"I have found my forever electricians (at least while I live in the New Haven area)! From start to finish my experience with Power Forward was an absolute pleasure. Company owner, Ian, was responsive, punctual, and incredibly informative when it came to walking me through the details of the scope of work I was requesting, and was thoroughly transparent and fairly priced when it came to his estimate. Once we accepted the quote, scheduling with Morgan was easy and efficient, and Chris arrived onsite within a day of me accepting the estimate. Chris was a consummate professional, a super clean worker when it came to caring for our house and the cleanliness of his cable paths, and was truly dedicated to doing the job â the right wayâ not just the easy and cheap way. He took his time and planned his cable runs and circuiting carefully to ensure both minimal cutting into our walls and convenient receptacle placement. Once he was finished, he took care to clean every area heâ d worked in and probably left some of the rooms cleaner than when he arrived! I would recommend Ian and Power Forward to anyone who appreciates work that is done with care, safe, and efficient. I think you get what you pay for when it comes to hiring trade professionals, and electricity is not something you want to cut corners with: hire Ian and his team, and have it done right and safe the first time."

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs

Yes, upgrading your electrical panel is a worthwhile investment for most homeowners. A 200-amp upgrade provides capacity for multiple modern appliances and electric vehicle charging stations and reduces the risk of overloaded circuits. This improvement is especially valuable for homes with all-electric heating or cooling systems. While the average investment of $1,600 is significant, it enhances safety, convenience, and potentially your property's market appeal when it's time to sell.

Yes, electrical service upgrades always require permits to ensure compliance with local safety codes. Your licensed electrician can handle the permit application process and coordinate the necessary inspections. Skipping this crucial step could create serious safety hazards, invalidate your homeowner's insurance, and cause complications during future home sales. The permit cost of $50 to $300 represents an essential part of your project budget.

Whether you need to rewire your house depends on your existing electrical infrastructure. Many homes with reasonably modern wiring only need the service entrance cable and panel replaced to achieve a 200-amp service. However, homes with outdated wiring systems may require more extensive updates to safely handle increased capacity. A professional assessment by a licensed electrician will determine your specific requirements based on your home's current condition.

The physical installation requires four to eight hours of professional labor. However, the complete process—including permits, inspections, and potential utility company coordination—may extend over one to two weeks. During installation, expect your home's power to be temporarily disconnected. Complex installations involving significant rewiring or panel relocation may require additional time. Your electrician can provide a more precise timeline based on your specific circumstances.

You may qualify for a 30% federal tax credit (maximum $600) for qualifying electrical panel upgrades. Additionally, some local utility providers offer their own incentive programs for electrical system improvements. Research your state and municipal energy efficiency programs, and consult with your electrician about which panels meet eligibility requirements. For specific tax credit information, consultation with a tax professional is recommended.
