Mr Electric of Wichita is a locally owned and operated company committed to providing quality electrical repairs and installations and we provide Emergency Service . We understand our customers’ needs in a way that other electrical service providers cannot. At Mr. Electric of Wichita, our licensed electricians will offer free quotes and up-front pricing, so can be confident in the service you will receive before we start work. And we’ll take the time to answer any questions you might have. Then we’ll leave your home or business neat and clean when we’re through. No matter the size of your project, our expert electricians are committed to your satisfaction. Whether it's hanging a ceiling fan, installing a custom-designed landscape lighting system, or rewiring a commercial structure, call Mr. Electric. We have the power to make things better!

"Working with the Mr. Electric team was a pleasure from start to finish. We had a laundry list of fixes and upgrades we wanted to perform, from the mundane (adding light switches and outlets) to the exotic (setting up niche smart home device relays). Mr. Electric gave us an itemized price list so we could pick what we wanted at this time and have a reference for the rest later. When we had decided what we wanted done, they were very accommodating on the total price for the services requested, and I feel like I got a great deal on a very professional outcome. Along the way, their communication was stellar. They sent a text message before each appointment to let us know they were on the way (never late, I might add), and the text even had a picture of the technician coming out so we knew who to look for. Working with Ben was seamless, and he acknowledged our requests and made suggestions where relevant. In the end, I got great communication and great work for a very reasonable price. If I have any electrical needs in the future, Mr. Electric will be the first call I make."

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)

"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

Appliance Doctor is a family owned business that has been in Wichita since 1988.

"I used this company a couple of times when our heating or a/c went out as they were who the original owners had used. They replaced an a/c unit for us when the old one died, but I later found out when it needed a major repair that a) the unit was not under warranty as the installer hadn't sent in the paperwork for it, but that it had been installed incorrectly, was not up to code, and the coolant had not been added properly, causing us to need an expensive repair only a couple of years later that should have been covered by a warranty, but that we had to pay for out of pocket. Also, when our furnace broke, I was informed that the problem was very serious and potentially deadly and would cost $2000 to fix. Something about the exchange just gave me a bad feeling, so I called for a second opinion. It turned out that the issue he had "found" was fine, and that the real problem was a loose screw that was allowing air into the unit. In two minutes a new screw was screwed in and our problem was fixed for $80. We also discovered that previous work that had been done was again no to code/not done properly and had to be fixed. I would not call this person again. We have had far more success with other businesses, and I feel confident that they are doing the job right."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
