Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
Yes — most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires a permit and inspection. Licensed electricians pull permits as part of their service. Unpermitted work can void homeowner's insurance and cause issues when selling.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?
Upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp panel typically costs $1,500–$4,000 depending on your location and complexity. Homes with older wiring may require additional updates to meet current code.
How do I verify an electrician's license?
Most states maintain an online license lookup tool through their contractor licensing board. Always verify before hiring — licensed electricians have passed exams, carry insurance, and are accountable to their state board.
