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 Hertford customers never see surprise charges.
“Our breaker panel was over 40 years old and the electrician walked me through every option before we chose a 200 amp upgrade. Clean install, passed inspection the first time.”
“LED retrofit in our warehouse cut the lighting bill nearly in half. The crew worked around our shifts without a single disruption.”
“We needed outdoor lighting for the walkway and patio. The design they suggested looks amazing at night and runs on a timer.”
Installed cost varies with generator size, distance from the panel and fuel source. We provide a complete quote covering the electrical installation, transfer switch and permits. Call (888) 592-6466.
