Locally Owned. Deeply Committed to West Alabama.
Burnett Electric provides West Alabama homeowners with honest, licensed residential electrical services, upfront itemized pricing, and uncompromising safety.
Shad Burnett
Burnett Electric is a locally owned and operated residential electrical contracting company headquartered in Buhl, Alabama, proudly serving homeowners across Tuscaloosa and surrounding counties.
Founded by Shad Burnett, our company was built in direct response to the frustration local families face with large franchise conglomerates: aggressive sales commissions, opaque diagnostic fees, and hurried technicians who treat homes like construction zones.
At Burnett Electric, we believe in doing things right the first time. Whether we are upgrading an outdated 100-amp fuse box to a modern 200-amp panel, wiring a whole-home standby generator, or repairing a hazardous flickering circuit, we bring the exact same level of precision, respect, and code compliance to every home we enter.

Protecting West Alabama Homes From Modern Electrical Hazards
Many residential neighborhoods in Tuscaloosa, Northport, and surrounding communities were built during eras when household power consumption was a fraction of what it is today. Older homes frequently still rely on 60-amp or 100-amp main breaker panels, cloth-insulated wiring, or ungrounded two-prong outlets that cannot safely support today’s high-draw HVAC heat pumps, induction ranges, home office computer setups, and EV chargers.
Overloaded circuits and aged breaker boxes (such as Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels) represent severe hidden fire and safety risks. Burnett Electric specializes in residential diagnostics, pinpointing loose neutrals, overheated busbars, and inadequate earthing systems before they cause catastrophic property damage.
When you invite Burnett Electric into your home, you are not receiving a high-pressure sales pitch. You receive a clear, thorough safety assessment, practical solutions scaled to your exact budget, and clean, code-compliant workmanship guaranteed for 12 months.
