What it costs

Honest pricing guidance

Scope is everything — a single outlet is a world away from a panel upgrade. Permit requirements, panel capacity, materials (copper prices move), and access all factor in. As rough guidance: a service call $100–$200, outlet, switch, or fixture work $150–$400, an EV charger install $500–$2,000, and a panel upgrade $2,000–$4,500. Island travel can add to it.

These are ballpark figures to help you plan — not a guaranteed quote. You'll get a firm number, free, before any work begins.

Sometimes. Older or smaller panels may not have the capacity for a new high-draw circuit. We assess your panel and tell you before any work starts.

Usually an overloaded circuit, a short, or a failing breaker. It's worth diagnosing rather than ignoring, since repeated tripping can signal a real hazard.
Yes — generator hookups and transfer switches are popular here, where storms can knock out island power.
