Frequently asked questions
Plain answers to what people ask us most.
When is an electrical problem an emergency?
Call straight away if you see sparks, smell burning, or find an outlet or panel that's hot. Turn off the breaker for that circuit if it's safe.
Can I install an EV charger on my current panel?
Often, yes. We do a load calculation first. Load-managing chargers can avoid a panel upgrade in many homes.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most take one day, and your power is off for about six to eight hours.
Do you pull permits?
Yes, for all work that requires one. The permit cost is included in your quote.
Do I need to rewire my older home?
Not always. Aluminum wiring can sometimes be made safe by repairing connections. We'll inspect it and explain the options.
Are your electricians employees?
Yes. We don't use subcontractors, and everyone working in your panel is licensed.
Sparks, flickers or a burning smell?
Turn off the breaker for that circuit and call us. Electrical faults don't fix themselves.
