Real Electrical Work in Milwaukee Homes


Kevin W. called to have a solar system installed on his home and garage. We built three separate arrays totaling 18 REC 420-watt solar panels across two roof sections on the home and one on the garage, installed 18 Enphase microinverters, and wired in an Enphase 10 kWh battery and combiner inside the garage. The system passed inspection and was fully connected and operational before we left.
Jake C. called to add heat to his finished basement which had no heat source. We installed two 71-inch baseboard heaters, a 35-inch unit with a built-in thermostat in the basement bathroom, and a Mysa Wi-Fi controllable wall thermostat. Everything was wired to a new dedicated 20-amp 240-volt circuit and confirmed working properly before we left.
Scott S. called to have his basement wired during a renovation. We installed two new circuits with 10 recessed can lights throughout the living and hall areas, wired three-way switches at each entry point, relocated and added switches for the existing basement light and stairwell, and ran two new 20-amp outlet circuits with 10 new outlets in the open stud walls. Everything was permitted and inspected before we left

Real Reviews From Milwaukee Homeowners

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently got a whole home solar and battery system installed by team Austin, and I’m absolutely blown away at the craftsmanship they did. From the design expertise of the whole system from Darren to the flawless installation by Michael and Garrett, my expectations, which were already high based on prior excellent electrical work Darren’s team had done, was completely blown out of the water. They take their craft seriously, no matter the size of the project. While my install was the “Cadillac” of solar systems, my prior electrical work performed by them tells me that any size project they put their full expertise and craftsmanship into. Kudos to team Austin, I’m thoroughly impressed and then some. Thank you!

Michael was fantastic. He was fast, efficient, and clearly communicated every step of the process. Would highly recommend. Will definitely book him for any future electrical needs.

Excellent Job – they were able to make it the same day I called. The electrician was able to solve and update 45 year electrical work in the kitchen that was not up to 2025 standards. Solved every problem in less than 2.5 hours.

Common Questions Milwaukee Homeowners Have About Electrical

Who’s a licensed, well-reviewed electrician in Milwaukee?
Austin’s licensed electricians work out of the W Park Place shop and have wired and upgraded Milwaukee homes since 1939. In a city full of century-old houses, electrical is no place to gamble on a handyman or a rushed crew hitting a quota. You get a genuinely licensed tradesperson, work to code, pricing before the job, advice not driven by commission, and thousands of five-star reviews behind the name.
How serious is my electrical problem — does it need attention now?
Some things can’t wait: a burning or hot-plastic smell, a warm outlet or switch plate, breakers tripping repeatedly, scorch marks, or whole-house flickering — treat those as urgent fire risks. Milwaukee’s older homes, some still with knob-and-tube or early wiring, are exactly where these show up. Austin will tell you honestly what’s a hazard versus what can wait, and won’t invent an emergency to run the bill.
What does an electrician do on a service call?
They trace the fault to its source — a failing breaker, a loose or overloaded circuit, aging wiring or grounding — instead of just resetting it. You get a clear read on what’s safe and what isn’t, plus pricing before the work, all to code. Troubleshooting, panel and service upgrades, wiring, fixtures, well-pump and water-system circuits — in-house, no subs.
What does electrical work cost in Milwaukee?
Upfront pricing you approve first — you never pay for something you didn’t okay. Because the techs earn the same regardless of the job, there’s no incentive to oversell a panel or rewire you don’t need.
Do Milwaukee homes have common electrical issues?
Very much so. Milwaukee’s older housing often hides knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded outlets, undersized service, and panels long past their prime — fine until you add a hot tub, an EV charger, central air, or remodel a kitchen. Austin works these century-old homes constantly, so they know how to modernize the electrical safely and to code without gutting the house.
