good news. Full disclosure, I paid $240 for getting my ceiling fans, lights, and outlets to work again. Extremely fair!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Milwaukee, WI

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
