Expert Residential Electrical Services

A residential electrician is a licensed professional who specializes in electrical systems for single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, and multi-family dwellings. Residential electrical work includes panel upgrades, circuit installation, outlet and switch work, lighting systems, ventilation fans, and safety devices. This work differs from commercial electrical service in scale, code requirements, and the specific challenges presented by home construction methods.

Your home's electrical system does more than power lights and appliances—it protects your family. Outdated panels with worn bus bars, circuits overloaded beyond their rated amperage, outlets without ground fault protection in wet areas—these conditions create fire and shock hazards that put everyone at risk.

D & D Electric has served Chester and Delaware County homeowners since 1987. Gary DiPietro, licensed master electrician and owner, personally oversees quality on every residential project. Our team treats your home with the same care we'd give our own—covering floors during work, cleaning up thoroughly, and explaining what we did before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homeowners frequently ask similar questions when hiring electricians. Understanding the scope, cost, and timeline of electrical work helps you make informed decisions.

How much does residential electrical work cost?
Every home is different, so precise quotes require an on-site assessment. D & D Electric provides free estimates with detailed, transparent pricing. Typical ranges: Panel upgrades $2,000 - $4,500, circuit additions $200 - $500 per circuit, outlet installations $150 - $300 per outlet. These ranges assume standard conditions.
Do I need permits for electrical work?
Most electrical work beyond simple outlet or switch replacements requires permits in Chester and Delaware Counties. Panel upgrades, circuit additions, new wiring runs, and smoke detector installations all require permits and inspections. D & D Electric handles all permit applications as part of our service.
How long does residential electrical work take?
Timing varies by project scope. Simple repairs typically complete in 1-2 hours. Outlet additions take 2-4 hours depending on access and wiring requirements. Panel upgrades typically require a full day, as they involve coordinating with the utility company for temporary disconnection.
Is your work guaranteed?
D & D Electric provides a one-year labor guarantee on all installations. If any issue arises with our workmanship within twelve months, we return to correct it at no charge. This guarantee covers labor only; manufacturer defects are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Do you work on older homes?

What Our Customers Say

"D&D Electric has become our go-to electrician service. We first worked with them a few years back when we had an issue and other contractors couldn't schedule us and D&D by contrast came out the next day and did quality work for a reasonable price and were friendly and personable throughout."
