Services

Focused electrical work
for homes that expect more.

Whole-Home Generator Installation

Automatic standby systems sized to carry your whole home — sited, permitted, and integrated with your service panel so the transition from grid to generator is seamless and silent.

Battery Backup Systems

Whole-home batteries paired with — or independent of — standby generation, engineered for silent outage protection and resilience during Sierra wildfire-season shutoffs.

Home Automation & Smart Home Upgrades

Lighting, climate, shading, security, and audio brought onto one coherent system — wired at the source rather than bolted on, so the technology stays invisible and the home stays comfortable.

EV Charging Installation

Dedicated circuits and Level 2 charging built for garages with one vehicle or several — load-managed so a new charger never competes with the rest of the house.

About

Thirty years, one family,
homes across Reno.

John Rodgers has spent over three decades as a licensed electrical contractor, with plenty of that time spent inside the homes of Reno's Montreux community — properties where the electrical system has to disappear into the architecture and simply work, every time, with no room for a callback.

That standard is the whole point of Design Electric LLC: not an exclusive service for a few, but the same level of care, precision, and accountability brought to every family we work with. The trade has moved from service panels toward systems — standby power, battery resilience, home intelligence, and electric vehicles — and John built this business to bring that expertise home to any neighborhood in Reno.

When you call Design Electric LLC, you're talking to family — not a call center, not a rotating crew of subcontractors. Every project is scoped, wired, and commissioned personally, the same way it's been for thirty years.

Featured Builder Spotlight

Thirty years of trust,
one home at a time.

Long-term builder relationships are earned through consistency, communication, and work that holds up over time.

"LakeCrest Builders has worked with John and Design Electric LLC on many custom homes over the past 30+ years, and they have always been a company we can count on. John provides excellent customer service, communicates well, and consistently delivers high-quality work. In custom home building, it is important to have subcontractors you trust, and with Design Electric LLC, we never have to worry about the quality or follow-through. Their work is clean, dependable, and done right."
