Find the Electrical Fault Before Deciding What to Replace
A dead outlet, tripping breaker or flickering light does not always identify the actual source of the electrical problem.
Tripping Breakers
Repeated breaker trips can involve circuit loading, connected equipment, wiring faults, breaker conditions or another problem that requires troubleshooting.
Dead Outlets & Circuits
A device that loses power can be affected by a connection, protective device, breaker or fault elsewhere on the circuit.
Intermittent Problems
Electrical issues that appear and disappear may require systematic testing to isolate the condition and determine the appropriate repair.
Exterior Electrical Equipment Near the Coast
Outdoor electrical equipment is exposed to weather, moisture and coastal conditions that can contribute to corrosion and deterioration over time.
When covers, boxes, fittings, receptacles, fixtures or other electrical equipment show visible deterioration, the actual condition should be evaluated before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
Electrical Inspection Services →Conditions Worth Evaluating
- Visible panel or equipment corrosion
- Damaged exterior receptacle covers
- Deteriorated outdoor electrical boxes
- Exterior lighting failures
- Signs of overheating
- Repeated GFCI or breaker trips
Panel Work and Whole-Home Surge Protection
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Panel replacement or upgrade may be appropriate when existing equipment is damaged, significantly deteriorated, unsuitable for planned electrical work or lacks appropriate capacity for new loads.
The required scope depends on the electrical service, existing equipment and calculated demand.
Electrical Panel Upgrades →Whole-Home Surge Protection
A compatible surge protective device installed at the electrical panel adds another layer of protection for connected electrical and electronic equipment.
Compatible whole-home surge protection options start at $350.
Whole-Home Surge Protection →Interior and Exterior Lighting Electrical Work

Dedicated Circuits and EV Charging

Dedicated 120V or 240V circuits can be installed for equipment that requires an appropriately sized individual branch circuit.
Applications can include appliances, hot tubs, pool equipment, workshop equipment and other electrical loads.
Dedicated Circuit Installation →EV Charger Installation
Residential EV charging requires evaluation of electrical capacity, available breaker space, charger requirements and the proposed wiring route.
Qualifying EV charger installations start at $695.
EV Charger Installation →Portable Generator Interlocks and Power Inlets
Compatible generator interlock and inlet installations provide a structured method of connecting a portable generator through the electrical panel while preventing simultaneous connection of the generator and normal utility source.
Compatibility depends on the existing panel, generator requirements and installation conditions.
Generator Hookups & Interlocks →Generator Starting Prices
30A — From $895
50A — From $1,095
Permit administration, government fees, generator cords, panel corrections, unusual routing and project-specific work may be additional.
