From rowhouses in Canton to big older homes in Roland Park, the city has some of the oldest wiring in Maryland. We book local electricians for homes, rentals, and businesses in every part of the city.

Rowhouse Wiring Problems We Hear About

Many Baltimore rowhouses are close to 100 years old or more. Over the years, wiring has been added, patched, and changed many times.

Callers often tell us about too few outlets, old fuse boxes, two prong outlets with no ground, and lights that flicker when the AC turns on. In narrow rowhouses, the panel is often in a tight basement corner, which can make upgrades tricky.

  • Fuse box and small panel replacements
  • Adding grounded outlets
  • Rewiring after a gut renovation
  • Basement and kitchen circuits for remodels

Permits in Baltimore City

Electrical work in the city is permitted through the Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development. This is a different office from Baltimore County.

The electrician you book pulls the permit and sets up the inspection. If you own rental property, ask about what your rental license inspection may check.

Power Out? Check With BGE First

If your whole block is dark, the outage is with BGE, the power company for Baltimore City. Report it to them.

If only your house, or part of it, has no power, call us. We will book an electrician to find the problem inside.
