What affects the price
When you call for electrical help, a few things influence the final bill. The biggest factor is the scope of the project—swapping out a basic outlet is a quick task, while rewiring a room or upgrading an old panel requires much more labor and time. The age of your home also plays a role, as older wiring often needs extra care to meet current safety standards. Parts and material quality also change the total cost.

About this service
The unit of electrical current is the ampere, or 'amp.' It measures the rate at which electricity flows through your wires. If your home’s demand exceeds the amp capacity of your panel, you will experience frequent power outages. You might need a service upgrade if you are adding new heavy-duty appliances that require more amps than your current system can safely provide. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
