EV Charger Installation

Typical install
$850 to $1,800

EV charger installs are the single most-requested job we get, and Jake handles most of them now. We install Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, JuiceBox 40, Grizzl-E, and pretty much any Level 2 hardwired or plug-in unit you bring us.

Most installs are done in a single visit. We pull a load calculation on your existing service, run a dedicated circuit from the panel to wherever you want the charger, mount the unit, terminate everything to code, and energize it. You drive home, plug in, and it works.

What's included

  • Load calculation on your existing panel
  • Dedicated 40A or 60A circuit, copper THHN, in EMT or NM as appropriate
  • Hardwire or NEMA 14-50 outlet, your choice
  • Surge protection at the charger if your panel doesn't have it
  • Permit, inspection coordination, and final sign-off
  • Weatherproof outdoor installs available, no extra hassle

Tesla Powerwall and Generac Backup

System installs from
$11,500

Vermont winters mean outages. We're a Tesla Certified Powerwall installer and a Generac authorized dealer, which means we can quote either side of the battery vs generator question without trying to push you toward whichever one we happen to sell.

For most homes a single Powerwall 3 covers the essentials (fridge, freezer, well pump, furnace, a few outlets and lights) for 12 to 18 hours. For whole-home backup including the well pump, EV charger, and electric range, you're usually in two-Powerwall territory or a 22kW Generac. We do a free in-home assessment before we ever quote a number.

What's included

  • Free in-home assessment with load analysis
  • Tesla Powerwall 3 install with gateway and critical loads panel
  • Generac Guardian 14kW, 18kW, 22kW, 24kW
  • Automatic transfer switch installation
  • Fuel line coordination with your propane company on Generac jobs
  • Permit, utility coordination, inspection, sign-off

Panel Upgrades and Heavy-Ups

200A service upgrade
$2,800 to $4,200

If you're trying to add a heat pump, an EV charger, an induction range, or a hot tub to a house with a 100A panel from 1978, you're going to run out of capacity fast. Most older Burlington homes need the service upgraded to 200A before we can add modern loads, and that's the job we do most often after EV chargers.

A typical heavy-up replaces the meter base, the service entrance conductors, the main breaker panel, and the grounding electrode system, all to current code. We coordinate the power-down with Green Mountain Power, do the work in a single day for most homes, and have the inspector out the next morning.

When you probably need an upgrade

  • Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel (these are recall hazards)
  • Fuse box instead of breakers
  • 100A service and you want to add EV, heat pump, or hot tub
  • Double-tapped breakers or a panel that's visibly full
  • Aluminum service entrance conductors with corrosion at the lugs

Lighting and Smart Switches

Hourly rate
$135/hr ยท 1hr min

Recessed cans, kitchen pendants, under-cabinet, exterior, landscape, dimmers, smart switches, ceiling fans. If you want it lit, we'll wire it up neat and put the switching where it actually makes sense to use it.

For bigger lighting jobs we'll usually walk through with you, talk about what you actually want the room to feel like, and then quote the whole thing as a package. For one-off jobs like swapping out a fixture or adding a fan, we charge our hourly rate with a one-hour minimum.

Common lighting work

  • Recessed can installation (LED, retrofit, new construction)
  • Kitchen island pendants and under-cabinet lighting
  • Ceiling fan installation, including new circuits if needed
  • Exterior coach lights, floods, and motion-activated security lighting
  • Lutron Caseta and Leviton smart switch installation
  • Dimmer compatibility checks for LED retrofits

Whole-Home Rewires

Quoted by project
Starting around $14,000

Knob-and-tube. Aluminum branch circuits. Cloth-wrapped wiring from 1952. Burlington has plenty of houses old enough that the wiring inside the walls is older than most of the people living there, and at a certain point the right move is to replace it instead of patching it.

We do staged rewires, working room-by-room so you don't have to move out while we do it. Most of our rewires take 2 to 4 weeks of intermittent work and we coordinate with your insurance company on any required documentation. Older homes almost always pair a rewire with a panel upgrade, and we quote them together.

Signs you might need a rewire

  • Knob-and-tube visible in the basement or attic
  • Aluminum branch wiring installed between 1965 and 1973
  • Two-prong outlets with no ground anywhere in the house
  • Insurance company asking about your wiring at renewal
  • Frequent breaker trips or warm outlet covers

Service Calls and Repairs

Service call
$135/hr ยท no minimum trip fee

The breaker that won't reset. The outlet that stopped working. The GFCI you can't find. The smoke detector that beeps at 3am. The light switch that doesn't seem to do anything anymore. These are most of the calls we run on a given day.

Honest hourly rate, no minimum, and we'll tell you on the phone if it's something you can handle yourself. Half the time someone calls us about a "dead outlet" it's a tripped GFCI in another room, and we'd rather walk you through that for free than charge you a service call to flip a button.

Common service-call work

  • Tripped breaker diagnosis and circuit testing
  • Dead outlet repair, GFCI replacement, AFCI installation
  • Hardwired smoke and CO detector replacement
  • Bathroom and kitchen GFCI upgrades to current code
  • Knob-and-tube identification and inspection
  • Insurance and home-sale electrical inspections
