Lost power to part of the house?
A dead circuit rarely fixes itself, and the cheap version of the repair is the one you catch early. Tell us what happened and we will tell you whether it needs someone out today or can wait for a scheduled visit.

How Richie Electrical Service Works
The price is agreed first
You hear the number before any work starts. No open-ended meter running while you wonder what the bill is going to look like.
Old houses are normal here
Knob and tube, aluminum branch wiring, fuse panels, additions wired by three different people. Central Kentucky is full of it.
We finish what we start
Permits pulled where the job needs them, inspections handled, and the work left tidy enough that you can see what was done.
Start to finish
Our Electrical Service Process in Richmond
-
Tell us what it is doing
What stopped working, when it started, and whether anything smells hot or looks scorched. That is usually enough to know how fast we need to be there.
-
We find the actual fault
Not the symptom. A dead outlet can be the outlet, the one upstream of it, a loose neutral, or the breaker. Guessing is what turns one visit into three.
-
You get the price before we start
Scope, what it will take, and the number. If there is a cheaper way to solve it that we would choose in our own house, we say so.
-
The work gets done to code
Permits where the job requires them, correct wire gauge and breaker sizing, and connections that will still be tight in ten years.

Before you call
Common Questions About Electrical Work in Richmond, KY
How fast can you get to my house in Richmond?
Call (859) 493-9130 and we will tell you honestly when we can be there rather than guessing. Richmond and Madison County are our home base, so those calls move fastest. Lexington, Nicholasville, and Winchester are a short drive out. If it is a burning smell, sparks, or a hot panel, say so when you call and it moves to the front of the day.
My breaker keeps tripping. Is that dangerous?
A breaker that trips is doing its job, so the tripping itself is not the danger. The reason behind it might be. An overloaded circuit is common and fixable. A short circuit, a failing breaker, or a ground fault is not something to keep resetting. If it trips repeatedly, trips immediately after resetting, or the panel feels warm, stop resetting it and call.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Kentucky?
Panel upgrades, new circuits, service changes, and rewiring generally require a permit and an inspection in Kentucky. Small like-for-like swaps such as replacing a switch usually do not. Requirements vary between Madison, Fayette, Jessamine, and Clark counties, so we confirm what your specific job needs before starting rather than after.
What areas do you cover besides Richmond?
Lexington, Nicholasville, Winchester, Georgetown, Versailles, Frankfort, Paris, Lawrenceburg, and Cynthiana. Richmond and the ring within about 25 miles get the fastest response. Further out is still absolutely worth a call — it just affects scheduling rather than whether we come.
Do you work on older homes?
Yes, and a lot of central Kentucky housing needs it. Homes built before about 1950 can still have knob and tube wiring in places. Homes built between roughly 1965 and 1973 often have aluminum branch wiring, which insurers ask about. Both are common here and both have proper repair paths that do not always mean rewiring the whole house.
Can you install or fix baseboard and wall heaters?
Yes. Electric baseboard and wall heat is common in central Kentucky homes, and it is work a lot of electricians skip. We install new units sized to the room, put them on a circuit that can actually carry the load, and repair units that have stopped heating, tripped their breaker, or lost a thermostat.
Get it looked at before it gets worse
Most of the expensive electrical jobs we see started as something small that somebody lived with for a year. One call tells you which one you have.
