Replacing a standard outlet takes 10 to 20 minutes. Installing a ceiling fan on an existing box takes about 1 hour. A new dedicated circuit for an EV charger usually takes 3 to 5 hours. A full panel replacement typically needs 8 to 10 hours plus a same-day inspection by the local authority.
Ask if they are licensed and insured in your area, who pulls the permit and whether the quote is fixed or hourly. Request a written estimate with materials, labor and warranty. Ask about the start date, expected duration and how change orders are handled if the scope grows after opening the wall.
A 100 amp panel is undersized for most modern homes with central air, electric dryers and EV chargers. Upgrading to 200 amps costs between 2,000 and 5,000 dollars and takes 8 to 10 hours. If you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replacement is strongly recommended due to known fire risks.
Keep children and pets away from the work area and the open panel. Do not touch exposed wires, even if you think the breaker is off. The electrician should lock out the breaker they are working on. Clear access to the panel and the work zone saves time and reduces the chance of accidental contact.
The electrician arrives, walks the home with you, and asks what tripped, flickered, or failed. They test outlets with a plug-in tester, open the panel to check breaker amperage, and look at grounding and bonding. Most first visits last 30 to 60 minutes and end with a written quote listing parts, labor, and any code issues found.
Rewiring one room typically takes 2 to 4 days. Drywall is cut in strips, old cable is pulled out, and new 12-2 Romex is run to the panel. Expect dust, some wall patching, and a follow-up painter. The electrician should leave a circuit map showing which breaker controls each outlet and switch.
If lights dim when the microwave starts, or breakers trip when two appliances run, the 100-amp panel may be undersized. Modern homes often need 200 amps to handle HVAC, induction ranges, and EV charging. Upgrading includes a new meter base, new breakers, and a city inspection, usually taking 1 to 2 full days.
Plug-in strips protect one device. A Type 2 surge protector mounted at the panel shields the whole house from utility spikes and lightning-induced surges. Installation takes about 1 hour and should include a dedicated 2-pole breaker. It is cheap insurance for refrigerators, well pumps, and any electronics with circuit boards.
A breaker that trips the moment you reset it usually signals a short circuit, not overload. The electrician disconnects devices on that circuit, measures resistance with a multimeter, and isolates the fault. If the breaker trips randomly under load, it may simply be worn out after 10 to 15 years and need replacement.
Ask for a full circuit map, the permit number, and the final inspection sign-off. The electrician should test every new outlet with a plug-in tester and every GFCI with its built-in button, then show you the results. Keep the invoice, parts list, and warranty terms in one folder for at least 5 years.
