Your panel is either full or it isn't.

Most people are told they need a service upgrade about a year before they actually do. Work out your own load below, then call us and we will confirm it on site rather than over the phone.

Directory

Written the way a panel legend is

Numbered, plainly described, and in the same order we would actually do them. If a job is not on this list we will tell you who in town does it properly.

01

Service upgrade

100A to 200A, mast, meter base and panel, coordinated with the utility so the power is off for one day rather than three.

1 day, permit included
02

Panel replacement

Old fuse panels and the recalled breaker brands. Circuits relabelled properly, which is half the value.

1 day
03

Knob and tube removal

Staged room by room so you are never without power overnight. Quoted after we open two walls, not before.

Quoted on site
04

EV charger install

Level 2, on its own 40A circuit, sited so the cable actually reaches your car. We check the load first.

Half day
05

Generator transfer switch

Manual or automatic, with a labelled sub-panel of the circuits worth keeping alive in an outage.

1 day
06

Troubleshooting

Nuisance trips, dead outlets, that one light. Hourly, and we tell you when it is cheaper to stop looking and rewire.

$110 per hour
07

Pot lights and lighting

Priced by the fixture with a fixed price for a standard ceiling, so the estimate does not move after the drywall comes down.

Per fixture
08

Inspection and certificate

Pre-purchase electrical inspections and ESA certificates for insurers who are asking awkward questions.

Load calculator

Do you actually need an upgrade?

A rough version of the calculation an electrician does on paper. Tick what you have or are adding. It will not replace a site visit and it is deliberately conservative, but it will tell you whether the conversation is worth having yet.

Booking

We quote free, and we quote in writing

One van, one licensed electrician, so we are honest about the calendar. Emergencies get squeezed in the same day. Everything else is booked to a date rather than a vague week.
