Why choose KOM USA
Licensed and insured
Both, on every job. It is worth asking any contractor to show you — including us.
Metro Detroit only
Wayne, Oakland and Macomb. Local enough that turning up matters to us.
Honest pricing
Where a job can be priced up front, it is — set before we arrive, not after. Where it genuinely depends on what we find, we quote once we have seen the work, because a number given any earlier is a guess.
One team for both trades
Maintenance and construction under one roof, so the people who build it are the people you call afterwards.

Send us the details and we will come out, look at the work, and quote it. No Electrical job is priced from a phone call, because a number given before we have seen it is a guess.
Common electrical questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A breaker that keeps tripping may indicate an overloaded circuit, short circuit, ground fault, arc fault, or defective device. Unplugging recently added devices can help identify a simple overload. If the breaker trips again with little or nothing connected, stop resetting it and have the circuit inspected.
Is a flickering light something to worry about?
One flickering bulb is often caused by the bulb or fixture, but flickering across several lights can indicate a wiring or electrical-supply problem. Turn the light off before tightening or replacing the bulb. If several rooms flicker or the problem becomes worse, have the electrical system inspected.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs upgrading?
A panel may need an upgrade if it's damaged, frequently overloaded, or cannot support the home’s current or planned electrical demand. Repeated breaker trips or insufficient circuit capacity are reasons to have it evaluated. We inspect the panel and the home’s electrical needs before recommending an upgrade.
What is a GFCI outlet, and where do I need them?
GFCI protection shuts off power quickly when it detects current leaking from its intended path, which helps reduce the risk of electric shock. It is commonly required in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, outdoor areas, and other locations near water. Exact requirements depend on the work and the electrical code in force.
My older Detroit home has knob-and-tube wiring — is that a problem?
Knob-and-tube wiring is not automatically failing, but its age and limitations make its condition important to inspect. Problems arise when wiring has deteriorated, been improperly modified, or is surrounded by materials it was not designed for. We would need to look at the existing system before saying whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
Why did the outlets in one room stop working?
A tripped breaker or GFCI is one of the first things to check when several outlets stop working together. Reset it once if it is safe to do so. If power doesn’t return or it trips again, stop resetting it and have the circuit inspected. Do not use an outlet that is hot, discolored, sparking, or smells burned.
How many outlets can safely be on one circuit?
There's no single safe number that applies to every circuit. The circuit capacity, wiring size, outlet use, and electrical code requirements determine what it can support. Counting outlets alone doesn't tell you whether a circuit is overloaded, so higher-demand rooms or planned additions should be evaluated based on the actual electrical load.
What electrical warning signs should I never ignore?
Burning smells, sparks, hot or discolored outlets, repeated breaker trips, buzzing from electrical equipment, and shocks from switches or appliances should never be ignored. Stop using the affected circuit or device when you can do so safely. If you see active fire or heavy smoke, leave the area and call 911.
