Tim Sky grew up in Columbus, Nebraska and began working in the electrical trade in 2012. He entered the trade through an apprenticeship and spent much of his career working around commercial and industrial electrical systems.
Tim credits the electricians who trained him with shaping the way he approaches the work today: pay attention to the details, understand the system, and do the job correctly.
Sky's Electrical Contracting is owner-operated, so customers work directly with Tim rather than being passed through a large service company.
Sky's Electrical Contracting is owner-operated. Tim talks with customers about the project, evaluates the electrical system, explains what he finds, and is directly accountable for the work completed under the Sky's name.
A breaker that repeatedly trips is usually telling you something on the circuit needs attention. Tim says possible causes can include an overloaded circuit, moisture, damaged wiring, connected equipment, or another electrical fault.
The right approach is to find the cause rather than simply replacing the breaker with a larger one.
Electrical troubleshooting and repairOlder electrical equipment does not automatically mean the entire system needs to be replaced. Tim evaluates the panel's condition, existing service size, electrical demand, and what you plan to add before recommending a panel replacement or service upgrade.
Many homes around Columbus have older 100-amp electrical services. Whether that needs to change depends on the home and its electrical demand.
Electrical panel upgrades in ColumbusBefore adding a Level 2 EV charger, the existing electrical panel and service should be evaluated to determine whether the home has enough available capacity.
Some homes can support the charger with the existing electrical system. Others may need additional electrical work.
EV charger installationElectrical work is easier to plan before walls and finishes are complete.
Tim looks at the existing panel capacity, current wiring, new electrical loads, and how the finished space will actually be used before circuits are added.
Dedicated circuits and remodel electricalTim's electrical career includes substantial commercial and industrial experience. Sky's Electrical Contracting works with Columbus businesses on electrical repairs, lighting, dedicated circuits, panel work, tenant improvements, equipment power, and other commercial electrical projects.
That background shapes how Tim approaches electrical systems today: understand how the system works, identify the actual problem, and complete the work correctly.

Electrical projects can involve more than simply installing equipment. Depending on the project, homeowners and businesses may need to consider:
Nebraska generally uses the 2023 National Electrical Code as its minimum electrical standard, subject to Nebraska-specific laws, amendments, and exceptions. Electrical inspection jurisdiction can also depend on the property and type of project.
Sky's can explain what applies to the specific electrical work being completed.

We had an electrical issue last night, so I reached out to Sky Electrical, and they were able to come out the very next day in a timely manner. He worked efficiently, quickly diagnosed the problem, and kept me informed throughout the process. Even with me being out of state, he was still able to get everything taken care of without any issues. Excellent service, great communication, and very professional. I highly recommend Sky Electrical for anyone needing reliable electrical work!
Thank you to Sky's for upgrading our panel in our home yesterday. My family and I appreciate how professional and timely the service was. Looking forward to our next project of adding an EV charging outlet in the garage!
