Comprehensive Electrical Repair for Homes and Businesses

At Five Star Electric, electrical repair is one of the most frequently requested services from both homeowners and businesses in Lexington, KY. Faulty outlets, flickering lights, and tripped circuits can interrupt daily routines and, if left unresolved, may create safety concerns. Our licensed electricians use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint problems accurately, whether it’s a single malfunctioning switch or a recurring circuit overload. Once identified, repairs are performed in compliance with the latest electrical codes, ensuring long-term safety and reliability.

Many properties in Lexington, KY still rely on outdated wiring systems that cannot safely support today’s electrical demands. Five Star Electric offers partial and whole-home rewiring solutions that replace aluminum wiring, aging knob-and-tube systems, and other unsafe installations. Rewiring not only improves energy efficiency but also reduces the risk of electrical fires. For historic properties, special care is taken to modernize wiring while preserving structural integrity. For newer homes, rewiring projects often involve adding capacity for growing electrical needs such as EV chargers, high-demand appliances, and home offices.

As building standards evolve, older electrical systems frequently fall behind current safety regulations. Electrical retrofitting at Five Star Electric is designed to bring Lexington homes and businesses up to code while integrating modern conveniences. Common retrofits include upgrading breaker panels, replacing outdated junction boxes, and installing new safety devices like GFCI outlets. Code correction services are especially valuable when preparing a property for sale, securing insurance approvals, or completing remodeling projects. Modernization not only ensures compliance but also positions properties for future electrical advancements, including smart technologies.

A properly functioning electrical panel is the heart of any safe and efficient electrical system. In many Lexington properties, older panels were never designed to handle the load of today’s technology-driven households and businesses. Five Star Electric provides service upgrades that expand electrical capacity, replace worn breakers, and ensure safe distribution of power throughout a property. Upgrading to a modern panel allows for the addition of new appliances, HVAC systems, and electric vehicle chargers without the worry of overloading circuits. For commercial spaces, service upgrades often mean the difference between seamless operations and costly interruptions.

Power surges are often unpredictable, yet their damage to electronics, appliances, and even wiring can be permanent. Five Star Electric installs whole-home and business-grade surge protection systems that defend against both external spikes, like lightning, and internal surges caused by large appliances cycling on and off. While plug-in protectors offer limited coverage, professional surge protection solutions provide layered defense directly at the electrical panel. This safeguard extends the lifespan of valuable equipment, reduces downtime, and provides peace of mind during Lexington’s unpredictable weather seasons.
