01 / DEFINE THE SCOPE
A clear plan before the work begins.
A new appliance, an addition, or a change in how you use a room can affect more than a single circuit. Start with the full picture: existing equipment, planned improvements, access, and the finish you expect.
New homes & renovations
Bring the latest plans and room-by-room priorities. Coordinate equipment locations, electrical routes, and trade handoffs before finishes close in the work.
Lighting & everyday power
Discuss fixture selections, switches, receptacles, dedicated circuits, and equipment connections. Establish who supplies each item and who handles final installation.
Service & panel planning
Review existing capacity and the demands of proposed equipment. A larger breaker alone does not establish that the wiring or service can support a new load. Review our panel and service-upgrade planning guide.
Backup-power priorities
Identify the equipment you want operating during an outage and for how long. Essential-load and whole-home goals need different scope discussions. Explore backup-power project requirements.
02 / PROTECT THE EXPERIENCE
The details belong in the proposal.
Turn your priorities into a scope that can be priced and scheduled. Separate the work you need now from optional improvements, and identify decisions that still depend on a site review, equipment selection, or the responsible utility or design team.
What the price includes
List each affected room, area, and equipment connection. Ask the proposal to distinguish the base scope, optional work, allowances, and exclusions. Identify assumptions about existing wiring, available capacity, and concealed conditions, along with the review needed before those assumptions become an agreed scope.
Who supplies each item
For fixtures, appliances, controls, and other selected equipment, record the model or specification, quantity, supplier, and expected delivery. Identify who is responsible for compatibility review, installation, final connections, and any programming or setup. Keep owner purchases separate from items included in the contractor's price.
Access, interruptions & finishes
State whether the home will be occupied and identify work hours, access restrictions, and areas that must remain usable. Discuss planned power interruptions before scheduling. Assign protection, cleanup, access openings, patching, and painting explicitly so electrical work and finish restoration are accounted for together.
Changes and handover
Name the person who approves selections and changes. Ask how unexpected conditions will be documented and priced before additional work is authorized. Agree on the required checks, circuit identification, equipment information, owner orientation, warranty terms, and unfinished-item list that apply to the accepted scope.
Start your inquiry with the project city, property type, affected areas, planned equipment, timing, and a project contact. Mark each item as required now, optional, or undecided. Use the residential project inquiry form to begin, then confirm the appropriate way to share drawings or photographs. Keep electrical covers and compartments closed.
03 / MAKE INFORMED CHOICES
Questions worth asking.
Will solar panels keep my home powered during an outage?
Not automatically. Many grid-connected systems shut down when utility power fails. Backup operation depends on compatible equipment and the system configuration. Review outage capability specifically rather than assuming it comes with solar.
How should I compare battery systems?
Compare both power output in kilowatts (kW) and usable stored energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Output affects the demand the system can supply at one time; stored energy, actual loads, and losses affect runtime. Starting demand and equipment compatibility also need project-specific review.
What should I send for an initial discussion?
Send the project city, property type, intended improvements, target timing, available plans, and major equipment models. Photographs of accessible areas can help. Leave electrical covers and compartments closed.
Can I stay in the home during the work?
That depends on the scope and planned interruptions. Discuss occupancy, access, protected areas, and temporary arrangements before scheduling. The proposal should identify any assumptions that affect your daily routine.
