Do you work on new home construction?

What does your Service Department handle?
Our Service Department takes care of everyday electrical needs — repairs, troubleshooting, upgrades, additions, and small projects for both residential and commercial customers.
Do you sell and install backup generators?
Yes. We offer complete generator services, including sales, installation, and ongoing maintenance for both home and business backup power needs.
What size generator do I need for my home or business?
The right size depends on what you want to power — a few essentials like your refrigerator and HVAC, or your entire home or facility. We'll do an on-site evaluation of your electrical load and recommend a generator that fits your needs and budget.
Do you offer generator maintenance and service?
Yes. Generators need regular maintenance to be reliable when you need them most. We offer maintenance plans and service calls to keep your generator ready to run.
How long does generator installation take?
Most residential standby generator installations are completed within one to two days once permits, equipment, and site prep are in order. Larger commercial installations vary based on scope. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation
Does Crawford Electric install solar power systems?
Yes. We design and install solar power systems and can help you take advantage of clean, renewable energy for your home or business.
Do you handle both residential and commercial solar installations?
Yes. We install solar systems for homes, businesses, and larger commercial properties throughout our service area.
How long does a solar installation take?
A typical residential solar installation takes a few days of on-site work once permits and equipment are in place. The full timeline — from quote to power-on — usually runs several weeks because of permitting and utility interconnection requirements.
Will solar power work during a power outage?
A standard grid-tied solar system shuts off during outages for safety. If you want backup power during outages, we can design a system with battery storage or pair your solar with a backup generator.
Can you upgrade my home's electrical panel?
Yes. Panel upgrades are one of our most common residential services. If your home has an older or undersized panel, we can upgrade it to safely handle modern electrical demands.

Yes. Whether you're adding a room, finishing a basement, or remodeling a kitchen, we can handle the wiring, outlets, lighting, and panel work needed to bring your project up to code.
Do you troubleshoot tripped breakers and flickering lights?
Yes. Our service technicians are skilled at diagnosing and repairing common issues like tripped breakers, flickering lights, dead outlets, and other electrical problems.
Can you install whole-home surge protection?
Yes. Whole-home surge protection is a smart investment to protect your appliances, electronics, and HVAC systems from power surges. We can install a surge protector at your main panel.

My Panel is full, What are my options?
The best option to go with is allowing our trained professionals to add a sub panel or we can even upgrade your existing panel. It's not recommended to add more circuits to a full panel.
Something is buzzing from my breaker, what do I do?
A buzzing, or sizzling sound is the first indicator when it comes to an eletrical problem. Give us a call and we will come check out the problem.
