When you need a reliable electrician near me search to actually mean something, it helps to call a local electrical contractor who has been working in Bryant since 2007. G&S Electric has spent 19 years handling electrical repairs, panel upgrades, wiring projects, and everything in between for homeowners and business owners across Saline County. We know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the kinds of electrical problems that come up most often around here. Arrives fast. Wires it right. Priced fair. Call (501) 746-6282 today and let us put together a quote for your project.
Dealing with a tripping breaker or a dead outlet? Those everyday electrical problems can feel minor until they aren't. A breaker that keeps tripping, lights that flicker without explanation, or an outlet that simply stopped working are all signs that something in the circuit needs attention. We diagnose the root cause first, so the fix actually holds.
Our electricians handle the full range of residential and commercial repair calls: dead outlet repair, flickering lights, circuit overloads, and wiring faults that aren't always obvious from the surface. We also test and install GFCI and AFCI protection where your home or building needs it, which adds a meaningful layer of safety in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and finished basements.
We get to the bottom of the problem before we touch anything, and you get the wiring done right the first time. We'll have your outlets working again in no time.
Here's what most people get wrong about their wiring: the panel is the heart of the whole system, and an aging or undersized panel quietly creates problems long before anything obvious fails. If your home or building is still running on an older 100-amp service, or if you're adding major appliances, an EV charger, or a workshop circuit, a 200-amp panel upgrade is often the right starting point.
We handle breaker panel replacement, circuit breaker replacement, and full electrical service upgrades for both residential and commercial clients. A proper panel job includes load calculations to make sure the new service fits your actual needs, along with grounding and bonding work to bring everything up to current code.
Property managers and business owners count on us for commercial panel upgrades when a tenant improvement or new equipment pushes the existing service past its limits. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees on any wiring job means you know what the work costs before we start. Your panel is in good hands with us.
Choosing the right electrical fix is easier than it sounds, especially when the house itself is part of the problem. Older Bryant homes sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum wiring that was installed decades ago and was never updated. Whole-home rewiring replaces that aging infrastructure with modern, code-compliant wiring that handles today's electrical loads safely.
We also install dedicated circuits for appliances that need their own protected line: dryers, refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, and laundry room equipment. Basement wiring, garage wiring, and electrical rough-in for additions and renovations are all work we do regularly. When a remodel opens up the walls, it's the right time to address any wiring that doesn't meet current standards.
Electrical safety inspections pair naturally with rewiring and renovation work. If you're not sure what's behind your walls, an inspection gives you a clear picture before the project gets underway. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what you're working with from the start. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
When the electrician arrives, the real work begins, and the difference between a rushed job and a clean one shows up in the details. Whether you're adding a GFCI outlet in the bathroom, replacing a standard switch with a dimmer, or upgrading to smart switches throughout the house, we handle the installation cleanly and correctly.
Ceiling fan installation and ceiling fan wiring are among the most common calls we get, and we also do recessed lighting installation, LED retrofits, and full indoor lighting upgrades. Outside, security lighting, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting all add both safety and curb appeal to a property.
For light commercial clients, we install weatherproof outlets, outdoor receptacles, and smart lighting systems that work with building controls. Experienced electricians who respect your home make sure the work is done neatly and that the space is left the way we found it. Call today and we'll set the appointment.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and two of the most-requested upgrades right now are EV charger installation and whole-home surge protection. Both involve more than just plugging something in, and both are worth doing correctly the first time.
A Level 2 EV charger installation requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and, in many cases, a panel capacity check to confirm the service can handle the added load. We run the circuit, install the outlet or hardwired unit, and make sure everything is sized correctly for your vehicle and your panel.
Surge protection matters here because Arkansas weather brings storms and power fluctuations that can damage electronics, appliances, and wiring throughout a home. A whole-house surge protector installed at the panel catches voltage spikes before they reach your equipment. It's one of the more straightforward upgrades we offer, and the protection it provides is real. Call today and we'll set the appointment.
Power outages in this part of Arkansas aren't rare, and a backup generator connected through a proper transfer switch means the lights stay on when the grid goes down. We handle generator hookup and standby generator wiring, including the transfer switch installation that safely isolates your home's circuits from the utility line during an outage.
Electrical safety inspections are another service we get called for regularly. Homeowners preparing for a sale, responding to an insurance request, or dealing with a flagged code violation all need a clear, honest assessment of what the electrical system looks like. We walk through the panel, the wiring, and the key circuits, and we tell you plainly what we find.
Our reputation is local, which means it matters to us. When we put our name on an inspection report or a generator hookup, we stand behind what it says. Your panel is in good hands with us.
Choosing the right electrical fix is easier than it sounds when you work with a crew that handles both sides of the business. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners across Saline County, and the range of work we do reflects that.
On the residential side, that means service calls, whole-home rewiring, additions, and specialty circuits for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, and garage workshops. On the commercial side, we handle office electrical work, retail build-outs, tenant improvements, and commercial wiring for new construction. Rough-in and finish work, panel upgrades, and dedicated circuits for commercial equipment are all part of what we do.
Whether the job is a single outlet in a rental unit or a full electrical rough-in for a new addition, we approach it the same way: assess the situation, explain the work, and get it done. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and knowing what it costs before we start makes the whole process easier. We price jobs up front, explain any additional costs before the work begins, and do not add fees after the fact. If the scope changes, we talk about it with you first.
We offer same-day scheduling when the calendar allows, and we are available for emergency electrical calls after hours and on weekends. Electrical problems do not keep business hours, and neither do we. Whether you have a tripping breaker on a Saturday night or a dead outlet the morning before a busy workday, we can get someone out.
Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Clean work. We keep it that way on every call, every time. We'll have your outlets working again in no time.

We handle the full range of electrical work for homes and businesses in Bryant and across Saline County, from a single dead outlet to a complete service upgrade. The table below lays out what each service covers, who it is best suited for, and a practical note to help you figure out where to start. Every job begins with an upfront estimate so you know the cost before we touch anything.
| Type of Work | What the Job Involves | Common Situations | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Safety Inspections | panel and branch circuit review, grounding system check, code compliance assessment, pre-purchase or pre-rental inspection | buyers of older homes, landlords, or any owner who has not had the wiring reviewed in years | An inspection gives you a clear picture of where the system stands before you commit to a purchase or put a tenant in the property. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | 240-volt appliance outlets, dryer, range, and refrigerator circuits, workshop and garage circuits, proper breaker sizing | homeowners adding a major appliance or a high-draw workshop tool | Sharing a circuit among high-draw appliances is a leading cause of repeated tripping. A dedicated circuit solves it permanently. |
| Electrical Panel Upgrades | 200-amp service upgrades, subpanel installation, load calculations, service entrance and grounding updates | homes with a 100-amp panel, an aging panel, or plans to add EV charging or major appliances | A 200-amp upgrade is the most common high-value job we do in established Bryant neighborhoods. Everything is brought to current code. |
| Backup Generator Installation | transfer switch installation, generator-to-panel wiring, priority circuit sizing, standby and whole-house setups | homeowners in Saline County who lose power during severe storms or ice events | We handle the electrical side: wiring, transfer switch, and circuit sizing. The transfer switch safely isolates your home from the grid during an outage. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | dead outlets and switches, flickering or dimming lights, circuits that won't reset, fault tracing and diagnosis | any homeowner or business owner with an unexplained electrical problem | Most repairs are diagnosed and completed in a single visit. Waiting on a wiring fault rarely makes it cheaper to fix. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | dedicated sump-pump circuit, basement outlet installation, GFCI protection in wet areas, backup sump wiring | homeowners finishing a basement or adding reliable sump-pump protection | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at the worst moment. A dedicated circuit with GFCI protection is the right setup. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | whole-home or partial rewiring, aluminum wiring remediation, knob-and-tube replacement, updated grounding and bonding | owners of homes built before the 1980s with original or outdated wiring | Age alone is not the only problem. Older wiring was sized for loads that bear no resemblance to how people use electricity today. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | new fan mounting and wiring, fixture-to-fan swap, switch and control wiring, rooms without existing wiring | any room adding or replacing a ceiling fan | Rooms that have never had a fan may need a new circuit run. We assess the existing wiring before quoting the job. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | breaker replacement, tripping breaker diagnosis, panel fuse updates, overload assessment | homes where a breaker trips repeatedly or won't hold a reset | A breaker that trips repeatedly is signaling a real problem. Resetting it without a diagnosis can create a safety risk. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger wiring, dedicated 240-volt circuit, panel capacity check, all major EV brands including Tesla | electric vehicle owners who want faster home charging | We start with a panel capacity check. If your current service needs room for the added load, we address that before running the charger circuit. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed LED fixtures, outdoor security and motion lights, pendant and track lighting, landscape and pathway wiring | homeowners upgrading interior or exterior lighting, or adding security lighting | Outdoor lighting in Arkansas needs weatherproof connections and proper circuit sizing to hold up through storm season. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | new branch circuits, rewiring older homes, aluminum and knob-and-tube remediation, AFCI and GFCI breaker upgrades | older homes with outdated wiring or any property adding significant electrical load | Aluminum wiring and knob-and-tube systems are still present in many older Bryant homes and carry real safety concerns if left unaddressed. |
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels | rough-in wiring for new rooms, kitchen and bath remodel circuits, permit coordination, panel capacity for added load | homeowners adding square footage or renovating an existing space | Additions and remodels almost always require a permit and inspection. We coordinate that process as part of the job. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-level surge protector installation, grounding and bonding verification, lightning and utility spike protection | any Bryant home with electronics, appliances, or equipment worth protecting | A nearby lightning strike can send a damaging voltage spike through utility lines into your panel. Panel-level protection stops it before it reaches your devices. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | standard and USB outlets, GFCI and AFCI receptacles, dimmer and smart switches, tamper-resistant receptacles | renovations, code updates, or adding convenience to any room | GFCI outlets are required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. Older homes often lack them. |
How do I know if my home needs a panel or service upgrade?
The most common signs are a 100-amp panel that cannot keep up with modern loads, breakers that trip frequently, no room to add new circuits, or plans to install an EV charger or large appliance. Homes built before the 1980s often have panels that were never designed for today's combination of appliances, home offices, and high-draw electronics. We run a load calculation during the estimate to confirm whether an upgrade is the right move.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker that keeps tripping is usually telling you one of three things: the circuit is overloaded, there is a wiring fault somewhere on the line, or the breaker itself is failing. Resetting it without finding the cause can turn a minor problem into a safety risk. We diagnose the circuit first, then explain exactly what needs to be done before any work begins.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
For jobs that require a permit under Arkansas code, yes. Panel upgrades, service changes, new wiring for additions, and other significant work are permitted and inspected as part of the job. We coordinate that process so you do not have to chase it down yourself. Work performed by licensed electricians is done to current code on every job we take.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We price every job before work begins. The number we quote is the number you pay, with no surprise fees added after the fact.
What are the electrical requirements for a Level 2 EV charger?
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically a 50-amp circuit for most home chargers, though the exact size depends on the unit. We start with a panel capacity check to confirm your current service can handle the added load. If the panel needs a new breaker slot or a capacity upgrade, we take care of that before running the charger circuit to the garage or driveway.
How does backup generator hookup work on the electrical side?
We handle the wiring from the generator to your home's panel and install a transfer switch that safely disconnects your home from the utility grid during an outage. The transfer switch is the critical piece: it prevents back-feeding power onto utility lines, which protects both the equipment and anyone working on the grid nearby. We also size the circuits feeding your priority loads so the generator is not asked to carry more than it can handle.
Do I need to be home while the work is being done?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the work areas, and often the attic or crawl space. We also walk through the findings with you before starting so you can approve the scope and cost. If your situation makes it difficult to be present the entire time, let us know when you call and we will work out the details.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job we take is handled by licensed electricians who know the code and do the work right the first time.
How do estimates and pricing work?
We give you an upfront estimate before any work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay. If something unexpected comes up during the job that changes the scope, we talk with you about it before proceeding. There are no surprise line items after the fact.
Is it safe to DIY electrical repairs, or should I call an electrician?
Swapping a light bulb or resetting a tripped breaker is fine on your own. Anything that involves opening a panel, running new wiring, replacing a breaker, or working inside a junction box carries real risk if the circuit is not properly de-energized and the work is not done correctly. Wiring faults can cause fires or shocks that are not immediately obvious. When in doubt, a call to confirm the scope is worth the few minutes it takes.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
From newer Bryant subdivisions to established neighborhoods with aging wiring, we have seen what this area's homes actually look like inside and we know how to work on them.
Do you have same-day availability for urgent electrical problems?
Yes. We keep same-day availability for repairs that cannot wait, and we take after-hours calls as well. Electrical problems do not keep business hours, and we try to get to you as quickly as the schedule allows. Call us and we will tell you how soon we can get someone out.
What does it mean if my outlets feel warm or make a buzzing sound?
A warm or buzzing outlet is worth taking seriously. It can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a wiring fault behind the wall. These are not problems that resolve on their own, and they can become fire hazards if left alone. Stop using the outlet and call us to have it diagnosed.
How long does a panel upgrade or whole-home rewire take?
A panel upgrade is typically a one-day job, though the timeline can extend slightly if the service entrance needs work or if the inspection schedule adds a day. A whole-home rewire depends on the size of the house and the complexity of the existing wiring, but most rewires in a standard Bryant home run two to four days. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate so you can plan around it.
