Good fit for
Common homeowner situations
This is for homeowners who want practical clarity before committing to a scope or a contractor.
- Renovations and remodels where electrical scope is uncertain.
- EV charging installs (and questions about panel capacity).
- Service upgrades, subpanels, or adding major loads.
- Older homes with mixed wiring changes over time.
- Recurring issues: nuisance trips, dimming, or inconsistent circuits.
Topics
What’s typically covered
Topics are adjusted to match your home, your goals, and the level of detail you want.
Panels and capacity
What “room in the panel” actually means, and how capacity decisions are usually evaluated.
Common scope drivers
What increases complexity: routing, access, equipment condition, distance, and finish requirements.
Planning and sequencing
What to decide early, what can be staged, and how to avoid locking in the wrong approach.
Working with contractors
How to ask for quotes that are easier to compare, with fewer assumptions and fewer surprises later.
Format
How it works
Sessions are structured so you get clarity, not a long lecture.
- Intake: goals, constraints, and the current state of the home.
- Explanation: concepts and options in plain language.
- Priorities: what matters now vs. later, and what to ask next.
- Wrap-up: a short summary and recommended next steps.
