"C3 came out quickly to give me a free estimate. They had the most reasonable price by a long shot! I got an email shortly after saying that if I’d like to get on the schedule they could make sure to get out to me as soon as possible. I had some issues with the delivery of my hot tub so they were accommodating about switching our install date. They arrived earlier than expected and had everything installed in an exceptional time. The crew (Anthony and didn’t catch the other guys name 😬) were so friendly and awesome! Even asking if they could help me do certain things that needed to be done to get the hot tub filled. 10/10 recommend!"

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs

The timeframe for relocating an electrical panel varies based on project complexity. Simple relocations might be completed in a single day, while more complex projects could require multiple days. Factors affecting completion time include the distance of the move, accessibility of work areas, and whether any upgrades are being made simultaneously. Remember that obtaining permits may add time to your overall project schedule depending on your local building department's processes.

Yes, moving an electrical panel to an exterior wall is possible and falls within the same cost range of $1,500 to $4,000. This approach may provide better accessibility for utility workers and emergency situations. When considering exterior placement, discuss with your electrician how local climate conditions might affect the installation and what protective measures would be appropriate. Some local building codes may have specific requirements for exterior electrical installations.

Installing a new electrical meter box costs between $200 and $500. However, relocating a meter often involves your utility company and your electrician. The utility company needs to disconnect and reconnect service, and it may have its own procedures and timeframes. Contact your electricity provider early in your planning process to understand their specific requirements for meter relocations.

Upgrading your electrical panel during relocation can be cost-effective if your home has increasing power demands. Enhancing capacity from 100 amps to 200 amps adds $1,200 to $2,000 to the project cost. This upgrade makes sense for homes with multiple high-draw appliances, electric vehicle charging, or extensive electronics. Combining the upgrade with relocation is more economical than completing these as separate projects and provides improved capacity for future electrical needs.
