What this service does
Heat pumps, electric water heating, and induction cooking can change a home’s electrical demand. Coordinating the electrical portion with the equipment installer makes the transition clearer and avoids selecting equipment before its power requirements are understood.

Common options and scope
Heat pumps and mini-splits
Provide the electrical circuits, disconnects, service receptacles where required, and connections for HVAC equipment based on manufacturer ratings and the HVAC contractor’s scope.
Water heaters and heat-pump water heaters
Evaluate new or existing circuits, voltage requirements, disconnecting means, and equipment connections. Plumbing, condensate, and ventilation work are separate trade responsibilities.
Electric heating
Scope baseboard heaters, wall heaters, compatible thermostats, radiant-floor heating power, and manufacturer-required controls or protection.
Gas-to-electric transitions
Coordinate induction ranges, dryers, heating systems, and future loads with a service load calculation and a phased electrification plan.
What happens during the work
Electrical installation is distinct from HVAC, plumbing, gas decommissioning, and energy-audit work. Share selected equipment ratings and coordinate the other trades before finalizing the electrical scope.
Helpful to have ready
A short description, your city or ZIP, and photos of the visible area or equipment. Never remove electrical covers or touch exposed wiring for a photo.
Questions
Does electrification always mean upgrading to 200 amps?
No. The total calculated load, equipment choices, and approved load-management options determine what is necessary. An upgrade recommendation should be specific to the home.
