Rewiring and Electrical Repairs in Lacey

While the electrical system in your home or business will last for many years, it will eventually need to be replaced. If your structure is older or the electrical does not seem to be working correctly, then you may need an electric panel upgrade or to update the wiring. 

Here are some of the indicators that can show that your home’s electrical system is failing:


  • Flickering lights
  • Plugs that only work intermittently or the plug falls out of the outlet
  • Frequently thrown breakers
  • Power surges
  • The inability to use multiple outlets at once in a single room
  • No three-prong outlets so you have no ground to protect yourself


These signs are common in homes with older electrical wiring. One reason for this is the increased energy demand for modern appliances. Your daily usage is much higher than that of a homeowner from forty years ago. Fortunately, Shocking Difference can help with whole-home rewiring.

Electrical Inspections in Lacey

Outdated electrical systems are not only problematic; they can also be hazardous. If you have recently moved into an older home, it is a good idea to have your building’s electrical system inspected. Our team can make sure that your electrical panel and wiring are working as they should.

Generator Installation in Lacey

Let’s face it -- no one likes to be without electricity. A prolonged power outage can result in hundreds of dollars of spoiled food. Your home’s internal temperature can just be downright unpleasant when you lose power and if you’re on a well you might not even be able to get a drink of water or flush the toilet. Shocking Difference can help with this, too. We install whole-home generators that can power your residence in the event of an outage. When it comes to picking a generator, you will have your choice between a manual and an auto-transfer configuration.



A manual generator must be activated when your power goes out. You simply need to turn it on, and you will be good to go. The modern manual generator hook-up gives you the ultimate flexibility in your usage. You can choose what to power up when you want throughout the power outage period and not be restricted to what it is in an old-style generator panel. 


Auto-transfer generators are even more convenient. They detect an outage and will immediately turn on and power your home without you having to lift a finger. This type of installation is simple and easy to operate and does not require you to even be home. One of our electricians can help you pick the right option for your home and your life.
