Electrical Upgrades Common Questions Answered

Here are answers to some of the typical questions we receive about our upgrade services:

How much do electrical upgrades typically cost in Palos Hills?

The total investment according to the scope of work. A simple service upgrade might run between $1,200 and $3,500, while complete rewiring can range from $8,000 to $20,000 or more. EV charger installation, surge protection, and circuit additions each carry their own pricing. Our team offers clear pricing proposals at no obligation so there are no hidden costs.

How many days will the project take?

Project duration varies by the complexity and scope. A panel replacement can be completed in one day. Whole-home rewiring projects may take three to seven days for larger properties. Clients receive a completion window during the quoting phase.

Can electrical upgrades happen while I'm away?

Depending on the scope, an adult should be available to grant access and answer questions. When work spans multiple days, arrangements can be made to fit your routine. Our electricians go over on-site logistics during the planning phase.

Panel upgrade vs. rewiring — which do I need?

Service panel replacement means swapping out the main electrical panel — wall wiring is unchanged. Whole-home rewiring removes and reinstalls the wiring running through walls, ceilings, and floors. Properties with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring need both. A licensed inspection clarifies which services your property needs.

Do upgrades affect home sale inspections?

Real estate inspection professionals flag electrical deficiencies in their documentation. While inspectors don't enforce repairs, real estate buyers often demand repairs or upgrades before closing. Having your system updated before listing your property speeds up the process and protects your sale.
