Our Focus on Residential Electrical Service
When most people think about electrical work, they tend to group everything together — homes, businesses, factories, repairs, new builds — all under the same umbrella. In reality, the electrical trade is made up of distinct disciplines, each with different environments, workflows, and expectations.
Understanding these differences helps homeowners know who to call — and helps ensure they receive service that’s actually designed for their needs.
At Alokin Electric, we specialize exclusively in residential electrical service. That focus is intentional, and it shapes how we operate, how we schedule, and how we serve homeowners throughout Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.
The Three Primary Electrical Disciplines
Within the electrical trade, there are three main disciplines:
Residential Electrical
Electrical systems in homes and residential structures.
Commercial Electrical
Electrical systems in offices, retail spaces, medical facilities, schools, churches, and other commercial buildings.
Industrial Electrical
Electrical systems in factories, plants, and industrial facilities — often involving high-voltage equipment, machinery, and ongoing maintenance programs.
Each discipline serves a different type of client and environment, and each requires a different approach.
New Construction vs. Service Work
Within each discipline, there are two broad categories of work:
New construction, which involves wiring electrical systems from the ground up during the construction of a new building.
Service work, which involves repairing, upgrading, expanding, or troubleshooting electrical systems in existing, occupied buildings.
This creates six distinct areas of practice within the electrical trade:
Residential new construction
Residential service
Commercial new construction
Commercial service
Industrial new construction
Industrial service
While our electricians are licensed and experienced across multiple electrical disciplines, Alokin Electric focuses on one specific lane:
Residential electrical service for existing homes.
What Residential Electrical Service Includes
Residential electrical service involves much more than basic repairs. It requires diagnosing existing systems, adapting older wiring to modern electrical demands, and making safe, code-compliant improvements to homes that are already lived in.
Our residential electrical services include:
Electrical panel upgrades and replacements
(also known as breaker boxes or fuse boxes)Electrical troubleshooting and repairs
Partial and full home rewires for existing homes
Indoor and outdoor lighting installations
EV charger installations
RV power pedestals and RV electrical hookups
Electrical upgrades for home additions and remodels
Outbuilding wiring, including shops, garages, detached structures, and tiny homes
Meter boxes
Pool and hot tub panels
Code corrections and safety-related electrical upgrades
These systems must function safely and reliably inside a home — often while the homeowner and their family are present.
Homes Are Not Construction Sites
Residential electrical service is fundamentally different from working on a construction site or in an industrial environment. An occupied home is a personal space, often with families, children, pets, and daily routines happening alongside the work.
Working inside occupied homes comes with higher standards. Along with licensing and experience, our electricians meet professional residential-service requirements; from background checks and drug screening to clear communication and respect for the home.
That difference also shapes how the work is performed. Our electricians take care to protect the home, wear boot covers when appropriate, clean up after themselves, and communicate clearly about what they’re seeing and recommending. The goal is to complete the work efficiently while minimizing disruption.
Less chaos for us means less chaos for our customers and that’s exactly how residential service should feel.
Why We Specialize in Residential Service
Because we focus exclusively on residential service, our processes are designed specifically for homeowners.
That means:
Scheduling built around timely service, not construction timelines
On-site diagnostics performed by licensed electricians
Clear explanations and upfront expectations
Systems built for repair, upgrades, and existing electrical systems
By staying in our lane, we’re able to remain efficient, responsive, and organized and provide service without the delays or uncertainty that can come from juggling unrelated types of projects.
What We Don’t Do
Alokin Electric does not perform:
Commercial electrical work
Industrial electrical work
New residential construction
These fields are not “better” or “worse”. They are simply different disciplines with different demands. Commercial and industrial work often involves long build schedules, large crews, ongoing maintenance contracts, and jobsite-style environments.
Rather than trying to cover every type of electrical work, we’ve chosen to focus on doing residential service exceptionally well.
Licensed, Experienced, and Purposefully Focused
Our electricians are licensed, code-knowledgeable, and experienced in diagnosing and repairing residential electrical systems. They understand electrical theory, load calculations, and the National Electrical Code — and they apply that knowledge in real homes, with real people living in them.
We know how to work across disciplines.
We choose to focus on residential service.
That focus allows us to deliver work that is safer, clearer, more efficient, and better aligned with homeowner expectations.
