Derby Electrical Company handles electrical work for homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers across Derby and the wider Sedgwick County area. Whether the job is a tripping breaker in a ranch house or a panel upgrade in a commercial building, the call goes to the same number and gets the same straightforward answer. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means no cutting corners on the work that keeps the lights on and the building safe. We trace the fault. We fix the wiring. We restore the power.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that starts with knowing what the job actually involves before anyone picks up a tool. We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work: repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel upgrades, outlet and switch installation, indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, wiring and rewiring, and dedicated circuits for major appliances.
On the residential side, that covers everything from a single dead outlet to a whole-home rewire. On the commercial side, it covers panel capacity for growing loads, dedicated circuits for equipment, and lighting for offices, warehouses, and retail spaces. We show up ready to wire, with the scope of the job already understood from the call. The work covers GFCI and AFCI protection where code calls for it, and every installation is checked against current standards before the job is closed out.
Leave the breakers to us.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because most electrical problems give some warning before they become serious. A flickering light, a breaker that trips under normal load, an outlet that stopped working, a burning smell near a panel or receptacle, a switch that sparks when you use it: each of these points to something specific in the wiring, and each one is worth diagnosing before it gets worse.
A diagnostic visit covers the full picture. We trace the fault back to its source, identify whether it sits in the circuit, the device, or the panel, and explain what it will take to fix it. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are part of that picture too, particularly in older homes where the original wiring was not designed to meet today's load demands.
For urgent electrical faults, calls are answered every day from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. If the power is out, a breaker is refusing to reset, or something smells like it is burning, that is not a problem to leave until morning. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
Derby's housing stock covers a wide range of ages and construction types, and the electrical systems inside those homes reflect that range. Older neighborhoods often carry wiring that was sized for the loads of a different era: smaller panels, fewer circuits, and receptacle layouts that predate the appliance demands of a modern kitchen or home office. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s may have aluminum branch-circuit wiring, which requires specific attention at every connection point to stay safe over time.
Newer construction and additions bring their own considerations: load calculations that account for EV chargers, large kitchen appliances, and workshop circuits, and panel capacity that needs to keep pace with what the house actually draws. Knowing what is common in Derby's neighborhoods changes how a job gets scoped, and that scoping happens on the call before anyone is scheduled.
Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe. A panel that was sized for a smaller load, or one that is simply old enough to have worn-out breakers and outdated components, is worth evaluating before it becomes the reason the lights go out.
We handle the full range of service work: 100-amp to 200-amp upgrades, main panel replacement, subpanel installation, and service-entrance work where the connection between the utility and the home needs updating. Load calculations are part of the process, so the new panel is sized for what the home actually draws, not just what it drew when it was built. Meter upgrades and service-entrance work are coordinated with the utility, and the scope of that work is explained before anything is scheduled.
We give a plain answer on repair versus upgrade. Sometimes a panel needs a breaker replaced. Sometimes it needs to be replaced outright. The call is the right place to work that out, and the price is confirmed before the visit is booked. Call us and the rest is handled.
A flickering light and a full rewire start the same way: with a clear look at what the wiring is doing and what it needs to do. For older homes in Derby, that sometimes means addressing knob-and-tube wiring that has been in place since the house was built, or aluminum branch-circuit wiring that needs remediation at every device and connection. Whole-home rewiring is a larger job, but it is scoped the same way as any other: fault by fault, circuit by circuit, with a clear explanation of what the work involves before anything starts.
Dedicated circuits are a separate category. A dryer, an electric range, a sump pump, a workshop, a garage, or a basement finishing project each draws enough load to need its own circuit, and running that circuit correctly means sizing the wire, the breaker, and the panel connection for what the appliance actually pulls. Additions and remodels need the same treatment: new wiring run to current code, with the panel capacity to back it up.
The homes and wiring in this area have their own quirks, and outlet and switch work reflects that. An older home may have two-prong receptacles throughout, no GFCI protection in the kitchen or bathroom, and a mix of wiring that does not always match what is on the surface. Upgrading to GFCI and AFCI outlets where code requires them, adding USB receptacles, or installing weatherproof outdoor outlets are all jobs that start with understanding what is already in the wall.
Switch work covers standard replacements, dimmer installation, and smart switch wiring where the existing circuit can support it. Lighting covers recessed LED fixtures, indoor and outdoor installations, landscape and security lighting, and motion-sensor fixtures for driveways and entry points. Ceiling fan installation is part of that work too, including runs where no existing fixture is in place and a new box and circuit are needed.
This area's panels, permits, and utility rules are familiar ground. That knowledge is part of how the job gets quoted accurately and scheduled without surprises on the day of the visit. Call now and we'll get the power back where it belongs.
Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe, and that applies to the infrastructure behind newer technology as much as it does to the wiring behind the walls. Level 2 EV charger installation involves running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from the panel to the garage or parking area, confirming the panel has the capacity to carry the added load, and installing the outlet or hardwired connection the charger requires. If the panel needs an upgrade first, that work is scoped at the same time.
Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and covers the entire electrical system, protecting appliances, electronics, and wiring from voltage spikes that come in through the service entrance. Generator hookups involve installing a transfer switch at the panel, wiring the connection point for the generator, and confirming the grounding and bonding are correct for the setup. Standby generator wiring follows the same process, with the panel hookup and transfer switch sized for the circuits the generator will carry.
Wiring work is checked against code before sign-off, so the installation is done once and done right.
An electrical inspection is useful in more situations than most people expect. Before purchasing an older home, an inspection identifies what the existing wiring can and cannot support, and flags any code violations that need attention before closing. After a renovation, an inspection confirms that new wiring and devices were installed correctly and that the panel can handle the updated load. For homes that have not had any electrical work in years, an inspection is a straightforward way to find out what is worth addressing now and what can wait.
The inspection covers the panel, the branch circuits, the outlets and switches, the grounding system, and any visible wiring. If code violations are found, the repair work is scoped and quoted as part of the same call.
The price for any job is confirmed on the phone before the visit is booked. That means the scope of the work, the rate for the job, and whether a permit is required are all settled before anyone is scheduled. There is nothing to figure out after the fact.
We tell you if a permit is needed. We name the fault plainly. You decide the fix.
The same number that books the job is the number to call with questions before or after the work is done. Pricing is explained in plain language, and the rate covers what was agreed on the call.

The work is done to current code, the circuit is tested before we leave, and any permit required for the job has been identified and addressed. We explain what was found, what was done, and whether any follow-up is needed before the visit is closed out. Nothing is left open-ended without a clear explanation.
Ask what the job involves, what the price covers, whether a permit is required, and how long the visit is expected to take. Those are the questions we answer on the call before anything is scheduled. We give a plain answer on repair versus upgrade when the question comes up, so you are not guessing at what the job actually needs.
Call (316) 294-4289 and describe what you are seeing.
If the issue is related to the work that was done, we work out what needs to happen next and address it. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, and that applies after the job is complete as much as during it.
The scope of the work is already understood from the call, so the visit starts with a look at the specific area or issue rather than a general walkthrough. We explain what we find before we start any work, and if the job turns out to involve something beyond what was discussed on the call, that conversation happens before anything additional is done.
A small job, like replacing an outlet or installing a ceiling fan, is typically scoped, quoted, and completed in a single visit. A larger job, like a panel upgrade or whole-home rewire, involves more planning: a load calculation, utility coordination, and a longer on-site window. Both are handled the same way at the start: a call, a clear scope, and a confirmed price before the visit is booked.
Clear communication on the call about what the problem is and where it is happening makes a difference. Access to the panel and the affected areas, knowing which circuits are involved, and having someone available who can answer questions during the visit all help the job move without delays. We handle the technical side from there.
Derby Electrical Company takes calls every day from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Whether the job is a single outlet, a panel upgrade, an EV charger circuit, or a full rewire, the process starts the same way: a call, a clear scope, and a confirmed price before anything is scheduled.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends.
