Smaller jobs like adding circuits or installing a Level 2 EV charger are usually a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while a 200-amp panel upgrade or full rewire runs higher and requires a permit. Confirm permitting is included in the bid.

Yes. Panel upgrades and most major electrical work require a permit and inspection sign-off. A licensed electrician will pull the permit for you — confirm it's included in the bid before work starts.
We score active CSLB licensing, verified review volume and rating, years of local experience, and specialty certifications such as EVITP for EV-charger work. Rankings are editorial and cannot be bought.
