About the Company

A Licensed, Owner Operated Electrical Contractor in Montgomery

Electrician Montgomery AL is a licensed, owner operated electrical contractor serving Montgomery, Alabama and the surrounding Montgomery County area. The company was founded by Dale Whitfield, Owner and Master Electrician, who was pulling wire in the River Region years before opening the business in 2011. Dale grew up around Montgomery's housing stock, from 1920s Cloverdale bungalows to new construction off Vaughn Road, and built the company on one idea: diagnose first, quote in writing, then do permitted work that passes inspection the first time.

Every job starts with a real diagnosis, not a guess from the driveway. You get a written quote before work begins, the correct permit is pulled through the City of Montgomery Inspections Department when the job requires one, and the installation is done to the current NEC so the rough in and final inspections go smoothly. The person who answers the phone knows the trade, and the person who shows up carries the tools and stock to finish most repairs in one visit.

  • The owner is a Master Electrician and is on the job, not in a call center
  • Permits pulled and inspections passed on panel changes, rewires and new circuits
  • Written quotes before work starts, with the factors that move the price explained
  • Trucks stocked for Montgomery's housing: cloth wiring, aluminum branch circuits, obsolete panels
  • 24 hour emergency response across Montgomery County

How · it · works

What to expect, start to finish

1

Step 1: Call and Describe the Problem

We ask the questions that matter: age of the home, panel brand, what trips and when, and whether anything smells hot. Emergencies get dispatched immediately, any hour.

2

Step 2: On Site Diagnosis

We open the panel, test circuits, check for double taps, loose neutrals and overheated lugs, and find the actual cause instead of the symptom.

3

Step 3: Written Quote and Permitted Work

You approve a written price. If the job needs a permit, we file it with the City of Montgomery Inspections Department before work begins.

4

Step 4: Final Walkthrough and Inspection

We test every affected circuit with you, label the panel, and meet the city inspector for rough in or final inspection when the job requires it.

Master electrician license, general liability coverage, and workers comp, so a mistake on a ladder never becomes your problem.

✦

Permitted, Code Compliant Work

Panel changes, rewires and new circuits are permitted through the City of Montgomery Inspections Department and built to pass rough in and final inspection.

Upfront Pricing

Diagnosis first, then a written quote with the amperage, materials and labor spelled out before a single wire is cut.

✦

Montgomery Housing Knowledge

✦

Owner on the Job

Dale Whitfield runs calls himself, so the person quoting the work is the person responsible for it.

Testimonials

What Montgomery, AL Customers Say

“The kitchen lights kept flickering every time the fridge compressor kicked on. The electrician traced it to a loose neutral in the 1960s wiring behind the range, tightened the connection at the panel, and replaced the damaged outlet. Lights have been steady since.”
JK James K.Old Cloverdale, Montgomery, AL
“Our master bathroom GFCI kept tripping during showers. He replaced the outlet, ran a new dedicated 12-gauge line to the panel because the old one was undersized, and tested every other GFCI in the house. No more trips and the shower fan now stays on without issue.”
ML Maria L.East Montgomery, AL
“After adding a window AC unit the breaker for the guest room kept flipping. He swapped the 15-amp breaker for a 20-amp, added an AFCI protector, and pulled new wire through the attic to the outlet. The unit runs all day now without shutting off.”
RP Robert P.Capitol Heights, Montgomery, AL

Electrician FAQs — Montgomery, AL

Still have questions? We're happy to talk it through.

877-847-6084
+ Does electrical work need a permit in Montgomery?
Panel replacements, service upgrades, rewires and new branch circuits require a permit from the City of Montgomery Inspections Department. Like for like repairs such as swapping a failed receptacle, switch or light fixture generally do not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit, schedules rough in and final inspections, and the work is not closed out until it passes.
+ Who is responsible for the meter base, and what belongs to Alabama Power?
Alabama Power owns the service drop from the pole and the meter itself. The homeowner owns the meter base, the service mast, the weatherhead and everything from there into the panel. If a storm rips the mast off your wall, Alabama Power cannot reconnect until a licensed electrician repairs the homeowner side, which is why that repair is an emergency call.
+ How fast can someone come out on an emergency?
Emergency calls in Montgomery are typically on site within 1 to 2 hours, day or night. Burning smells, a hot panel, a downed service mast or a whole home outage that Alabama Power says is on your side of the meter all qualify. Call 877-847-6084 and describe what you see and smell.
+ What makes an electrical quote go up or down?
The biggest factors are amperage, access and the age of the wiring. A 200 amp panel costs more than a 100 amp panel, a crawlspace or finished wall raises labor, and old cloth or aluminum wiring adds connection work at every splice. Permit fees and required inspections are included in the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
+ Is the work licensed and insured?
Yes. Electrician Montgomery AL is a licensed electrical contractor led by a master electrician, and the company carries general liability and workers compensation insurance. Proof of insurance is available before work begins if your lender, insurer or HOA requires it.
+ What happens if an inspection fails?
We return and correct the flagged items at no additional labor charge, then schedule the reinspection. Failed inspections are rare when the work is permitted and done to the current NEC, but code interpretations vary, and the correction is our responsibility, not yours.
+ Do you work on older homes with outdated wiring?
Yes, older Montgomery homes are a large part of the workload. That includes cloth insulated wiring, knob and tube remnants, ungrounded two prong outlets, fuse boxes and 60 amp services common in Cloverdale, the Garden District and Capitol Heights. We repair what can be safely repaired and give you a straight answer when a rewire is the honest recommendation.
+ Do you handle commercial work?
Yes. We serve offices, retail spaces, restaurants and light industrial buildings across Montgomery, including three phase panels, dedicated equipment circuits, lighting retrofits and code corrections flagged by insurers or the fire marshal. Commercial work is quoted in writing after a site visit, the same as residential.
