Residential Electrical Services
Safe.
Honest.
Family-Focused.
Modern homes often need more than basic electrical service. From panel upgrades and rewiring to smart home systems and dedicated circuits for workshops or home‑based businesses, Bremer Electric delivers clean, code‑compliant solutions built for higher‑demand living. Our residential work combines safety, reliability, and professional craftsmanship — supporting everything from everyday comfort to specialized equipment and future expansion.
Our Residential Services
Electrical Service & Panel Upgrades (100–400+ Amp)
Homes with modern appliances, EV chargers, workshops, or home‑based businesses often exceed the capacity of older electrical panels. We upgrade residential services to 200, 300, 400 amps — and higher when required — ensuring safe, reliable power for high‑demand equipment such as welders, CNC machines, air compressors, HVAC systems, and future additions.
Whole‑Home Rewiring
Aging wiring systems — including knob‑and‑tube, aluminum, or deteriorating conductors — create safety risks and limit the reliability of your home’s electrical system. We perform whole‑home rewiring with a structured, minimally disruptive approach that brings your property up to current code and supports today’s electrical demands.
Outlet & Switch Installation
Whether adding outlets in a workshop, upgrading to tamper‑resistant receptacles, or installing USB and smart switches, we complete every installation cleanly and to code. Proper placement and professional wiring eliminate extension‑cord hazards and improve everyday convenience.
Ceiling Fan & Lighting Installation
From ceiling fans to recessed lighting, pendants, chandeliers, and under‑cabinet lighting, we install fixtures securely and wire them correctly. We can add new switch locations, dimmers, and smart controls to give you the lighting performance your home or workshop needs.
Smart Home Automation (Lighting, Thermostats, Security)
We design and install integrated smart home systems that actually work together — lighting, climate control, security cameras, door locks, and whole‑home audio. The result is a seamless, reliable system that enhances comfort, safety, and convenience.
EV Charger Installation
A Level 2 home charging station requires proper panel capacity, a dedicated circuit, and correct installation. We handle the full process — load assessment, wiring, mounting, and final connection — ensuring safe, reliable charging every night.
Whole‑Home Surge Protection
A single surge can damage appliances, electronics, HVAC equipment, and shop tools. We install whole‑home surge protection at the panel level, providing a robust layer of defense that plug‑in strips can’t match.
Dedicated Circuits for Workshops & High‑Demand Equipment
Homes with woodworking tools, welders, CNC machines, air compressors, or home‑based businesses often need dedicated circuits to operate safely and reliably. We install properly sized circuits, outlets, and subpanels for high‑demand equipment in garages, basements, and outbuildings — ensuring stable power, fewer trips, and long‑term electrical safety.
Hot Tub & Spa Wiring
Hot tubs and spas require dedicated circuits, proper GFCI protection, and compliant disconnects. We handle the complete installation safely and to NEC code — whether the equipment is on a deck, patio, or in a detached building.
Smoke & CO Detector Installation
Hardwired, interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors provide the highest level of protection. We install and replace detectors throughout your home, ensuring proper placement, communication between units, and compliance with current safety standards.
Doorbell & Intercom Systems
From wired video doorbells to whole‑home intercom systems, we install reliable, hardwired solutions that don’t depend on Wi‑Fi strength. You get clear communication, dependable alerts, and long‑term performance.
Troubleshooting & Electrical Repairs
Dead outlets, flickering lights, buzzing panels, and tripping breakers are signs of deeper electrical issues. We diagnose the root cause using professional testing methods, explain our findings clearly, and complete repairs that restore safety and reliability — the right fix, the first time.
“When others guess, we diagnose.”

To ensure transparency and fairness, this guarantee applies under the following
conditions:
- Valid only for first-time diagnostic visits related to a specific issue

“Dave Bremer did an exceptional job when installing our electrical wires, fixtures, and outlets in our partial basement renovation this Summer 2025! He was friendly, approachable, informative, organized, clean, and reasonably priced. I could totally trust him to start, show up and complete the job at the time that he told us.
He always cleaned up the worksite when he was done. He explained clearly what needed to be done so we could understand it. He also went the extra mile for us by pre-purchasing some of the supplies we needed at Menards when we did not know what to get. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing electrical installation or upgrades!”
