Local conditions

Electrical work in Helena’s Old Town and its newer neighborhoods

Helena started as a settlement called Cove in the 1830s, was renamed Hillsboro in 1856, and later became an industrial town with steel mills, a cotton gin, a grist mill, coal mines and a rail yard. Old Town Helena along Helena Road still has small shops and service businesses in railroad-era buildings near the original station. Older commercial buildings can carry decades of patched wiring and added circuits, and the symptoms are the ones we hear about: lights that flicker, outlets that go dead, breakers that trip.

Around Old Town, Helena grew quickly once suburban growth from Birmingham reached it in the late twentieth century, with new neighborhoods added since 2010 and a new high school. Newer homes mean ceiling fans, lighting and charger circuits. Backup power is also a common question, and we handle consultation, installation and service for Generac whole-house generators. Whatever the building, describe what you are seeing in the request form and we will tell you whether it is something we handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have another question?
The lights in my Old Town Helena shop flicker and a few outlets are dead. Where do you start?

We start by troubleshooting: checking the breakers, the affected outlets and switches, and the connections behind them. In older buildings the cause is often a past repair or added circuit. We find the cause, tell you what we found, and then repair it.

Is Helena in your service area even though your office is in Pelham?

Yes. Our office is at 123 Hilltop Business Center Drive in Pelham, near Helena, and our team works throughout Helena for homes and businesses. Use the request form or call (205) 341-9500, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Can you add a ceiling fan and outdoor lighting on our covered Helena patio?

Yes. Fans and fixtures outdoors need to be rated for damp or wet locations, and the fan needs proper support. We install ceiling fans and indoor and outdoor lighting; tell us about the patio in the request form and we will go from there.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Handy Dudes Electrical holds Alabama Electrical Contractor License #04824 and is insured, and our electrical work is done to code for your safety.
