Electrical Services
Panel upgrades, wiring, outlet installation, EV chargers, and safety inspections by licensed electricians.
Electrical Work Is Not a DIY Project
Faulty wiring is one of the leading causes of house fires in the US. Outdated panels, aluminum wiring, and overloaded circuits are silent hazards that only a licensed electrician can properly assess and fix.
Casa Upkeep connects you with licensed, bonded electricians who pull permits, follow code, and leave your home safer than they found it.

Simple outlet work is affordable; whole-home rewiring is a major project. Always get a permit — it protects your home's resale value.
What Affects the Price
Scope of work
Single outlet vs. panel upgrade vs. full rewire are vastly different projects
Home age & wiring type
Homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring require more extensive work
Permit requirements
Most electrical work requires permits — factor in $50–$300 for permit fees
Accessibility
Finished walls and ceilings increase labor cost for new wiring runs
Local code requirements
Some municipalities require arc-fault (AFCI) or GFCI protection in more areas
Signs You Need an Electrician
- Breakers tripping frequently or fuses blowing
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Outlets that are warm to the touch or discolored
- Burning smell near outlets, switches, or the panel
- Two-prong outlets throughout an older home
- Panel has Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers (known fire hazards)
How to Save on Electrical Work
- Bundle multiple jobs in one visit — electricians charge a service call fee regardless of how many tasks they complete.
- Ask about federal tax credits for EV charger installation — up to 30% credit available through 2032.
- Get at least 3 quotes — electrical pricing varies widely between contractors.
- Avoid unlicensed electricians — unpermitted work can void your homeowner's insurance and hurt resale value.
- Smart switches and dimmers can be DIY-installed if you're comfortable with basic wiring — but panel work never is.
