Got to assist Integrity Heating and Air LLC by running a new circuit for their water heater installation. Ran it from the first floor through the foyer to second floor of the church building. Painless install, Cordell is wonderful to work with!

With the weather warming up, folks are enjoying bonfires, campfires, and family time around the fire pit. But one of my recent clients? She wasn't having the best time; her electrical panel was a hidden disaster waiting to happen.

This is a Federal Pacific (FPE) Stab-Lok panel. To electricians, this screams HOUSE FIRE.

The design was flawed from the start: falsified testing back in the day led to breakers that often fail to trip during overloads or shorts. Wiring overheats, and boom—fire risk. Experts estimate these panels contribute to 2,000–2,800 house fires nationwide each year.

On top of that, this one had ZERO Grounding Electrode Conductors (the emergency paths for stray electricity to safely dissipate). Code requires at least two, so I bonded one to the water line exiting the home and drove a new ground rod out front for the second.

After a full day's work, she now has a safe, modern panel.

Don't let your home become a statistic. If you have a Federal Pacific panel, get it inspected and replaced by a licensed electrician ASAP—it's not worth the risk.

Folks, if your home’s electrical system is acting spooky, random lights flickering and turning on/off randomly. Or your appliances don’t want to run the way they should and sound like they’re struggling or working too hard or don’t work at all; please don’t let this sit for long.


I received a call for an energized gas line in Olathe and went out to the homeowner’s property. He’d been replacing his hot water heater, and while disconnecting his gas line, it arced across the coupling. He had the same issue with the water lines.



When I was walking to look at the panel, his wife asked why the lights in the kitchen were acting weird when the heater was plugged in. When I plugged in the heater, I heard an audible and increasing loud buzz/hum sound as every light in the house began going dimmer and dimmer. I immediately unplugged it and things snapped back to normal.


Everything in the panel seemed connected properly, besides some dirt and some obvious additional work someone did. So, I went outside and took measurements at the meter. Phase to phase was 240v, which is normal. When I went from phase A to neutral it was 85v, and phase B to neutral was 165v. This is a large problem.


Most appliances, devices, even lightbulbs are manufactured with a voltage operating range. This is typically 110-125v. If your home’s electrical system is supplying this, the product will work as intended. Some items though have a very specific range closer to 115-120v, so your variance is limited. When you supply electronics with voltages below or above that amount, you can either burn them up outright or they will limp halfway along.

The utility transformer from the power company had an internal/external problem with its neutral connection. So power was coming into the home on the two phases, but it couldn’t all get back to the transformer correctly on the neutral. And it was trying to use the ground wire as its emergency pathway back, which was energizing the home’s gas and water lines with constant hazardous voltage.

The homeowner reportedly had called the power company multiple times, and they always said something along the lines of “nothing was wrong on their end” and, “it must be on the homes side,” and to, “hire an electrician to take a look.” These problems started as small issues, and as time went on, they worsened and the homeowner ended up unable to use most of their appliances. It had been like this for over two months before they called.


After confirming the issue, I reached out to the power company, and they had a technician fix it the same day.

People notice when their heart stutters or flutters, don’t wait when the heart of your home does the same. Stay safe folks.

Power outages happen — and being prepared makes all the difference.

A homeowner recently purchased a Generac GP9200E portable generator and asked us to install a generator inlet on the exterior of their home so they could connect it easily during outages.
We made a clean installation by cutting an access hole to reach the stud cavity, ran the wiring through the exterior, and installed the inlet outside.
We also added an interlock kit to the main panel, which is a critical safety feature that prevents the generator from back-feeding power into the utility lines, and vice versa if the utility feed comes back online. This allows the electrical system to operate safely when switching between generator and utility power, protecting utility workers and the home's occupants. It’s an important step that unintentionally gets overlooked when people are setting up portable generators.

Now when the grid goes down, they can safely power the key parts of their home and stay up and running.

A customer recently purchased a new hot tub from Spas and More! in Overland Park, and I had the chance to get everything hooked up for them!
We were able to have the whole setup finished in just about three hours. The customer was thrilled to have it up and running so quickly — and ready to enjoy their new hot tub!

Had the privilege to work with the pros at of BF Bodyworks in Olathe! They had a two-post car lift that was only temporarily wired in, and wanted it on permanent power. We were able to work with the owner on utilizing what electrical was already available to save them on costs!
