Mount Vernon is the Knox County seat, southeast of Mansfield, with a historic public square, older homes on the streets above the Kokosing River, and newer homes spreading out from town. Mount Vernon, Mount Gilead and Delaware are the southern end of our service list.
Older Mount Vernon houses bring the familiar list: original wiring, small services and panels that have been added onto. Newer homes on the edges want the modern list: generators, car chargers, mini-split circuits and whole-house surge protection.

Do you serve Mount Vernon and Knox County?
Yes. Mount Vernon is on our service list, along with Mount Gilead and Delaware to the south and west.
Can you wire a ductless mini-split?
Yes. Mini-splits need a dedicated, properly sized circuit and an outdoor disconnect. We run both to the manufacturer’s amperage specifications and coordinate with your HVAC installer.
Does an older Mount Vernon house need a new panel before adding a generator?
Not always, but we check. A standby generator connects through a transfer switch at your service, so the condition and size of the panel matter.
We look at it during the free estimate and tell you plainly if anything needs to change first.
