New wiring usually starts with a plan: a kitchen extension, a garden office, a workshop machine, an ADU or a shed that needs power.
We map the route, check what the panel can carry and protect the cable where it enters a building. That is what separates professional electrical wiring installation from simply adding a line. See all our electrical services.
What do electrical wiring installation services cover?
- New circuits for a kitchen extension, an ADU, a shed, a garage, a spa, a mini-split or a 240V laundry
- A feeder to a garden office or outbuilding
- Control wiring for a workshop machine
- Extra outlets while a wall is open, such as in a storage room
- Wiring for small businesses, such as new office outlets or store lighting
Our circuit wire installation services also start by asking what the circuit will carry.
Old houses raise their own questions: no ground, two-prong outlets, old boxes. The electrician evaluates the existing wiring and boxes first and explains your options. Please do not attempt unsafe fixes yourself.

| Power to a shed, garage or ADU | Priced after the electrician has seen the route | Distance, route, panel capacity and permits change the work |

- Whether walls and ceilings are open
- The panel capacity
- Permit needs
- The loads the new circuit will carry

How to wire an outlet, and why we do not give DIY steps
Wiring an outlet is more than joining wires. The circuit has to carry the load, the wire and the protection must match, and every connection has to be tight and tested. We do not give step-by-step wiring instructions, because mistakes here start fires. A licensed electrician should add the outlet.
Before the visit, it helps to note:
- What you will plug in
- Where the outlet should go
- The age of the house
- A photo of the existing set-up, if you have one
What did we find on real wiring installation jobs?
A kitchen extension that needed new circuits
In a property with a rear utility area, a kitchen extension needed new circuits. The old branch arrangement mixed several appliances. We installed the planned wiring layout, and each specified load had a suitable feed. Report any damage where wiring enters a building or equipment.
A garden office that needed a feeder
The route to a garden office contained an unprotected wall crossing. We installed the correct mechanical protection, and the entry no longer stressed the cable. Keep the final wiring information with the property records.
A workshop machine that needed control wiring
A workshop machine needed control wiring, and its emergency-stop loop was incomplete. We corrected the control circuit, and stop testing interrupted operation correctly.
Wiring installation includes protection where cables enter buildings or equipment. We examine those small transition points because damage often starts where support or guarding is missing.
What happens on a wiring installation visit?
Call and we answer right away, at any hour. If you send the form, we aim to return your call within five minutes.
The call center offers a time slot and a price estimate for the circuits you describe.
You book, and the timeline adjusts if your plans change.
A licensed and insured electrician looks at the route, the panel and the existing wiring, and tells you what the job needs.
If you accept the price, the wiring starts at that visit, or on a later day you choose.
Same-day appointments are often available, depending on electrician availability.
If you cannot be home, tell the call center who will let the electrician in.

| Your situation | How we start | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| A new circuit or a run to a shed, garage or ADU | A price estimate from the call center | Starting price of $6 per linear foot; the electrician confirms after seeing the route |
| Partial power loss, sparks or a burnt outlet | A diagnostic visit to find the fault | A diagnostic visit can carry a charge. It varies and is usually under $50. |

A free quote suits a defined high-end job. A diagnostic visit suits a problem whose cause is not yet known.
Who does the work, and what standards apply?
Electric Wire Services is a licensed and insured electrical company, and every electrician we send is licensed.
The Electrical Safety Foundation International lists “Frequently tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses” among the warning signs of an overloaded circuit.
A new circuit may need a permit. That depends on your city and the job, and the electrician tells you what applies.
Wiring installation questions: sheds, old houses and half the house without power
How much does it cost to run power to a shed, garage or ADU?
It depends on the distance, the route, the panel capacity and permits. The starting price is $6 per linear foot, and the electrician quotes the job after seeing the route.
My old house has two-prong outlets with no ground. Can you fix that?
The electrician checks the boxes and the wiring, then explains the safe options.
Half my house has no power but the utility says nothing is wrong. What now?
Check the breakers and any GFCI outlets. If that does not restore power, book a diagnostic visit and the electrician traces the circuit.
Can you convert an outlet to 240V for a washer or dryer?
The electrician checks the panel capacity, the distance and the outlet type before quoting.
I see sparks or smell burning at an outlet. What should I do?
Stop using it, unplug what you can safely, and call. Do not use the circuit until an electrician has checked it.
I rent my home. Can I book?
An owner or property manager may need to approve the work. Tell the call center who can approve and who lets the electrician in.
