What we do

Electrical services

Residential and commercial work, from one dead outlet to a full service change — planned, permitted and inspected.

  • Panel upgrades & service changes

    Fuse boxes and undersized panels replaced with a modern breaker panel sized for heat pumps, EVs and workshop tools.

    Read more
  • Whole-house rewiring

    Old wiring replaced room by room, with the house kept live wherever we can and the mess cleaned up behind us.

    Read more
  • Emergency & exit lighting

    Battery-backed exit signs and emergency lighting for businesses, tested and documented for the inspector.

    Read more
  • Structured cabling

    Data, phone and camera cabling run to a labelled patch panel, tested and left tidy enough to photograph.

    Read more
  • Generator installs

    Standby generators sized to the house and wired through a transfer switch, so the lights come back on by themselves.

    Read more
  • Code corrections for home sales

    Fixing what a home inspection flagged, quickly and in writing, so the sale goes through when it is supposed to.

Testimonials

What customers say

Megan, a customer, on the porch of her home.

Our house still had its original fuse box and the sale could not go through until it was replaced. Hartline came out the next morning, left a written price, and had the new panel in before the week was out.

Safety
