Understanding Your Quote: Customization Factors
Every home is unique. While our base theory remains the same, these site-specific factors help us tailor the perfect solution for you.
Materials & Build Class We select the right conductor for your load requirements—from Aluminum (#2 or 4/0) for standard efficiency to Copper (#4 or 2/0) for maximum conductivity. We also match your home’s aesthetic with the correct conduit type, whether that’s standard PVC, rigid EMT, or flexible SER cable.
Structural Integration We treat your home with respect. The siding type (Vinyl, Stucco, Brick, or Stone) dictates how we anchor the new service.
Solid masonry (brick/stone) or fragile surfaces (stucco/slate) may require specialized mounting solutions like strut rack systems to ensure a secure, damage-free install.
Site Access & Excavation (Underground Service) For underground feeds, we assess the distance from the meter to the house and the terrain density.
Trenching: Machine vs. Hand Digging based on yard access.
Restoration: Cutting/patching concrete or pavement if ground rods cannot be placed in soil.
Code Compliance & Safety We don’t cut corners. Our quote includes bringing your system up to current city/state codes.
Grounding: Updating water/gas line bonds and separating neutrals from grounds to eliminate objectionable current.
Permits: Handling all required city and utility paperwork.
Clearance: Ensuring overhead lines clear roofs/walkways and installing risers if necessary.
Electrical Load Calculation
The Blueprint for Your Home’s Capacity
Before you add heavy appliances, you need to know if your panel can handle the weight. A Load Calculation creates the official roadmap for your home’s power.
Service Snapshot
- Service Type: Diagnostics & Planning
- Turnaround: 24-48 Hours
- Investment: $279.00 (Credited toward your upgrade if you hire us)
What Is It & Why It Matters
A load calculation is a physics check for your electrical system. It confirms exactly what your property is using now—and what it can safely handle in the future.
- Safety First: Avoids nuisance tripping, flickering lights, and overheating wires.
- Smart Spending: Determines if you actually need a heavy-up (service upgrade) or if your current panel has hidden capacity.
- Code Compliance: Many cities require this document for rental permits or major renovation inspections.
Common Triggers
We recommend a Load Calculation before installing any of the following:
- EV Chargers (Level 2)
- HVAC Upgrades (Heat Pumps, Mini-Splits, Electric Heat)
- Major Appliances (Hot Tubs, Electric Ranges, Tankless Water Heaters)
Expansions (Finished Basements, ADUs, Home Additions)

What Can Affect the Final Price of a Panel Replacement
Our panel replacement pricing is starting at and may increase depending on the home and job conditions, including:
Permits, Inspections & Utility Coordination
Permit and inspection requirements (city / state / county)
Scheduling and coordination with the electrical utility for disconnect/reconnect
Required inspection corrections or utility requirements
Number of Circuits & Panel Complexity
Total number of circuits to remove and reinstall
High circuit count panels (example: 30+ circuits)
Multiple panels, subpanels, or split-bus / multi-main setups
Panel labeling needs (unknown or unmarked circuits)
Access & Work Area Conditions
Tight working space or code clearance issues (panel location does not meet working space requirements)
Finished basements, crawlspaces, closets, or difficult access areas
Obstructions near the panel (shelves, plumbing, ductwork, etc.)
Additional time for setup, protection, and cleanup in finished spaces
Existing Wiring Condition
Brittle, damaged, or overheated conductors
Older cloth wiring, aluminum branch wiring, or mixed wiring types
Short conductors that require extensions/splices to reach the new panel
Previous non-code work that must be corrected for safety
Grounding & Bonding Updates
Missing or undersized grounding electrode conductor (GEC)
Ground rod installation or replacement
Bonding of metal water piping (if present and required)
Bonding of gas piping (when required)
Loose, missing, or incorrect grounding/bonding in the existing panel

Pricing
There are many variables that go into the cost of electrical work in your home or business. Some include:
- Is it an overhead or underground service?
- Do the panels or meter need to be moved?
- Are additional electrical loads being added?
- Is the building stone or wood?
- What company provides the power service?
