Electrical Services in Kansas City and Johnson County

Lenexa and the surrounding Johnson County corridor spans two distinct eras of residential construction: 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods where panels are often at or near capacity and wiring is showing its age, and newer developments around Lenexa City Center and 87th Street where homeowners want modern electrical infrastructure to support EV charging, home offices, and whole-home backup power. Lutz serves both.

Our certified technicians handle the full range of residential electrical work, from panel upgrades and service replacements to EV charger installation, generator hookups, outlet and switch work, ceiling fan installation, and everyday electrical repairs. All work is performed to Kansas and local code by licensed electricians.

Our office is at 7928 Quivira Road, Lenexa, KS 66215 in Lenexa. We serve Lenexa, Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe, Prairie Village, Leawood, and the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line. Emergency electrical service is available 24/7.

Panel Upgrades and Service Replacement

A 100-amp panel was adequate for a 1970s home. It is not adequate for a home that runs a modern HVAC system, an EV charger, a home office, and a tankless water heater. Panel upgrades to 200-amp service are one of the most common electrical projects we complete across Johnson County, and one of the most impactful for homeowners who have been living with tripped breakers and limited capacity.

We handle the full scope: load calculation, permit coordination, utility notification, and installation. See our panel upgrades page for the complete process.

EV Charger Installation

Level 2 home EV charging requires a dedicated 240V/50A circuit and a licensed electrician to install it properly. We install EV charging equipment from all major manufacturers, assess panel capacity before every installation, and can plan for future second-vehicle capacity if needed. Details on the installation process, charger selection, and panel requirements are on our EV charger installation page.

Whole-Home Generator Installation

Kansas City-area severe weather, including the ice storms and summer storm systems that regularly affect Johnson County, can knock out power for hours or days. A permanently installed standby generator connected to your home’s natural gas or propane supply starts automatically within seconds of a power failure and runs until utility power is restored. See our generator installation page for system sizing, transfer switch options, and what the installation involves.

Electrical Repairs

Tripped breakers that will not reset, outlets that stopped working, flickering lights, warm switch plates, and burning smells are all signals that require a licensed electrician, not a wait-and-see approach. We diagnose and repair the full range of residential electrical problems. See our electrical repairs page for common issues and how we handle them.

Outlet, Switch, and Ceiling Fan Installation

Adding outlets in a garage or home office, upgrading to GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, replacing outdated switches with smart dimmers, and installing ceiling fans with new wiring are all within our daily scope. These projects are straightforward when done by a licensed electrician and frequently create problems when they are not. See our outlet and switch installation and ceiling fan installation pages for specifics.

Lutz Loyalty Club

Members of the Lutz Loyalty Club receive priority scheduling, member pricing on parts and labor, and no overtime charges on emergency service calls. For homeowners who want reliable access to a trusted electrician without hunting for one at the moment of need, the plan delivers that peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What electrical services does Lutz provide in Lenexa and Johnson County?

We provide a full range of residential electrical services including panel upgrades and service replacements, EV charger installation, whole-home generator installation and hookup, outlet and switch installation, ceiling fan installation, GFCI and AFCI protection upgrades, circuit additions, and general electrical repairs. All work is performed by licensed electricians to Kansas and local code.

Does Lutz provide 24/7 emergency electrical service?

Yes. Emergency electrical service is available 24/7 with no overtime charges. For electrical emergencies involving sparking, burning smells, or a panel that will not hold power, call (913) 631-2667 immediately.

How do I know if my home needs a panel upgrade?

Common indicators include breakers that trip frequently or will not reset, a panel that feels warm to the touch, a fuse box that has not been updated, limited breaker slots that prevent adding new circuits, or plans to add an EV charger, generator, or significant new appliance load. See our panel upgrades page for a detailed assessment guide.

Does Lutz pull permits for electrical work?

Yes. All electrical work requiring a permit under Kansas and Johnson County code is permitted and inspected. We handle permit coordination as part of the project. Unpermitted electrical work creates liability issues at resale and may not be covered by homeowner’s insurance if a related claim is filed.

Do I need a licensed electrician to install an EV charger?

Yes. A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit, proper breaker sizing, and installation that meets NEC and local code requirements. In Kansas, this work must be performed by a licensed electrician. An improperly installed EV charger circuit is a fire hazard, particularly in a garage environment with temperature swings and potential moisture exposure.

Does Lutz serve Overland Park, Shawnee, and Olathe in addition to Lenexa?

Yes. Our service area covers Lenexa, Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe, Prairie Village, Leawood, and the broader Kansas City metro on both the Kansas and Missouri sides. Call (913) 631-2667 or contact us online to schedule.

Can Lutz handle electrical work alongside plumbing or HVAC projects?

Yes. As a full-service home services company, Lutz coordinates electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work under a single relationship. Projects like tankless water heater installation (which often requires a new dedicated circuit), EV charger installation combined with a panel upgrade, or generator installation involving both electrical and gas work benefit from a single contractor who handles the full scope.

Is financing available for electrical work?

Yes. Financing is available for qualifying homeowners on larger projects. See our financing page for current options.
