Electrical Upgrades FAQ

Below are responses to some of the typical questions we get about our upgrade services:

What does an electrical upgrade cost for a home or business?

Costs vary widely according to the project size. A simple service upgrade might run between $1,200 and $3,500, while a full rewiring project can range from significantly higher depending on home size. EV charger installation, surge protection, and circuit additions each carry their own pricing. We provide clear pricing proposals before any work begins so there are no hidden costs.

How many days will the project take?

How long it takes depends on the type of upgrade. Service upgrades can be completed in a single workday. Rewiring a full home may take three to seven days depending on the home's size. Our team provides a realistic schedule estimate during the initial assessment.

Should homeowners stay on-site during upgrades?

Depending on the scope, a property owner or representative needs to be present to grant access and answer questions. When work spans multiple days, our team works with your schedule to reduce disruption to your day. Our electricians go over scheduling requirements during the planning phase.

What's the difference between a panel upgrade and whole-home rewiring?

Service panel replacement covers updating the distribution point of your system — existing branch circuits remain. Whole-home rewiring replaces every conductor in the home. Aging houses need both. A licensed inspection determines the right path forward.

Will I fail a home inspection without upgrading my electrical system?

Real estate inspection professionals flag unsafe or non-compliant electrical conditions in their reports. While no law forces sellers to upgrade immediately, buyers, lenders, and insurance carriers frequently require electrical improvements as a sale condition. Completing electrical upgrades prior to selling removes obstacles and protects your sale.
