Questions
Before you hire
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?+
If your breaker panel trips often, you still have a 100-amp service, or you are adding an EV charger or major appliances, a 200-amp upgrade is usually the next step. We see this often in older homes throughout Columbus and Westerville.
Is my home's wiring old enough to be a safety concern?+
Homes built before the 1970s often have aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or undersized circuits that were never designed for today's electrical load. Signs to watch for include warm outlets, flickering lights, or breakers that trip for no clear reason. A troubleshooting visit can confirm whether rewiring is needed or if the issue is isolated to one circuit.
Do I need a permit for electrical work at my house?+
Most panel upgrades, rewiring projects, and new circuit installations require a permit and inspection in Columbus, Dublin, and the surrounding area. We pull the permits and handle the inspection process as part of the job so the work is documented and meets code. Smaller jobs like swapping a switch or outlet typically do not require one.
Can you install a charger for my electric vehicle?+
Yes, EV charger installation usually involves running a dedicated circuit from your panel and mounting the charging unit at the location you want. Depending on your home's current service size, this may also be a good time to consider a panel upgrade if capacity is tight. We install chargers for homeowners across Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, and Hilliard.
