Electrical Services
Everything electrical in a home eventually runs through this page: the panel that sets your capacity, the wiring behind the walls, the outlets and lighting you touch daily, and the safety devices that watch it all. Our licensed electricians handle each of these trades daily, with fixed written quotes, permits on every job, and a workmanship guarantee of up to 10 years.
Two things distinguish how we work. First, diagnosis before prescription: a load calculation before any panel recommendation, a real fault trace before any repair, so you never buy more than the problem requires. Second, code without shortcuts: permits, inspections, and current-code protection (AFCI, GFCI, surge) are part of every quote, not extras, because they're what makes the work durable and your home insurable.

Panels & power
Electrical Panel Upgrade
An electrical panel upgrade to 200 amps typically costs $1,500–$4,000. It's often required before adding an EV charger, Powerwall, or major appliances. Charge Home Solutions uses licensed electricians and handles permits and inspection.
Learn more →200 Amp Service Upgrade
