Electrical Upgrades Frequently Asked Questions

Here are responses to some of the frequently asked questions we get about our upgrade services:

How should I budget for electrical upgrades?

Pricing depends heavily according to the scope of work. A basic panel upgrade might cost $1,500 to $3,000, while a full rewiring project can cost significantly higher depending on home size. EV charger installation, surge protection, and circuit additions fall in separate ranges.

How long it takes depends on the complexity and scope. A panel replacement can be completed in a single workday. Whole-home rewiring projects may span a week or more depending on the home's size. Clients receive a projected timeline during the quoting phase.

Can electrical upgrades happen while I'm away?

For most projects, someone should remain on-site to provide entry and address decisions. For larger projects, our team works with your schedule to fit your routine. We discuss scheduling requirements during the planning phase.

How do I know whether I need a panel upgrade or full rewiring?

A panel upgrade covers swapping out the main electrical panel — wall wiring is unchanged. Whole-home rewiring removes and reinstalls the wiring running through walls, ceilings, and floors. Aging houses need both. A licensed inspection identifies what's actually required.

Are electrical upgrades required to pass a home inspection?

Certified inspectors flag outdated panels, ungrounded outlets, and code violations in their findings. While home inspections aren't mandatory repair orders, buyers, lenders, and insurance carriers frequently require repairs or upgrades before closing. Completing electrical upgrades prior to selling removes obstacles and prevents last-minute demands.
