Your Home Runs Better With Safe, Reliable Wiring
Full-service residential electrical work for homeowners across Central Iowa and the greater Des Moines metro.
Your home depends on electricity for everything—comfort, safety, and the day-to-day things you
don’t want to think about. If breakers keep tripping, lights flicker, your panel is out of space, or you’re adding something new like an EV charger, generator, or security system, you need an electrician who treats your home with care and gets it done the right way.
Jenson Electric, LLC. helps homeowners across the region with panel upgrades, rewiring, generator installations, camera systems, access control, outdoor lighting, and EV charger installs. We show up prepared, protect your home while we work, and keep the job clean and organized—so you can keep living in your space with minimal disruption. Everything is completed to current electrical code requirements and tested before we consider the work finished. For generator installs, we help size the system properly and install it with a transfer switch so your home is protected and powered safely during Midwest storms and outages.
If you’re looking to improve safety, add capacity, or modernize your home’s electrical system,
contact Jenson Electric, LLC. to schedule an evaluation.
New Construction & Remodel Electrical (Built Right From Day One)
Building a new home, adding a garage or shop, finishing a basement, or taking on a major remodel? Residential construction moves quickly and the electrical needs to be planned correctly from the start. Jenson Electric works with homeowners, builders, and project teams to design and install electrical systems that pass inspection cleanly, meet today’s code requirements, and make sense for how you actually live.
New construction and remodel services include complete rough-in and trim, service and panel installations, dedicated circuits for kitchens and appliances, lighting layouts, receptacle placement, outdoor and landscape lighting, low-voltage pathway coordination, and future-ready options like EV charging and standby power. We keep wiring neat, labeling clear, and communication simple—so your project stays on schedule and your home is ready for the long haul.
For Builders & General Contractors
Jenson Electric supports builders and GCs with dependable rough-in crews, clean trim work, and inspection-ready installs. We coordinate schedules, communicate early on changes or conflicts, and keep homes moving toward drywall, trim-out, and final without surprises. If you need a residential electrical partner that shows up, stays organized, and helps the project close out clean, we’re ready to jump in.
What Changes After the Work Is Finished
Most homeowners notice the difference right away. Breakers stop tripping when multiple appliances run. Lights stay steady when the A/C starts. Your electrical panel is clearly labeled and has room for future upgrades. If you add a generator, it can start automatically during an outage to keep essential circuits like your refrigerator, furnace, sump pump, and select lighting powered. If you add cameras or access control, you’ll have reliable wiring and clean installation with mobile access and alerts. Outdoor lighting can run on timers or sensors, and an EV charger can deliver a full charge overnight.
We include load calculations as needed, permit coordination when required, and a walkthrough at the end so you know what was installed, how it works, and what to expect moving forward.
We Know These Questions Come Up Often FAQ’S
What does a residential electrical service call include?
We evaluate your current system, talk through what you’re trying to accomplish, and provide a clear estimate and timeline. If we find safety concerns or code issues, we explain them in plain language and recommend the right fix.
Do you do new construction and remodel electrical work?
Yes. We handle full electrical for new homes, additions, garages/shops, basement finishes, and remodels—including rough-in, trim, service/panel work, lighting layouts, and all required circuits.
How long does it take to upgrade an electrical panel?
Most panel upgrades take about four to six hours depending on the home and scope. Power is shut off during portions of the work, and everything is tested before we close up the panel and restore service.
Why do generator installations require a transfer switch?
A transfer switch prevents backfeeding into the utility lines, which is a major safety risk. It also ensures your home transitions safely between utility power and generator power during an outage.
What if my wiring is too old for new systems like EV chargers?
We’ll identify which circuits or sections need to be upgraded so your home can handle the added load safely. In many older homes, a partial rewire or targeted circuit upgrades are the safest, most cost-effective option.
When should I schedule outdoor lighting installation?
Outdoor lighting can be installed year-round, but many homeowners prefer spring or fall. Wiring is buried to code depth and routed to stand up to Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles.
