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 Hickory 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.”
“Office build-out with dozens of workstations and a server room. Finished on schedule and the inspector had zero notes.”
“Smart switches throughout the house, even in rooms without neutral wires. Everything works flawlessly with Alexa.”
Layered protection is best: a whole house unit at the panel plus quality point-of-use protectors for computers and TVs.
Surge protectors wear with each event. Most have an indicator light; we check them during inspections.
No device can guarantee protection from a direct strike, but panel-mounted surge protection dramatically reduces damage from nearby strikes and utility surges — the most common cause of damage in Hickory, NC.
