Accepted Answer

You should consider a panel upgrade if your home still has a fuse box, your breakers trip frequently, you're adding major appliances, or you're planning a home addition or EV charger install. Most older homes in our area have 100-amp panels that struggle with modern electrical loads.

Question 10

How long does a typical electrical job take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope. Simple jobs like outlet replacements or fixture installs can be done in an hour or two. Panel upgrades usually take a day. Generator installations typically take 1–2 days. Solar and larger commercial projects can take several days to a few weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline in your estimate.
