Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to upgrade my panel if I'm installing new appliances?

    Often, yes — especially if your panel is older or near capacity. We can inspect your system and recommend whether a panel upgrade is necessary for safe operation.

  • Is your work covered by warranty?

    Yes, we stand behind all work with a satisfaction guarantee. Installations are done to code and built to last.

  • How do I know if I need rewiring?

    Signs include flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, warm outlets, or outdated wiring types (like aluminum or knob-and-tube). We offer full home inspections and honest advice.

  • Can you install EV charging stations?

    Yes — we install EV chargers and ensure your panel is ready to handle the additional load.
