On 8/3/2026 Kat had this to say:
What caught my attention was it is Veteran owned so I knew the quality of work would go above and beyond what I would get from anyplace else. Chris and his crew came to our rescue during the recent storms that came thru our area. They replaced a weather header that was taken out during the high winds without this we would have no Power. They brought us from the stone age to modern day

On 8/1/2026 Kathy F. had this to say:
With the crazy weather we have been having...these guys came thru for us. The high winds took out my power line doing structural damage to my home with the weather head power couldn't be restored until it was replaced. Reached out and they came out quickly and replaced it allowing our power to be turned back on. These guys are professional and well trained. It was nice they made sure a mess was not left behind. I will be putting these guys on speed dial

On 7/25/2026 Sherrie A. had this to say:
l called to get a quote for an outside outlet to get fixed. Within 35 mins the crew showed up and fixed. thank you!

On 7/17/2026 Alexis Morris had this to say:
Chris was great and we will definitely call him for any future electrical needs! His clear communication and friendly personality made us wish we’d scheduled sooner. It was a simple fix in our panel and the price was reasonable :)

On 5/28/2026 Lauren Werblo had this to say:
We had an incredible experience with Salty Dog Electrical. The owner, Chris, was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. He installed a new electrical panel for us and ran electric out to our new pool, and he is the kind of person you immediately feel confident trusting with your home because he clearly cares about doing things correctly, safely, and ethically. Chris kept us in the loop every step of the way and was great about explaining what was happening as the job went on. He was communicative, thorough, and made sure we understood everything without making us feel overwhelmed. Chris and his team worked extremely hard through long 12-hour days in the hot sun, and I never heard a single complaint from anyone. His young apprentices were respectful, kind, and hardworking, and it was really impressive to watch Chris take every opportunity to turn the job into a teaching moment for them. You can tell he not only takes pride in his work, but also in training the next generation the right way. When the delivery of a crucial part was delayed on our end, Chris even offered to wait here until it arrived so he could complete the job. While he waited, he planned to do some cleanup and use the extra time to teach his apprentices a few things. I thought that said a lot about the kind of person he is and how much pride he takes in his work. The entire crew was also very kind and engaging with my young daughters whenever they interacted, which I really appreciated. And when Chris discovered corrosion and standing water, he immediately replaced and repaired the issue. He said he treats every home as if it were his own and ethically could not leave it that way. I was so thankful he caught it and handled it the right way. We are so grateful for Chris and his team. Hardworking, respectful, honest, communicative, thorough, and professional. I cannot recommend Salty Dog Electrical enough!

We proudly serve Lowell, Indiana, and surrounding communities. Contact our team to determine whether your property falls within our current service area

Are you licensed and insured?

Do you offer emergency services?

Yes, we provide 24-hour emergency service to ensure you’re never left without support when you need it most. Whether it’s late at night or during a holiday, our team is ready to respond promptly and professionally.

Do you install whole-house generators in Lowell, IN?

What is included with a whole-home generator installation?

Yes. Salty Dog Electrical provides professional whole-house generator installation in Lowell, Indiana, and surrounding communities. As Generac-certified installers, we can help you choose and install a dependable backup power solution designed around your property’s electrical needs.

A generator installation may include connecting the generator to the home’s electrical system, installing a transfer switch, completing the necessary wiring, and testing the system for proper operation. The exact scope depends on your home, generator model, existing service, and desired backup capacity.

Does Salty Dog Electrical repair generators?

How often should a standby generator be serviced?

Yes. We provide generator troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair services to help keep backup power systems reliable. If your generator will not start, does not transfer power correctly, or shows signs of an electrical problem, our team can diagnose the issue and recommend an appropriate solution.

Standby generators should be inspected and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Routine service can identify battery, wiring, transfer switch, or operational issues before the next outage occurs.

What types of projects require electrical trenching?

Do you handle both the trench and the electrical installation?

Electrical trenching may be needed when running power underground to a detached structure, outdoor lighting, pool equipment, hot tub, EV charger, carport, new construction site, or upgraded electrical service. We assess the project and plan an appropriate underground route.

Yes. Depending on the project, we can coordinate the trenching and complete the related underground electrical work. This provides a more streamlined solution for customers who need power extended across their property.

What is an electrical wire pull?

Can you pull wire through existing conduit?

An electrical wire pull involves routing electrical conductors through conduit or another approved pathway. Wire pulls are commonly required for underground services, new circuits, commercial installations, outbuildings, pools, EV chargers, equipment upgrades, and remodeling projects.

Yes, when the existing conduit is accessible and suitable for the new conductors. Our electricians can inspect the pathway, identify potential blockages or damage, and determine whether the existing conduit can be reused.

Does a hot tub need a dedicated electrical circuit?

Can my current electrical panel support a hot tub?

Most hardwired hot tubs require a dedicated circuit sized for the specific unit. Our team will review the manufacturer’s electrical requirements and evaluate your panel to determine the appropriate installation.

That depends on your panel’s capacity, condition, and existing electrical loads. Salty Dog Electrical can inspect your service and determine whether a new circuit can be added or whether a panel or service upgrade should be considered.

When should a home be considered for rewiring?

Can you rewire one room instead of the entire house?

A home may need rewiring when its electrical system is outdated, damaged, unreliable, or unable to support modern electrical demands. Common warning signs include recurring breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, outdated components, and insufficient outlet or circuit capacity.

Yes. We handle electrical remodeling projects of different sizes, from updating a kitchen, bathroom, basement, or addition to completing a full whole-house wiring remodel.
