Electrician FAQs
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?
It depends on your current service size, the panel location, and whether the meter main needs work too. Most straightforward 100-amp to 200-amp residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day. Call or send the quote form for a free, upfront price, the number we quote is the number you pay.
How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?
It depends on your panel's spare capacity and how far the charger sits from the panel. We run a load calculation first, then give you one upfront price covering the dedicated circuit, charger mounting and commissioning, and the permit.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Frequent breaker trips, a 100-amp panel feeding an EV charger or new appliances, a fuse box, breakers that feel warm, or flickering lights when big appliances kick on are all signs. We'll assess it honestly, if you don't need one, we'll tell you.
