Residential Electrical Services
Every service NWA Electric provides is backed by a state license, pulled permits, and a passing inspection. Here is what we do and what each job actually involves.
Panel Upgrades
Your main electrical panel controls every circuit in your home. When it's undersized, outdated, or a known hazardous brand (Federal Pacific, Zinsco), it limits what you can power — and in some cases creates a fire risk.
- ✓New Square D QO or Eaton BR panel
- ✓200A or 400A service options
- ✓AFCI/GFCI breakers per NEC 2023
- ✓Grounding electrode system upgrade
- ✓City permit and inspection
- ✓Accurate circuit labeling
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home EV charging runs on 240 volts — the same circuit as your dryer or range. A proper installation includes a dedicated breaker, appropriately rated wire, and either a NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired charger.
- ✓Dedicated 240V / 40–60A circuit
- ✓NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired unit
- ✓Compatible with all EV brands
- ✓Indoor garage or outdoor weatherproof options
- ✓Panel capacity verified before install
Whole-Home Rewiring
Homes built before 1970 often have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuit wiring. Both present insurance and safety challenges. A full rewire replaces every branch circuit in the home with modern copper wiring.
- ✓Full branch circuit replacement
- ✓New panel if needed
- ✓AFCI protection on all circuits
- ✓Licensed, permitted, inspected
- ✓Minimize drywall cuts where possible
Lighting Installation
Lighting work ranges from a single ceiling fan to a whole-home recessed lighting conversion. We handle all switching, dimmer compatibility, and proper load calculations.
- ✓Recessed can installation and retrofit
- ✓Ceiling fan wiring and installation
- ✓Under-cabinet and accent lighting
- ✓Smart dimmer switches (Lutron, Leviton)
- ✓Outdoor landscape and security lighting
Outlets & Switches
From a single GFCI outlet in a bathroom to a full 240V range outlet installation, outlet work is some of the most common residential electrical work we do.
- ✓GFCI outlets (kitchen, bath, garage, outdoor)
- ✓USB-C outlets and combination devices
- ✓240V dryer, range, and EV outlets
- ✓Tamper-resistant outlets for child safety
- ✓Arc-fault (AFCI) breakers for bedroom circuits
Generator Installation
A standby generator or transfer switch keeps your home powered through Arkansas ice storms and severe weather. Proper installation requires a correctly sized transfer switch that prevents backfeed.
- ✓Transfer switch installation (manual or automatic)
- ✓Standby generator hookup
- ✓Critical load panel configuration
- ✓Fuel line coordination (for natural gas units)
- ✓Load calculation to properly size the generator
Electrical Inspections
A pre-purchase electrical inspection tells you exactly what you're buying. We produce a written report covering the panel, visible wiring, GFCI protection, grounding, and any code violations we can observe.
- ✓Panel age, brand, and condition assessment
- ✓Visible wiring inspection
- ✓GFCI and AFCI protection audit
- ✓Grounding and bonding review
- ✓Written report with findings and recommendations
