Scott County, IA

Electrician in Davenport, IA

Davenport is the largest city in Scott County, and much of what we find there is wiring laid in long before modern household loads existed: undersized services, crowded panels, circuits extended one room at a time. QCA Electric has worked on that kind of house for more than 35 years. The city requires a licensed contractor to take the permit out, and we do exactly that before anything gets opened up.

Electrical work here needs a permit and a licensed contractor

The city lists new installations and improvements to a property’s electrical system among the work that requires a permit, and it states that contractors are required to take the permit out on behalf of the property owner. Permits and inspections run through Development & Neighborhood Services on East 46th Street.

Where the city stops and the utility starts

Public Works says most roadway lights in the city are owned and maintained by MidAmerican Energy, and publishes a map of the ones it maintains itself. The same split applies at a house: the service drop and the meter belong to the utility, and everything from the meter inward is ours to repair.

Answers

Davenport electrical questions

Do you charge for travel to Davenport?

No. Davenport is part of our core service area and a short drive from the shop, so you are paying for the work rather than the windshield time.

Can you get to a Davenport emergency at night?

Yes. We run 24-hour emergency service, and most emergency calls in the Quad Cities are reached in under an hour.

Do you work on historic homes in Davenport?

Yes. Older homes are a large part of our work, including full rewiring where the existing wiring no longer meets today’s standards.

Who do I call about a dark street light in Davenport?

Check the city’s street lighting map first. Most roadway lights belong to MidAmerican Energy, and only the ones on the city map are reported to Public Works.
