Electrical FAQ
Questions homeowners ask us
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
If your home still runs on 100-amp service, a fuse box, or you're adding an EV charger, kitchen remodel, or addition, an upgrade to 200-amp (or higher) is often required. We'll assess your load and tell you honestly whether you need it.
Can you install an EV charger in my garage?
Yes. We install Level 2 home chargers sized to your vehicle and panel, including any sub-panel or service upgrade needed, with a clean, permitted install.
Do you pull permits for electrical work?
Always. Permitted, inspected work protects your home, your insurance, and your resale value. We handle the permits and inspections for you.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Warm outlets, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, two-prong outlets, or knob-and-tube wiring are all signs. We'll inspect and give you a clear, prioritized plan — not a scare tactic.
