Costs vary based on factors such as the current electrical system, required capacity increase, wiring complexity, and permit fees. A licensed electrical contractor can provide an accurate estimate.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the project, necessary permits, and utility provider coordination, but typically, upgrades take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
In some cases, temporary power solutions may be implemented, but for major upgrades, temporary disruptions may occur. Planning ahead with your contractor can help minimize downtime.
The required service size depends on the type of business, equipment usage, and future expansion plans. Nixon Electric Company Ltd. can conduct a load assessment to determine the appropriate capacity.
