Frequently Asked Questions
Residential Services


How much does it cost to install a new electrical panel?
The cost to install a new electrical panel  ranges. The price can vary based on several factors, including the panel's amperage (e.g., a 200-amp panel is more expensive than a 100-amp one), labor costs, the need for additional electrical work, and local permit fees.
 

What are the signs of outdated electrical wiring?
Common signs of outdated electrical wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights when you use appliances, outlets or switches that are warm or discolored, and a burning smell from outlets or your electrical panel. Homes built before the 1980s may also have unsafe aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, which are serious fire hazards.
 

Do I need a licensed electrician for EV charger installation?
Yes, it's highly recommended and often required to use a licensed electrician for EV charger installation. A professional electrician ensures the work is done safely, in compliance with local electrical codes, and helps you obtain the necessary permits and inspections. Attempting a DIY installation can be dangerous and may void the charger's warranty or your home insurance.

How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?
It's generally recommended to have a professional electrical inspection every 3 to 5 years. However, an inspection is also advisable when you buy a new home, if your home is over 40 years old, or after a major renovation that involved new electrical work.

What are GFCI and AFCI outlets, and where do I need them?
  • GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are designed to protect people from electrical shock. They are required in areas where water may be present, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoors.
  • AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets protect against electrical fires caused by dangerous arcing. They are typically required in bedrooms, living rooms, and most other living spaces of the home.
