Have had Trevor do a larger electric job and assist on smaller job and prices fair, service and punctuality awesome. As name says he is up front on price, work needed. Hard to find those types so if getting bids definitely include them in options.

B K

Called to inquire about service on a garage outlet problem. Trevor talked me through the most likely issue to fix the problem (GFCI reset on an outlet connected directly out of the basement panel) saving me a service call ($$$). Awesome. I highly recommend checking with Upfront Electrical for any electrical needs. They are going on my call first list for sure.

Don McCusker

Upfront Electrical was here for me when I had an emergency in my home and their work was impeccable. I would highly recommend this company.

Marlene Chilton

I called Trevor after hours one night a few weeks ago when I'd lost power in my entire home and was a bit frantic. He was so kind and walked me through finding a "secret" breaker that the folks who installed it didn't tell me about. He didn't charge me a penny. Such a nice guy and when he says he's up front, he means it.

Eileen Jackson

Trevor is absolutely amazing. He was compassionate about our situation and worked with us to resolve our electrical issues. He was always professional and went to bat for us on one of the coldest days of the year. So happy with our service. I would recommend Upfront Electric to anyone and everyone.

Our Comprehensive Service Offerings

Electrical Troubleshooting

When electrical components stop performing normally, our electricians provide comprehensive troubleshooting to locate the issue and stabilize power flow. We inspect panels, outlets, switches, wiring, grounding, bonding, and performance.

Plug and Switch Replacement

Homes rely on electrical outlets and switches for everyday convenience, so we complete plug and switch replacement with durable commercial-grade materials. Our team replaces worn outlets, upgrades to ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) protection, installs USB outlets, and adds smart switches or dimmers.

Lighting Installation and Replacement

A home benefits from lighting that supports comfort and daily function, and our electricians provide installation and replacement services to enhance each space. We install recessed lighting, chandeliers, ceiling fans, under-cabinet lighting, and specialty fixtures while helping homeowners design balanced lighting layouts.

Electrical Panel Installation

Electrical panels regulate the flow of electricity through your home, which makes panel installation a meaningful upgrade for many properties. Our electricians install new panels, replace outdated fuse boxes, and add subpanels when extra circuits are needed.

Whole Home Rewires

Homes with outdated wiring systems may face challenges supporting modern electrical demand, making whole-home rewiring a worthwhile upgrade. Our electricians replace aging wiring, install new circuits, and upgrade panels when necessary.

EV Chargers

Electric vehicles (EVs) integrate smoothly into daily routines with home charging, and our electricians install EV chargers designed for consistent use. We set up Level 2 chargers, install circuits, and upgrade panels when needed to support charging.

Generators

Unexpected outages can disrupt everyday routines, which is why backup generators provide valuable support. Our electricians install standby systems, connect automatic transfer switches, and test equipment for proper operation.

Trenching

Safe trenching is essential for underground electrical work, and our electricians provide trenching for electrical lines and conduit systems. We locate underground utilities, coordinate markings, and excavate carefully to protect infrastructure.

How Much Does Electrical Work Cost in Indianola, IA?

Electrical work in Indianola covers a lot of ground, from about $50–$100 to change out a receptacle or switch to $25,000–$50,000 or more to rewire a house from one end to the other. Panel replacements sit in the middle at roughly $2,500–$6,000, and EV chargers at $500–$3,000. What decides the number is what the panel can carry, how the wiring in the walls has held up, how easy the work is to reach, the materials going in, and how much of the house the job touches.

Here is where our standard residential work in Indianola generally starts, and what tends to move each one:

Receptacle or light switch replacement

$50 to $100

Moved by the type of device that goes in, because GFCI, USB, dimmer, and smart versions are all more than a standard one. Beyond that: how good the device is, whether the box has the size and rating the job calls for, the wall finish around it, and whether the wiring in the box can actually support what is being installed. Dimmers and smart switches generally need a neutral conductor, and boxes in older parts of town frequently never received one.

Ceiling fan installation

$200 to $400

Moved by how high the ceiling is, what it is finished with, whether a fan-rated box was ever installed, the fan going up, and whether the wiring already there supports it. Plaster ceilings in the older homes around the square are slower to work in than drywall, and a box that was only rated for a light fixture has to be replaced before a fan can hang from it.

EV charger installation

$500 to $3,000

Moved most by how far the charger ends up from the panel, since a longer run calls for heavier conductors, more raceway, and more time. Panel type and whatever capacity is left, the materials chosen, and the quality of the work make up the rest.

Hot tub wiring

$1,500 to $3,000

Moved by distance from the panel, where the GFCI disconnect is permitted to sit, the path the circuit follows once it is outdoors, and whether the panel has anything left to give. Properties with the tub set back from the house move past the basic range without much trouble.

Sub-panel replacement

$500 to $2,000

Moved by what shows up once the sub-panel is opened, such as feeders that were never sized for what they feed, or grounds and neutrals bonded together in a place they need to stay separate.

Main panel replacement

$2,500 to $6,000

Moved by how the service itself has aged and by what is behind the panel once it comes off the wall, including grounding that no longer satisfies current requirements and circuits that have been added to well past what they were sized to handle.

Service update with meter socket and panel

$8,000 to $25,000

Moved by the condition of the home's electrical system as a whole and by whatever safety work has to be corrected while the service is open, which can carry the total above the range.

Whole-home rewiring

$25,000 to $50,000 and up

Moved by the home's age, what wiring is in the walls now, how many stories are involved, and how much finished space the new wiring has to be routed through.

Custom lighting

priced in the field

Layout, ceiling construction, fixture selection, and control method differ too much between homes for a published range to tell you anything useful.

These are starting ranges for standard work, not quotes. Indianola has more genuinely old housing stock than most of the metro suburbs, and the driver that moves a number here more than anywhere else is simply what the wiring looks like once we open things up. Homes near the square and around Simpson have often been added to in stages by several owners, and a job that starts as one circuit turns into correcting what is already there. Acreages outside the city bring their own version of the same thing, with detached garages, shops, and outbuildings fed by runs that were put in decades ago.

One local note worth knowing. Indianola is in Warren County and runs its own building and inspections process, and the whole-house update ordinance that applies inside Des Moines city limits is a City of Des Moines rule. It has no bearing on an Indianola address. That is a real difference on service and panel work, and it is one reason a quote written here can read differently than one written for a home up in Polk County.
