What to ask any electrical business
- Are you a licensed electrician, and who pulls the permit and arranges the inspection?
- Will this job need a panel or service upgrade?
- Can you put the devices, circuits and materials in a written scope?
- How do you handle what you find when you open up older wiring?
What changes the price
Panel capacity, the age of the wiring, how far the new circuit runs, and inspection requirements.
