Average First-Response Time
Surge rewires kitchens, upgrades panels to 200-amp service, and runs dedicated circuits for EV chargers — in homes where the existing wiring still has cloth insulation. We answer the phone. We show up on time. We pull the permit.
Average Arrival · After-Hours Calls
When a breaker trips at 11 PM and your refrigerator is on that circuit, you don't want voicemail. Our after-hours line routes directly to a licensed journeyman — not an answering service — who can dispatch same-night for panel failures, burning smell calls, and total loss-of-power events.

Homes Rewired · Cloth & Knob-and-Tube Replaced
Cloth insulation gets brittle. Knob-and-tube wiring has no ground. Neither was designed for the load of a modern kitchen — let alone an EV charger in the garage. Insurance companies know this, which is why your carrier may be requiring replacement before renewal.
Surge replaces cloth and K&T wiring room by room or whole-house, pulling permits at every stage. We coordinate with your insurer's inspector and provide the documentation they require. Most jobs are completed in two to four days with power restored each evening.
"The inspector said it was the cleanest panel upgrade he'd seen in fifteen years. Our insurance dropped $340 a year."
