Reputation built on referrals
We have a reputation of excellence throughout Belle Fourche and the surrounding Black Hills. Contractors can instantly tell Wires R Us has been on site, leaving clean, easy to inspect quality work each and every time.
When Belle Fourche homeowners look for a generator backup system, EV charger, or solar setup and need an installer that will do it right, on time, and without a fuss, they call us. We easily explain and kindly help.
Belle Fourche has plenty of homes, shops, outbuildings, and larger properties that need more than a one-size-fits-all electrical solution. Wires R Us has served homeowners, builders, and contractors throughout the Black Hills since 1999. What started with Donahue Williamson and one van is now a second-generation, family-owned electrical company. Over the years, our approach has remained the same: we show up on time, do clean work, and take pride in the result.
We handle new home construction, multi-family wiring, panel upgrades, EV charger installation, and generators for homeowners, builders, and contractors in Belle Fourche and throughout the surrounding area. If a project involves adding electrical capacity, upgrading an existing system, or wiring something from the ground up, we can help figure out what the job actually requires.
Out crews keep the work organized, communicate with the people involved, and clean as they go. For builders and contractors, that means fewer surprises and a crew that understands that importance of keeping a project moving. For homeowners, it means knowing what’s happening before we start and not having to decipher a pile of electrical terminology afterward.
We’re also big believer in doing work that makes sense for the property, rather than automatically reaching for the biggest or most complicated solution. Sometimes the answer is an upgrade, sometimes it’s a repair, and sometimes the answer is that everything is fine and you don’t need to spend money fixing something that isn’t broken.
If you need an electrician in Belle Fourche, Wires R Us brings local Black Hills experience, clean workmanship, and a straightforward approach to every project.

(100A/200A/400A) Service Upgrades
Answers from a second generation Black Hills electrical contractor working the northern hills since 1999.
Yes. Belle Fourche sits at the northern end of our Black Hills service area and we take both residential and commercial work there. Our shop is in Piedmont, so a Belle Fourche job is a planned trip for us, and we schedule it that way on purpose. You get a committed date range up front and our crew arrives inside it.
We cover the rest of the northern hills from the same shop, including Spearfish, Sturgis, and the surrounding rural properties.
The work Belle Fourche homeowners call us for most is EV charger installation, standby generator installation, electrical panel swaps, 100A, 200A and 400A service upgrades, lighting and LED upgrades, and hot tub wiring.
On the build side we handle new construction wiring, multi-family and apartment wiring, and commercial electrical projects.
Yes. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240V circuit and draws a heavy continuous load for hours at a time, which is a different problem from a dryer or a range. The install comes down to whether your existing service has capacity for that load, sizing the conductors and breaker correctly for continuous duty, and taking a clean route from the panel out to where the vehicle actually parks.
Belle Fourche garages and shops often sit some distance from the panel, and long runs are where sizing mistakes show up. If you are installing a plug-in charger, the receptacle also matters: an EV rated outlet uses heavier contacts than a standard 50A receptacle because of how long the load sits on it. We install the correct part, not the cheaper lookalike that fits the same box.
Yes. We install, replace, and service standby generator systems for homes, shops, and businesses in the Belle Fourche area. A whole home system is more than the generator on its pad. It includes the automatic transfer switch, the feeder and grounding work back to the service, fuel connection coordination, and startup testing that proves the system actually picks up the load when utility power drops.
Properties on the outskirts of town tend to care about this more than in-town homes do, because a longer utility feed means more exposure to weather events. We size the system to what you actually need to keep running, then explain how it will behave when it transfers, cycles, and runs its weekly exercise.
Yes, and it is a meaningful share of what we do in this part of the hills. Detached shops, barns, and garages usually mean a buried feeder, a subpanel, and 240V circuits for welders, compressors, or lifts. RV outlets and hot tub circuits fall into the same category. These are all straightforward jobs done correctly and expensive jobs done twice.
The common thread on rural property work is capacity. Before we add a shop feeder or an EV circuit, we look at what the existing service can carry so you are not back in six months finding out the panel was full.
The usual trigger is new load. An EV charger, a hot tub, a heat pump, a detached shop, or a basement finish can push an older 100A service past what it was built for. Condition is the second signal. A panel with no open breaker spaces, visible corrosion, or a manufacturer with a documented safety history is worth looking at before anything gets added to it.
We look at the service, the panel, and what you plan to add over the next few years, then tell you whether a panel swap handles it or whether a full service upgrade is the right move. Sizing for what you will actually need beats paying for the same trip twice.
Yes. Residential new construction is our primary specialty and most of our volume comes from builder relationships, some going back well over a decade. Send us prints and we confirm receipt quickly and ask for your bid-back deadline so the timeline works around your build schedule.
Our bids assume one continuous rough-in trip. We do not leave a job partway through rough-in and come back the following week, which is where a lot of schedule slip on the electrical side comes from. Trim is planned as two trips. To start a conversation about a project, use our contractor and GC contact page.
That is the thing our builders and homeowners bring up most, so it is a fair question to ask. Call us and you get a real date range instead of a vague one, and we hold the range we give you. We plan the drive into the schedule ahead of time so the distance is our problem, not yours.
We also take responsibility for our own work. If something on the job needs to be corrected, we stay on it and take care of it. You are not left chasing a list of problems after the truck leaves.
We run wire the same way on every job. Our crews use one consistent routing method, which means anyone coming behind us, whether that is another trade during the build or an electrician a decade from now, can find a wire on the first hole instead of the fourth. It is also why our job sites stay clean and why builders in this region can tell our work on sight.
On larger projects we can 3D scan the home before drywall goes up, so you end up with a record of exactly where everything runs.
Yes. We offer flexible financing through Affirm with monthly payments over 12, 24, or 36 month terms. Most people use it for the bigger ticket items like a standby generator, an EV charger install, or a panel and service upgrade. Approval is quick and happens before the work gets scheduled. Details are on our electrical financing page.
