  • Electrical panel looks outdated
  • Adding a Level 2 EV charger

Breaker Keeps Tripping?

A breaker that repeatedly trips is usually telling you something on the circuit needs attention. Possible causes can include an overloaded circuit, moisture, damaged wiring, connected equipment, or another electrical fault.

The right approach is to find the cause rather than simply replacing the breaker with a larger one.

Does Your Electrical Panel Need Attention?

Older electrical equipment does not automatically mean the entire system needs to be replaced. Sky's evaluates the panel's condition, existing service size, electrical demand, and what you plan to add before recommending a panel replacement or service upgrade.

Many homes around Columbus have older 100-amp electrical services. Whether that needs to change depends on the home and its electrical demand.

Planning to Install a Level 2 EV Charger?

Before adding a Level 2 EV charger, the existing electrical panel and service should be evaluated to determine whether the home has enough available capacity.

Some homes can support the charger with the existing electrical system. Others may need additional electrical work.

Planning a Remodel, Garage, or Workshop?

Electrical work is easier to plan before walls and finishes are complete.

Our electricians look at the existing panel capacity, current wiring, new electrical loads, and how the finished space will actually be used before circuits are added.

Electrical Work in Columbus, Nebraska

Electrical projects can involve more than simply installing equipment. Depending on the project, homeowners and businesses may need to consider:

  • Existing electrical capacity
  • Electrical panel condition
  • Circuit requirements
  • Grounding and circuit protection
  • Applicable electrical requirements
  • Permitting
  • Inspection

Nebraska generally uses the 2023 National Electrical Code as its minimum electrical standard, subject to Nebraska-specific laws, amendments, and exceptions. Electrical inspection jurisdiction can also depend on the property and type of project.

Sky's can explain what applies to the specific electrical work being completed.

We had an electrical issue last night, so I reached out to Sky Electrical, and they were able to come out the very next day in a timely manner. He worked efficiently, quickly diagnosed the problem, and kept me informed throughout the process. Even with me being out of state, he was still able to get everything taken care of without any issues. Excellent service, great communication, and very professional. I highly recommend Sky Electrical for anyone needing reliable electrical work!
