Common questions
Do I need a panel upgrade?
If you have a 100A panel and plan to add an EV charger, heat pump, or major addition, usually yes. Frequent breaker trips are another sign.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Branch aluminum wiring from the 1960s–70s needs approved connectors at every device. Many insurers ask about it.
Things to watch out for
- Handymen doing panel or circuit work without a master electrician's license number on the permit.
- Quotes that exclude the permit and inspection fee.
