Adding something new?

What it usually takes.

A rough guide. The nameplate on your equipment and what's in your panel decide the final answer.

Lighting

Good light changes a room.

Inside

Recessed and LED upgrades, pendants, chandeliers, ceiling fans, dimmers and under-cabinet lighting.

Outside

Landscape, porch and security lighting that makes your home easier to come back to at night.

Smart controls

Smart switches, timers and motion sensors, set up so the whole family can actually use them.

Signs you need one

Running out of outlets is the polite warning.

  • Extension cords and power strips have become permanent
  • The microwave and toaster can't run at the same time
  • Lights dim when something big turns on
  • You're planning a remodel, shop or addition
  • You're buying something that needs its own circuit

Good questions

New circuit questions.

Tell us what you're adding, and we can usually scope it on a video call.

Can my panel take another circuit?

Usually, but not always. We check open space and overall load. If the panel can't take it, a subpanel or upgrade may be the answer.

Will you have to open my walls?

We fish wire through walls and attics where we can. If we need to cut an opening, we'll tell you first.

Do new circuits need a permit?

Often, yes. We pull it when the job needs one and coordinate the inspection.

What affects the price?

Mostly the distance from the panel, how easy the route is, and what the circuit serves. You get a clear price before any work starts.

Is this the right page if something stopped working?

If something broke, start with a diagnostic visit instead. Estimates here are for new work.
