Electrical Upgrades FAQ

These are responses to some of the most common questions we receive about our upgrade services:

How much do electrical upgrades typically cost in Palos Hills?

The total investment according to the scope of work. A basic panel upgrade might cost between $1,200 and $3,500, while whole-home rewiring can cost significantly higher depending on home size. Dedicated circuit work, outlet upgrades, and generator hookups each carry their own pricing. Reed Electrical Services, LLC. delivers detailed, upfront estimates prior to starting so there are no surprises.

How long does a typical electrical upgrade take to complete?

Project duration varies by the specific services involved. Service upgrades typically take four to eight hours. Whole-home rewiring projects may take three to seven days for larger properties. Our team provides a projected timeline during the initial assessment.

Do I need to be home during the electrical upgrade work?

Depending on the scope, someone should be available to provide entry and address decisions. In some commercial situations, we can coordinate access to accommodate your availability. We discuss access needs during the initial consultation.

How do I know whether I need a panel upgrade or full rewiring?

Service panel replacement involves swapping out the main electrical panel — existing branch circuits remain. Whole-home rewiring replaces all branch circuit wiring. Many older homes benefit from doing both at once. A licensed inspection clarifies which services your property needs.

Are electrical upgrades required to pass a home inspection?

Home inspectors note outdated panels, ungrounded outlets, and code violations in their reports. While home inspections here aren't mandatory repair orders, real estate buyers often demand electrical improvements as a sale condition. Having your system updated prior to selling speeds up the process and protects your sale.
