Wiring Built Around the Way You Live
The electrical needs of a modern home can look very different from what the original electrical system was designed to support.
EV chargers, larger appliances, finished basements, home offices, workshops, hot tubs, HVAC equipment and modern electronics can all add electrical demand.
Sometimes that means adding a single dedicated circuit. Sometimes it means replacing an electrical panel or increasing the home’s electrical service.
Drost Electric helps homeowners understand what their project requires and provides electrical work designed around both the current home and future plans.

“Drost Electric recently did a service line upgrade on my house. He made all the appointments with the city and inspectors and I didn’t have to lift a finger. I found he was extremely helpful during the time he was in and out of my house. He also cleaned up after himself and was efficient at his job.
