Residential · Commercial · IndustrialElectri-Tech, Inc. was started in Wichita in 1999 and still works out of 2386 S Greenwich Rd, on the east side of town. Wichita is where the company’s project managers and licensed electricians do most of their residential, commercial and industrial work.
Wichita’s housing tells the city’s history. College Hill, Riverside, Delano and Midtown have homes from the early 1900s through the 1930s. After the war, the aircraft plants that earned Wichita the name Air Capital set off a building boom, and thousands of ranch homes went up from the late 1940s on. Each era brings its own electrical issues.
The commercial and industrial side is just as varied: retail and restaurant buildouts along the big corridors, offices downtown and in Old Town, and manufacturing, aviation suppliers and warehouses that need switchgear, controls and machine wiring.

What we see in Wichita buildings
Prewar wiring
Homes in the older core can still hide knob-and-tube wiring, two-prong outlets and circuits that were extended again and again.
Postwar panels at the limit
Ranch homes from the 1950s to the 1970s were wired for far less than central air, a modern kitchen and an EV. Panel and service upgrades are common.
1960s–70s equipment
Some homes from this era have Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels or aluminum branch wiring, which deserve a professional evaluation.
Plant and shop work
Industrial customers need switchgear upgrades, control and motor wiring, and new machine hookups done right the first time.

Who issues electrical permits in Wichita?

MABCD also requires journeyman and master trade certificates for electricians working in its jurisdiction. Electri-Tech pulls the permit and schedules the inspection for its jobs.
My Wichita house was built in the 1950s. Does it need a new panel?
Not automatically, but many do. A 1950s house was often built with 60- or 100-amp service and few circuits, so central air, a remodeled kitchen or an EV charger can push it past what it was designed for.
Signs you are near the limit: breakers that trip, lights that dim when the AC starts, a panel with no open spaces, or a fuse box. An electrician can do a load check and tell you whether an upgrade makes sense.
