2. How can I tell if I have 100 or 200 amp service?
Check the main breaker on your electrical panel — if labeled “200”, you have a 200 amp service. Otherwise, we can confirm during an inspection.

Costs vary depending on underground vs. overhead systems, but prices typically range from $1,500 to $3,000+. Contact us for a free estimate based on your home’s needs.

The hourly rate for a licensed home electrician near you ranges from $80 to $150, depending on the service. We offer transparent pricing before starting any work.

Have Questions About Our Commercial Services?
What is commercial electrical work?
Commercial electrical work refers to the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical systems in commercial properties such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, and warehouses. It typically involves higher voltage systems and more complex layouts than residential work.
What is a typical commercial electrical service?
Typical commercial electrical services include new construction wiring, subpanel installation, LED lighting upgrades, power infrastructure design, outlet installations, and routine electrical maintenance tailored for business facilities.
What is the difference between commercial and residential wiring?
The main difference lies in the electrical load capacity and installation standards. Commercial wiring uses larger conduit systems, three-phase power, and must comply with strict building codes to support higher energy demands. Residential wiring is generally simpler and uses single-phase power.
What type of wire is used in commercial wiring?
Commercial buildings commonly use THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated) wiring, which is durable and suitable for conduit systems. For higher-capacity needs, MC cable (Metal-Clad Cable) or armored cable may also be used.
Does all commercial wiring have to be in conduit?
In most cases, yes. Commercial electrical codes require that wiring be run through metal or plastic conduit for protection, especially in exposed or high-traffic areas. This ensures safety, durability, and code compliance.
What is the difference between commercial and industrial electrical?
Commercial electrical systems serve retail, office, and service-based businesses. Industrial electrical setups are designed for factories, plants, or warehouses with heavy machinery, and typically involve more robust systems, higher voltages, and specialized controls.
Have Questions About Security Cameras?
How do security cameras protect you?
Security cameras protect you by deterring crime, monitoring activity, and providing video evidence in case of theft, break-ins, or disputes.
What is CCTV vs security cameras?
CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) systems use wired setups with central recording, while modern security cameras can be wired or wireless with cloud storage and app access.
Do security cameras keep us safer?
Yes. Studies show properties with surveillance are less likely to be targeted by criminals, and owners feel more secure with real-time monitoring.
Are security cameras a good idea?
Absolutely. They offer safety, convenience, and peace of mind for both homeowners and business owners. Plus, installation has become more affordable and accessible.
How high should you place a security camera?
Cameras should be mounted 8 to 10 feet high, angled downward to cover entry points and high-traffic areas without obstruction.
Have Questions About Network Cabling?
What is network cable installation?
Network cable installation involves running and organizing cables (Cat5e, Cat6, fiber optic, etc.) that connect computers, servers, and other devices to a network, ensuring stable data communication.
What are the 4 types of network cables?
The four most common types are:
Coaxial Cable
Twisted Pair Cable (e.g., Cat5, Cat6)
Fiber Optic Cable
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
For more technical details, visit this network cable guide by Cisco.
How much does it cost to install a network cable?
The cost varies depending on the cable type, number of drops, building size, and labor required. On average, commercial network cable installations range from $100 to $300 per drop. We offer free estimates!
