"We called Mr. Electric to provide a quote for removal of existing and installation of a new light fixture in two-story foyer. They were very responsive and sent out a technician within a couple of hours to provide a quote. Once the technician arrived, he proceeded to complete a in-home survey of our electrical panel, exterior electric box and electric meter. He then reviewed the scope of work and came back inside within about 10 minutes. He went over the home inspection and then provided the quote that’s where things went sideways. The quote was $1169! 😳 Again, that is to remove an existing light fixture in a foyer and replace it with a more current contemporary styled one. We explained that the quote was excessive based on our estimates from other providers. He indicated that they had just revised their pricing and that their pricing was in line the other major electric service providers. Needless to say, we explained to the technician that we would not be going with their services due to the price point."

"Really nice and serviced same day as quote. Even took the time show us how the electrical wiring was set up in our older home so we know how to handle the issue ourselves the next time we want to change out light/fan fixtures. Not many companies would be willing to do that anymore!"
A win for the owners of this panel change.
Ready to label and get inspected
This is guaranteed to provide adequate electric needed to provide heating and cooling on demand.
Panels are installed and look great.
Without yearly inspections of your electrical services in your home this could happen to you. This is the panel that failed and we upgraded.

"Tom was outstanding. He was professional, personalble and knowledgable. He was an excellent communicator that returned e-mails and phone calls promptly. We had electric done throughout our kitchen and bathrooms. He gave a precise estimate of what needed to be ordered and he came out with his 2 electricians to walk through the job and insure they had all their materials. I would HIGHLY recommend Tom and Northern Ky Electrical contractors. We will definately call them for additional work. Debbie Orcena"

"There was an electrical short at the back of my range due to improper installation when it was purchased. Mark Mason quickly diagnosed the problem, drove to get the correct part and now my range is as good as new! Great service!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Newport’s humid summers and chilly winters require electrical components that can withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations. Because thunderstorms are common in the Ohio Valley, surge protection and reliable grounding are essential. In flood-prone Newport areas, consider installing elevated panels and using water-resistant materials. Scheduling electrical work in spring or fall helps avoid extreme weather and ensures safer, more efficient installations.

Helpful?

After finishing electrical work in Newport, it’s important to promptly schedule a final inspection to confirm compliance with local codes. Retain all permits and inspection records, especially if your property is in a historic district. Transitioning to ongoing maintenance, test GFCI outlets monthly due to Newport’s humidity, and arrange annual electrical system checks before peak summer and winter seasons. Review surge protection yearly, as storms are frequent.

Helpful?

Homes in Newport built before the 1980s, particularly those in historic neighborhoods or near the river, often benefit from electrical upgrades. Signs your home may need work include an old fuse box, outdated panels, frequent breaker trips, or if the house is over 40 years old. Insurance providers may require electrical improvements in older Newport homes to maintain coverage eligibility.

Helpful?

Common mistakes in Newport include skipping required permits, overlooking historic district guidelines, and using materials unsuited for the area’s humidity. Homeowners sometimes neglect surge protection during frequent storms or fail to elevate electrical panels in flood-prone neighborhoods. Attempting complex electrical upgrades in older Newport homes without a qualified contractor can result in safety hazards and code violations.

Helpful?

If you notice flickering lights, frequent outages, warm outlets, or burning odors in your Newport home, these are clear signs to schedule electrical work. Rising utility bills or notifications from your insurance company may also indicate the need for upgrades. Pay attention to issues that worsen during heavy AC or heating use, or when planning to sell or renovate a historic property.
