New circuits
Room for a heat pump, EV charger or ADU
One new 240-volt circuit, or a subpanel, depending on what your panel can carry.
The load check comes first. It tells us whether the panel has room for one more big circuit, needs a subpanel, or needs a bigger service. You get that answer in writing before we price any of it.
Which one
Three answers the load check can give
The panel has room
One dedicated circuit runs from a spare breaker space to the charger or heat pump.

A subpanel adds breaker spaces, fed from the main panel.
See what it includesThe service is the limit
A bigger service comes first, then the new circuits.

New circuits, answered
Do I need a bigger panel for an EV charger or heat pump?
It depends on the load check. Many houses can take one new 240-volt circuit. Two or three big loads together, such as a heat pump, a charger and an induction range, often need a larger service. We run the numbers before we quote and put the result in writing.
Do I need a permit, and who pulls it?
Panel and service work needs a permit from your city or town and an inspection before the power goes back on. We apply for it, and its fee is a separate line on your quote. Rules differ from one city to the next, so we tell you what yours asks for.
What does the visit cost, and is it credited?
The load check and quote visit has a set fee, quoted when you book. Book the work within 30 days and the fee comes off the job. If you don't, it covers the time we spent measuring your house and writing the quote.
