North Canton is a few minutes up the road from our northwest Canton base, and permit records show Custom Electric working here. The city grew up around the Hoover Company, and much of its housing went up in the decades after the Second World War: brick ranches, split-levels and two-stories on quiet streets, with newer subdivisions farther out.
Houses from that era were wired well for their time, but their 60- and 100-amp panels were sized for a different way of living. The jobs we see most here are panel and service upgrades, finished basements that need real circuits instead of extension cords, and ceiling fans and lighting in rooms that only had a switched outlet.

My North Canton ranch has a 100-amp panel. Do I need an upgrade?
Not automatically. A 100-amp service can be enough for a gas-heated home without big electric loads. If you’re adding central air, an electric range or dryer, an EV charger or a finished basement, or the panel has no open spaces, a load calculation will tell you whether an upgrade is needed.
Can I put a ceiling fan where my light fixture is?
Usually, but the electrical box has to be rated to support a fan. Many older light boxes aren’t. We swap the box for a fan-rated one or add a brace between the joists, then hang and balance the fan.
