Apple Valley Electrician – Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Apple Valley?

In many cases, yes. Apple Valley typically requires permits for electrical work such as panel/service upgrades, new circuits, and changes to existing wiring. Schlemmer Electric can help determine when a permit is needed and handle the permitting and inspection coordination as part of the job.

Are older Apple Valley homes more likely to need panel upgrades?

Some Apple Valley homes were built decades ago and may have older electrical panels or limited capacity for today’s electrical use. If breakers trip often, lights dim or flicker, or you’re adding new appliances, finishing a basement, or remodeling, it’s a good idea to have your panel evaluated.

Why do my lights flicker or breakers trip in my Apple Valley home?

Common causes include loose connections, overloaded circuits, aging breakers, or issues inside the electrical panel. If the problem is frequent or affects multiple rooms, it’s best to have a licensed electrician diagnose it to ensure everything is safe and code-compliant.

Do you provide electrical services for Apple Valley businesses?

Yes. We serve Apple Valley commercial properties such as offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-tenant buildings. We can help with troubleshooting, lighting repairs and upgrades, dedicated circuits, panel work, and ongoing electrical maintenance.

Can you help with electrical work for remodels and basement finishing in Apple Valley?

Absolutely. Remodeling is a great time to improve electrical safety and convenience—adding circuits, upgrading lighting, relocating outlets and switches, and ensuring modern code requirements are met. We can help plan clean, code-compliant electrical updates for your project.

Do you handle electrical repairs after a home inspection in Apple Valley?

Yes. If a home inspection flags electrical issues—such as missing GFCI protection, open junction boxes, double-tapped breakers, or outdated components—we can correct the items and provide documentation of the completed work.

Can you install or repair exterior and security lighting in Apple Valley?

Yes. We install and repair exterior lighting for homes and businesses, including entry lights, garage lighting, pathway lighting, and security lighting. We can also troubleshoot exterior circuits, timers, and photocells to keep lighting working reliably year-round.

Honest review from a local. The owner responded very promptly, walked me through what to expect. A 2 man crew was here 3 days later (I had no rush for service). I was worried about going over initial hour cost and just wanted a good job done on my ceiling fan installation. The fan is perfect, and they did 3 other jobs in the time and had no thought of charging more. Book these people, they’re trusted.

We’ve used Schlemmer Electric for a few projects now. They have been consistently great each time. They are prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant to have in your home. They put a service panel in and have helped with several bath remodels. Shawn and Ben have been excellent to work with. They are professional and have an attention to detail. They were there when we needed them, even on a last minute call. I highly recommend them. They are our go to electricians!

Dan Schlemmer gets it done! Diagnosis was transparent, interaction was genial, and most importantly the work is solid. I'm glad I invested in this company as opposed to a big name with loud marketing, because it seemed like safety was the first priority. Added bonus: projected timeframe was 5-6 hrs. actual completion was under 4 hrs.

They were very professional, effective, and honest. They also answered my call promptly, whereas I did not receive answers from other electricians that I called.

I requested an electrician visit through Schlemmer Electric's website, not expecting a quick reply (my problem was not urgent). I was very pleased to get a call from Shawn the next day, and he and Ben were able to stop by that same day and diagnose my problem (bad drivers for LED strip lighting). They needed to order a part and promised they'd be out as soon as it came in, which they did. Problem fixed! Nice guys, quality work, reasonable price--I'll never call anyone else for electrical help in my home. Strong recommendation!
