"The team at Current Electric was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Work was performed well. Communication and punctuality were top notch. My only minor complaint is they are on the pricier side of electrical contractors. But with most work you get what you pay for."
Current Electric is locally owned and operates from Wauwatosa, WI.  We've been serving SE Wisconsin since 1983.
Our team did all of the electrical design and installation for this beautiful kitchen.

"I can't imagine things going any better than they did. When I first called, the owner answered the phone and I gave him a quick overview of what needed to be done. He came over a couple of hours later to review the job and gave me an estimate. Once I had the cook top, I called to schedule the work and only had to wait a couple of days to get the work done. The electrician arrived on time, completed the work and cleaned up nicely. He was really good about explaining exactly what he was going to do and made sure that I had his cell number in case I had any follow up questions. These guys are now my go to electrical contractor."

"Paul called me within two hours of submitting a service ticket. He listened to the issue I described and gave me a service date within 7 business days. Upon arrival, he identified incorrect wiring in regards to three pole switches. At my request, he made the outlet "hot" all the time and non-dependent upon the master and companion dimmer switches. He was able to access a junction box in our attic to re-purpose the existing wiring and was completed with all work in approximately two hours. He was kind enough to spend fifteen minutes providing free quotes/estimations for a couple other electrical projects that I've been thinking of (i.e. - piping more outlets in my garage, installation of a ventilation fan in a bathroom, etc). 10/10 would recommend for electrical work, I'll definitely be calling him again. I originally booked the first electrician that got back to me through Angie's List, but had to go with North Shore Electric because I was getting a Master Electrician at half the price. Paul is well worth the time and expense!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was great at communicating with me throughout the discussion of what we were looking to achieve & when the project was able to be scheduled. Kevin arrived for the job just as planned & he communicated about the project terrifically, just as Tim had, all throughout the project progression throughout the morning. He had the job completed in three hours & it turned out beautifully!! We are extremely pleased with our new wafer lights that have replaced our old fluorescent kitchen light! We highly recommend Elite Electrical!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

A two-way switch is also called a single-pole or single-throw switch. These switches only have an on-and-off function and only control a single light or series of lights wired together. A three-way switch has no “on” or "off” position and works with a second switch in the circuit to control a single light or light series from two locations.

If you’re interested in exploring other avenues to completely upgrade your electrical panel, it’s also possible to add a sub-panel, which is a smaller panel that connects to what you currently have in place. This way, you can add additional circuits without having to swap out your main panel.

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.
