We are a family owned and operated business that has been serving the Baltimore, Washington Metropolitan area since 1925. We are committed to providing superior electrical services. The valuable advantages we can offer you are great service, high quality and experienced workers at a competitive price.

"Do not use this company. They will rip you off. The contract was for eight 300W LED 40 ft pole lights, but I caught them redhanded installing 240W. Who does that? Then, they broke my lock and broke into my sprinkler room which I saw on my video which they admitted. Then, Kolb sued me for not paying the bill which I disputed due to lost tools as result of the break-in. Who does that breaking into a customer's sprinkler room and not informing that they did. I had to catch them on my video. Not only that it took over one year to the work proposed work. TOTAL FRAUD. I will be going to court...."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Washington DC, DC

Electrical wiring can last between 50 and 70 years if properly installed and maintained. However, factors like moisture damage and overloading outlets can shorten this lifespan. To extend your wiring's life, unplug electronics when not in use, avoid overloading outlets, and schedule regular electrical inspections every five to ten years.

If your house was built in the 1960s and hasn't been rewired, it likely needs it. Older homes may have outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, which poses fire risks due to flammable insulation. Rewiring ensures safety and may also require updating your circuit panel, outlets, switches, and fixtures. Contact a local electrician to help with your rewiring needs.

Yes, rewiring your house is worth it, especially if your wiring is outdated. It improves safety by reducing fire risks and can increase your property's value. However, you may not need a full rewire. A home inspector can tell you if a partial rewire will bring your home up to code.

Yes, you can sometimes rewire a house without removing walls. Electricians might access wiring through attics, basements, or crawl spaces, or make small holes to run new wires. However, this isn't always possible, and in some cases, removing sections of walls is necessary to ensure the wiring is installed safely and meets code.

A house should typically be rewired every 25 years to maintain safety. Over time, wiring deteriorates, increasing fire risks. Regular electrical inspections every five to ten years help assess the need for rewiring. Staying proactive with maintenance ensures a safe, efficient electrical system and prevents potential hazards before they become serious issues.
