Each project page explains the homeowner's goal, existing conditions, work completed, and final result.
Reno, Nevada
Upgraded an aging and unreliable 100-amp electrical service to a modern 200-amp service so the homeowner could support a hot tub, lap pool, additional garage woodworking circuits, and power and lighting for a detached shed.
Reno, Nevada
Responded to an emergency call for an overhead electrical service mast pulling away from the home, temporarily stabilized the failing equipment, and completed a permanent 125-amp service upgrade with a corrected vertical mast, generator inlet, and listed mechanical interlock.
Sparks, Nevada
Responded to an emergency call for flickering lights and inconsistent power, traced the problem to heat damage at the main breaker and panel bus connection, and completed a true one-for-one 100-amp service-panel replacement.
Washoe County, Nevada
Replaced an aging and completely full 175-amp service panel with new solar-capable 200-amp service equipment, restored the home's original 200-amp service rating, and added a subpanel to provide more breaker spaces for future electrical work.
Reno, Nevada
Installed a Tesla Wall Connector on the exterior side of a Reno garage for convenient driveway charging. The dedicated circuit was routed through the garage and brought out directly behind the charger for a clean installation without exposed exterior raceway or a charging cable passing beneath the garage door.
Spanish Springs, Nevada
Installed a dedicated NEMA 14-50R receptacle in a Spanish Springs garage for a Toyota plug-in hybrid. The homeowner wanted a faster and more convenient home-charging option than the standard 120-volt receptacle she had been using.
Reno, Nevada
Replaced an outdated electrical panel with Zinsco breakers after the homeowner's insurance required updated service equipment. The project included a new code-compliant panel, whole-home surge protection, corrected grounding and bonding, organized wiring, and final inspection approval.
ArrowCreek, Reno, Nevada
What began as an emergency call for exposed energized conductors in an ArrowCreek basement became a much more useful electrical upgrade. After making the hazardous wiring safe, Surge Electric was able to reuse and extend the existing feeder conductors to install a new 40-amp subpanel for dedicated water-softener power, additional receptacles, lighting, and security cameras.
Sparks, Nevada
Troubleshot a rooftop evaporative cooler that had stopped working and found loose, unsupported, and improperly completed electrical connections at the unit and in the attic. Surge Electric corrected the wiring, installed proper enclosures and support, and restored the cooler to normal operation.
Reno, Nevada
Surge Electric was called to a commercial property after two exit signs stopped operating. Troubleshooting above the suspended ceiling revealed improper wiring and electrical connections supplying the fixtures. The unsafe conditions were corrected, the affected circuit was properly reworked, and both exit signs were restored to normal operation.
Reno, Nevada
Replaced five aging and unreliable ceiling fans throughout a Reno home with new modern fixtures. The existing fans had developed several problems, including lights that would no longer turn on and severe wobbling during operation.
Reno, Nevada
Installed new under-cabinet lighting throughout a Reno kitchen to improve countertop visibility and give the space a brighter, more finished appearance. The new low-profile LED lighting provides even illumination across the work surfaces while remaining discreet beneath the cabinets.
Reno, Nevada
Upgraded a Reno garage from individually operated pull-chain light fixtures to brighter connected fixtures controlled from a convenient wall switch inside the home. Because there was no practical access above the finished garage ceiling, the new wiring was routed in clean surface-mounted metal conduit.
Reno, Nevada
Updated lighting fixtures and ceiling fans throughout a Reno home, replacing dated fixtures with coordinated modern designs in the bathrooms, dining area, entryway, bedrooms, living spaces, and exterior locations.
Reno, Nevada
Completed the electrical build-out for a large 40×40 detached garage in Reno, providing power distribution, bright overhead lighting, general-use receptacles, multiple 240-volt circuits, welder outlets, water-heater power, bathroom electrical, and exterior receptacles. The finished installation was inspected and passed.
Reno, Nevada
Completed the electrical installation for a newly built Reno home, including the electrical service, panel, branch circuits, lighting, receptacles, kitchen circuits, bedrooms, bathrooms, and other required electrical systems throughout the house. The project included the complete electrical infrastructure from service equipment through the finished interior devices and lighting.
Reno, Nevada
Installed power for a commercial three-phase 60-amp refrigerated freezer container, repaired the stolen supply cord, and created a cleaner cord-management solution that reduced the exposed cable length and helped discourage repeated theft.
Reno, Nevada
A residential troubleshooting service call that began with several receptacles reported as not working and expanded into multiple electrical concerns throughout the home. Surge Electric identified the cause of the receptacle issue, corrected loose lighting connections, evaluated a sensor-controlled bathroom exhaust fan, and resolved two chirping alarm devices during the same visit.
Reno, Nevada
A Reno service call for lights and receptacles that had stopped working led to the diagnosis of a failed circuit breaker in an older Zinsco electrical panel. Surge Electric replaced the defective breaker, restored power to the affected circuit, and recommended a future panel upgrade due to the age of the existing equipment.
South Reno, Nevada
Responded to an electrical service call in South Reno after a commercial appliance stopped operating properly. Troubleshooting revealed severe heat and arcing damage at the appliance plug and receptacle connection. Surge Electric removed the damaged components, cut the conductors back to clean usable copper, installed new connection devices, and restored a proper electrical connection for the equipment.
Caughlin Ranch, Reno, Nevada
Surge Electric provides recurring quarterly exterior lighting maintenance for this commercial property in West Reno near Caughlin Ranch. During scheduled visits, failed lamps and non-operating fixtures are identified and serviced across walkways, covered entrances, decorative wall lights, and building-mounted wall packs. Replacement lamps are selected to closely match the existing color temperature and light output so the property maintains a consistent, professional appearance instead of ending up with mismatched colors or noticeably different brightness levels.
