Your neighbors’ go-to local electrician
A few winters ago, we got a call from a family who had just moved into a home near Dorset Park. It was their first winter in town. Snow was coming down hard, the lights were flickering, and the kids were getting nervous. They didn’t just need someone with tools. They needed a local electrician who could show up fast and explain what was going on in plain English.
That’s what we do at Broadband Man Electric. We live and work in this community, and we treat every home like it’s on our own street. Being a local electrician here means knowing how older homes were wired, how lake weather can mess with panels, and how fast things need to move when it’s zero degrees outside.
If you’re in South Burlington, VT and something electrical feels off, we want you to feel like you can call neighbors, not strangers. That’s how we’ve always done it.
Electrical services your home might need
Electrical service upgrade
Not long ago, a homeowner called us because their breakers kept tripping every time the dryer and microwave were on together. The house was built decades ago, and the system just couldn’t keep up. We walked them through an electrical service upgrade, explained the amps in simple terms, and gave their home the power it needed for modern life. No more juggling appliances.
generator installation
After a big storm rolled through, we had a wave of calls about backup power. One retired couple said they were tired of sitting in the dark during outages. We handled their generator installation from start to finish. Now when the wind howls, they just flip a switch and carry on with their evening like nothing happened.
electrical rewiring
We worked on an older home where the wiring still had fabric insulation. The owners had smelled something odd and didn’t want to take chances. Electrical rewiring isn’t glamorous work, but it’s about safety and peace of mind. We carefully replaced outdated wiring and left them knowing their home was ready for the next 30 years.
electrical panel replacement
A small ranch house we visited still had a panel that was past its prime. It was warm to the touch, which is never a good sign. We recommended an electrical panel replacement and showed the homeowner exactly why. After we swapped it out, the whole system ran smoother and safer.
electrical panel upgrade
One family bought an electric car and added a hot tub the same year. Their old panel wasn’t built for that kind of demand. An electrical panel upgrade gave them room to grow. We like doing these projects because we can set families up for future plans instead of just fixing today’s issue.
ev charging installation
With more electric vehicles on the road, we’ve been doing a lot of ev charging installation lately. A young couple asked if it would be complicated. It wasn’t. We checked their capacity, added the right circuit, and mounted a clean setup in their garage. Now they wake up every morning to a fully charged car.
electrical troubleshooting
Sometimes it’s not a big project. It’s a mystery. Lights dim in one room but nowhere else. An outlet stops working for no clear reason. That’s where electrical troubleshooting comes in. We test, trace, and narrow it down step by step. Most of the time, it’s a simple fix once you know where to look.
Those are some of the big ones, but honestly we handle a lot more around here:
- Electrical Service Upgrade
- Generator Installation
- Electrical Rewiring
- Electrical Panel Replacement
- Electrical Panel Upgrade
- EV Charging Installation
- Electrical Troubleshooting
- Remodeling
Why folks here call us first
Being a local electrician isn’t just about wiring. It’s about trust. People want someone who shows up when they say they will. Someone who wipes their boots before walking inside. And someone who explains things without making you feel silly for asking questions.
We’ve had customers tell us they called three companies and never got a call back. That bothers us. If we say we’ll come out, we come out. If there’s a delay, we let you know. Simple stuff, but it matters.
We also give honest advice. If a repair makes more sense than a full replacement, we’ll say so. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with homeowners all across this city, not just finish one job and disappear.
