Our Services
Electrical Services
Most electricians quote one number and charge another. At ACE, the estimate you get is the job you're billed for.
Ryan Myers started ACE in 2010 and still shows up on service calls himself, including here in Independence. Every tech on his crew runs the same way: explain what's actually needed, do the work, clean up completely. No upselling. No surprise line items. Whether it's a panel upgrade, an EV charger installation, or tracking down a breaker that keeps tripping, ACE brings a full range of electrical services backed by real commercial-project experience to every Independence job, which means they've already solved the complicated stuff before they get to your house.
You get a straight answer on price before anyone touches a wire, and you deal with the same company from the first call to the final inspection.
Lighting Installation
Homeowners often think of lighting as an afterthought until the fixture they bought online doesn't fit the box behind the wall. ACE handles that part too, right alongside the electrical work.
From recessed lighting in older homes near the Square to fresh installs out toward newer parts of Independence, the same crew that's been running electrical calls in the area since 2010 also handles the full range of lighting installation work: ceiling fans, landscape lighting, outdoor and security fixtures, interior accent lighting. Nothing gets subcontracted out, and nothing gets left half-wired behind a wall plate.
You get one company, one crew, and one straight answer on price, whether you're rewiring a panel or just adding a fan to the back porch.
Commercial & Industrial Services
Independence isn't just a residential city, and the electrical needs around a historic downtown like the Square are different from the ones out near newer development. Older commercial buildings, tenant improvements, retail spaces changing hands, property managers juggling multiple units, that work calls for a different kind of reliability than a standard house call.
ACE brings real commercial-project experience to that side of the work, the kind you don't get from a crew that's only ever wired houses. Licensed, insured, and used to coordinating around a business's hours instead of shutting one down mid-day. Whether it's an older commercial building near downtown or a growing space elsewhere in Independence that needs updated wiring to pass inspection, commercial electrical services are handled with the same no-upselling, straight-pricing approach as everything else ACE does in Independence.
Independence's Rich History
Officially founded on March 29, 1827, and named for the nation's Declaration of Independence, coinciding with the country's 50th anniversary. As the county seat of Jackson County, it quickly became known as the "Queen City of the Trails," the jumping-off point where pioneers loaded their wagons for the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California Trails. Long before any of that, it was also home to a young Harry Truman, who moved here as a boy in 1890 and later returned as the nation's 33rd president.
Neighborhoods and Streets
A few areas of town carry that pioneer history and hometown pride more than others.
- Independence Square, the historic courthouse district where wagon trains once circled before heading west
- The Englewood Arts District, known for its tree-lined streets and local galleries and cafes
- Blue Ridge Boulevard, a quiet residential stretch on the south side of town
- Fairmount, tucked near the Truman Presidential Library along U.S. 24
Community and Lifestyle
Life here is shaped by nearly 800 acres of parks and trails, a bustling Uptown Market, and a genuine sense that history is still part of daily life rather than something behind glass. Families gather every Labor Day for Santa-Cali-Gon Days, and the Truman Sports Complex is just a short drive away for Chiefs and Royals games. Between the historic homes downtown and the newer neighborhoods filling in on the east side, there's a version of Independence that fits just about any stage of life.
Getting Around Independence
However you're getting through town or out to the rest of the metro, a handful of routes carry most of the traffic.
- U.S. Route 24 runs east-west, linking Independence to Kansas City and Buckner
- Missouri Route 291 connects you north-south to Liberty and Lee's Summit
- Interstate 70 cuts along the southern edge of town, putting downtown Kansas City about 20 minutes away
