Panel repair · Wichita & Sedgwick County · 67052
Goddard mixes town lots with acreage on the western edge of Sedgwick County. On the acreage side, more of the electrical system sits outside the house than inside it, and that is where most of the panel work ends up.

How we test a feeder
A panel call on a Goddard acreage property is rarely confined to the panel. Shops, barns, well pumps and gates all hang off the same service, and the faults tend to sit at the joins between them.
Overhead services with longer spans on the acreage properties, and outbuildings that need their own feeders. A detached building feeder brings grounding and bonding requirements that a circuit inside a house does not have, and those rules are frequently the part that was skipped when a shop went up.
Well pumps add another factor. A pump motor starting draws hard, and a pump circuit sharing a board with a house that has since added air conditioning can push a 100 amp service past what it comfortably carries.
Yes. A detached structure fed from the house requires a grounding electrode system at the building itself, and the neutral and grounding conductors have to stay separate all the way there. That is the requirement most often missed on a shop that went up over a weekend.
It is not usually difficult to correct. It is difficult to spot without opening both ends, which is why we test the feeder at the house and at the building rather than only where the complaint is.
Roughly forty-two minutes from the yard, and there is no travel charge inside Sedgwick County. Goddard is in the county, so MABCD permits outbuilding feeders, service upgrades and panel work from 271 W 3rd St N, Suite 101 on (316) 660-1840, inspected against the 2023 National Electrical Code, enforced since January 1, 2025.
More than a board. New service entrance conductors, usually a new meter socket, often a new mast, and on longer overhead spans a review of whether the existing drop still suits the load. Evergy disconnects and reconnects, and that scheduling generally sets your date rather than the work does.
Where a shop or a second building is being added at the same time, the feeder to it is part of the same permit. Doing both together costs less than doing them a year apart, and it means one inspection instead of two.
Goddard sits on the western edge of Sedgwick County, west of Wichita along Kellogg.
Reviews
★★★★
Good work and a fair price on a subpanel for the shop. Only reason it is not five is that the Evergy scheduling added a week nobody could really control. They did warn me that would happen upfront, so it was not a surprise, just a wait.

1920s house, fuse box still in service, and an insurer who had finally noticed. They converted it to a modern breaker panel, handled the MABCD permit and the inspection, and gave me a written record I could send straight to the underwriter. No back and forth.

If it is a detached structure fed from the house, yes. It needs a grounding electrode system at the building itself, and the neutral and grounding conductors must stay separate all the way there. It is the requirement most often missed when a shop goes up without a permit, and it is straightforward to put right.
Pump motors draw hard on startup, and that surge grows as the motor ages. Add summer load from air conditioning on the same service and the margin disappears. We measure the actual starting draw rather than assuming, because the answer is sometimes the pump rather than the electrical system.
Yes, and it is a good part of what we do out here. Shops, barns, well pumps and gate feeders all hang off the same service, and the faults usually sit at the joins between them. We test the feeder at both ends rather than only where the complaint is.
No. Goddard is inside Sedgwick County and treated as standard coverage, about forty-two minutes from our yard. It is one of our longer runs, and the same-day slot for hot, humming or smoking boards still applies.
Give us the street and the name on the panel door. You will get the next slot running in this area, and a same-day one if the board is hot, humming or giving off any smell.
