Electricians: common questions
Do I need a licensed electrician?
For anything beyond replacing a like-for-like switch or fixture, yes. New circuits, panel work and EV chargers usually need a permit, and most states require a licensed electrician to pull it.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
The work itself usually takes one day, with power off for several hours. Scheduling the permit, inspection and utility disconnect can add a week or two.
