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.
| Adding | Usually needs | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Hot tub or spa | 240V, often 40 to 60 amps | Needs a disconnect and GFCI protection |
| Heat pump | 240V dedicated circuit | Size varies by unit, so we plan with your installer |
| Electric range | 240V, 40 to 50 amps | Switching from gas usually means a new run |
| Dryer | 240V, 30 amps | Older homes may have a 3-prong outlet to update |
| Microwave or fridge | 120V dedicated, 15 to 20 amps | Stops the kitchen breaker from tripping |
| Shop or garage | Often a subpanel | Gives you room for tools and future circuits |
| EV charger | 240V, often 40 to 60 amps | Starts with a load calculation |
Lighting
Good light changes a room.
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.
