Most houses built before 1970 were wired for a radio and a toaster. We size the service for heat pumps, induction and two EVs, then wire it to code, once.

05 — How we wire

Five steps
to switched on.

  1. 01

    Load calculation

    We list every appliance, heater and charger, then size the service to match.

  2. 02

    Permit & utility

    We file the permit and book the utility disconnect so you do not have to.

  3. 03

    Rough-in

    New home runs, boxes and grounding pulled through walls with minimal patching.

  4. 04

    Panel swap

    Old fuses out, new panel, AFCI/GFCI breakers, bonding and surge protection in.

  5. 05

    Inspect & label

    City inspection, power restored, and a typed circuit directory on the door.

07 — Start here

Let's switch on.
