What areas do you serve?
We serve Omaha, La Vista, Papillion, Ralston, Elkhorn, Gretna, Bennington and Bellevue, and travel up to 15 miles from Omaha. If your town isn't listed, call (402) 490-4016 and we'll tell you if we can get there.
Do you offer emergency electrical service?
Yes. If an outlet, switch, breaker or panel is burning or smells hot, or your power is out, we come out the same day. If something is burning, shut that circuit off at your panel first, then call (402) 490-4016.
Is there a minimum job size?
No. We'll come out for one outlet, one light fixture or a breaker that won't reset. Most minor repairs take about an hour. For very small calls, like resetting a breaker, we don't charge the full hourly rate.
How much does it cost to replace ceiling fans?
Swapping out three ceiling fans runs about $450, give or take, and takes about 3 to 3.5 hours. Your price depends on the fixtures and what we find in the ceiling boxes. We'll give you the exact number in your estimate.
How do you price outlet and switch replacements?
Outlet and switch swaps are billed at our hourly rate plus materials. Most minor repairs like these take about an hour. Your estimate shows the total before any work starts.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, an outdated panel, or adding high-demand equipment like an EV charger or hot tub are common signs your panel may need an upgrade. We check your panel during the estimate and tell you what it needs.
Can you install EV chargers at my home?
Yes. We install Level 2 home EV chargers and 240V garage outlets on their own circuit, and we check that your panel can carry the load. See our residential EV charger installation page for details.
Do you handle electrical work for home remodeling projects?
Yes. Basement remodels are one of the jobs we do most right now. We also wire kitchen, bathroom and other home remodels, including new circuits, outlets, can lights and switches, built to current code.
Do you install outdoor lighting?
Yes. We install landscape lighting, soffit lighting and exterior fixtures like garage and entry lights. Landscape lighting is one of the jobs Derek enjoys most.
Do you install wiring for hot tubs and garage heaters?
Yes. We run dedicated circuits for hot tubs, garage heaters and other specialty equipment, install smart doorbells and wire security cameras.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through Wisetack. You can check your monthly payment before you apply, there's no hard credit check, and approval takes minutes. Plans include 0% interest for 3 months. Your application goes straight to Wisetack, so we never see your financial information.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Proton Electric LLC is a licensed (license #54179) and insured electrical contractor and a BBB Accredited Business. Every job carries a 1-year warranty on labor and on materials we purchase.
Do you offer military and first responder discounts?
Yes. Military members and first responders get a discount on electrical work from Proton Electric. Mention it when you call (402) 490-4016 or in your estimate request, and we'll apply it to your estimate.
How long does a typical electrical service take?
Most residential service calls take 1 to 3 hours, and many minor repairs take about an hour. Larger installations and remodeling projects take longer.
When will I get my estimate?
For most repairs, we give you the estimate while we're at your house. For bigger jobs, like wiring that needs drywall work, we send it that evening or the next evening.
