Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades
Outdated or undersized panels are one of the most common safety and capacity issues in Ohio homes. Kidwell Electric handles 200 Amp and 400 Amp service upgrades, full service changes, and mandatory safety replacements for Zinsco electrical panels and Federal Pacific disconnects. If your home has an outdated fuse box or a panel that cannot support modern loads, this is where to start. Electrical panel upgrades are also a frequent requirement for home sales and insurance compliance.

EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home EV charger installation gives you a faster, safer charge than a standard outlet and avoids the wear that comes from relying on extension cords or adapters. Kidwell Electric installs dedicated Level 2 charging circuits complete with metering equipment and dedicated cabinetry. Whether your garage is already wired for it or needs a new circuit run, the team handles the full installation to code.

Dedicated Circuit Installation
High-demand equipment like pool pumps, hot tubs, and large appliances need their own dedicated circuits to run safely and reliably. Running a shared circuit to these loads creates tripped fuses, damaged equipment, and potential fire hazards. Kidwell Electric sizes and installs dedicated circuits correctly the first time, including subpanel additions and trenching for outdoor or outbuilding applications.

Electrical Troubleshooting and Repair

Flickering lights, tripped fuses, humming breaker panels, and ungrounded outlets are symptoms that point to deeper wiring or circuit issues. Kidwell Electric uses advanced diagnostics to trace the actual cause rather than guessing. The team handles wire tracing, circuit consolidation, GFI outlet replacement, and code-compliance repairs for homes across Centerville and the surrounding area. You get a straight answer on what is wrong and what it takes to fix it.

Lighting Upgrades and Remodel Wiring
Good lighting changes how a home feels and functions. Kidwell Electric installs custom interior and exterior lighting, handles remodel wiring for renovated spaces, and specializes in accent lighting solutions including under-cabinet LED, toe-kick lighting, and under-shelf lighting. Whether you are finishing a basement, updating a kitchen, or adding outdoor fixtures, the team brings the same precision to lighting work as they do to panel replacements.

Knob and Tube Wiring Removal
Knob and tube wiring removal is one of the most important safety upgrades an older Ohio home can get. This ungrounded, antiquated system is a known fire risk, and many insurance carriers will cancel or significantly raise premiums on homes that still have it. Kidwell Electric performs full-system replacement with modern Romex cables, including work through plaster and lath walls. The team explains every step of the process so you understand exactly what is being done and why.
