Every project is different, but the main cost factors are the scope of work, materials and fixtures selected, the distance wire must run from the panel, accessibility (attic, crawlspace or finished walls) and whether a permit and inspection are required. We provide a firm written quote before work begins, so Castalia customers never see surprise charges.
“Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, including a vaulted ceiling. Perfect mounting, no wobble, and they cleaned up every speck of drywall dust.”

“Called at 9 PM when an outlet started sparking. Someone was at the house within the hour and had it safely fixed. Could not ask for better service.”

It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Castalia homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
Most standby generator electrical installations in Castalia are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
A portable generator with a properly installed transfer switch and inlet is a safe, lower-cost option. Never backfeed a generator through a dryer outlet — it is dangerous to you and to utility workers.
