Licensed electricians · Northwest Arkansas
We specialize in panel upgrades, EV chargers and standby generators, plus lighting, repairs and more for homes and businesses across Northwest Arkansas.
What we install
Typical prices from our 2025 jobs in Northwest Arkansas. You get a written flat price after a free estimate, at your home or from photos.
For older or full panels, and homes adding an EV, hot tub or heat pump.
A fast charger at home, so the car is full every morning.
Turns on by itself within seconds of an outage.
We don’t install solar panels, alarm monitoring or home theater, and we don’t repair appliances. We do the panel work solar installers need.
Panel upgrades
Many older homes here have a panel sized for life before EVs, hot tubs and heat pumps. A new one gives you room to add what you want, safely, and most are done in a day.
Signs it’s time
$2,400–$6,500 for most panel upgrades, usually done in one day
EV chargers
We install the charger you bought or one we supply, check that your panel can carry it, pull the permit and finish with a test charge in your car.
From $750 for most garages
Generators
Northwest Arkansas loses power to winter ice and spring wind. There are two ways to be ready.
0% for 18 months on jobs over $2,500, approved credit
How it works
Most upgrades are one visit to look and one day to install. You know the price and the power-off window before we start.
Tell us what you’re adding. A photo of your panel with the door open often gets you a price the same day.

An electrician looks at the panel, the meter and the route for any new wire.

Reviews
“Our panel was a 100 amp box from 1979 with no open slots. Cole drew out the upgrade for us, the power was off from 8:30 to 2, and the inspector signed off that afternoon.”
“I sent two photos of the garage and the panel on a Monday and had a written price that evening. The charger was working by Thursday.”
“Our generator came on by itself during the March windstorm. We didn’t know the power was out until the neighbors texted.”
“Another company told us we needed a new panel for the charger. Hartline said a load manager would do it, and it has, all summer.”
“Fourteen can lights in a finished ceiling and I can’t find a single patch. They vacuumed the attic dust off the counters before they left.”
“Breakers kept tripping when the dryer and a space heater ran. Luis found a loose neutral in ten minutes, and the $129 visit went toward the repair.”
Who we are
Cole Hartline wired new houses across Springdale and Rogers for nine years before starting Hartline with one van in 2013. He wanted to work in homes people already live in, where the job is finding out what’s behind the wall and leaving it better documented than it was.
Today Hartline is eight people and five vans. Cole or Luis Ortega, our other master electrician, plans and signs off every panel, generator and EV charger job.
The shop sponsors a Springdale high school robotics team. Two of our apprentices came from it.

FAQ
Something else? Call or text (479) 555-0163 and Jenna will find you an answer.
Cost
Often not. Many homes can add a charger on the panel they have, sometimes with a small device that pauses charging while the dryer or heat runs. Text us a photo of your panel and we’ll tell you.
Not for upgrades: panels, service upgrades, EV chargers, generators, lighting and remodel wiring. Repairs and troubleshooting are a $129 visit, credited to the repair if you go ahead.
No. The written price is the price unless you add something. If we find a problem behind a wall, we stop, show you and price it before doing it.
Timing
Panel replacements: 4–6 hours. Service upgrades: 6–8 hours. EV chargers: under an hour. You get the window in writing, and we start early so the fridge is back on by afternoon.
Estimate visits within 3 business days. Most installs are on the calendar 1–2 weeks out; service upgrades also depend on the power company’s reconnect date.
Permits
Yes, on every job that needs one. We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector and coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with your power company.
Yes. We install any safety-listed Level 2 charger and keep its warranty intact. If you haven’t bought one, we’ll tell you what fits your panel.
Safety
Some older panels have breakers that don’t trip when they should. If yours is 40 or more years old, shows rust or scorch marks, or a breaker feels warm, send us a photo and we’ll tell you if it needs replacing.
No power to part of the house, sparking, a burning smell, a buzzing panel or storm damage at your house. Call (479) 555-0163 any time; an electrician calls back within 30 minutes. If you see smoke or flames, call 911 first.
