If your home has a panel under 150 amps, is more than 25 years old, uses fuses instead of breakers,or frequently trips breakers — it likely needs an upgrade. Other signs include flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, or if you are planning to add an EV charger or solar system. We offer free consultations to assess your panel and recommend the right solution.

Yes — always. Voltex Electric pulls all required permits for every job including panel upgrades,new circuits, rewiring and EV charger installation. We coordinate all inspections with the local authority having jurisdiction. You never have to worry about unpermitted work or code violations when you hire Voltex Electric.

A complete whole-home rewiring typically takes 3 to 5 days depending on the size of your home and accessibility of existing wiring. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life and restore power to all areas as quickly as possible. We handle all permits and inspections throughout the process.

Absolutely — and it is actually more cost-effective to do both at the same time. We can upgrade your panel to 200 amps and install a dedicated 240V circuit for your Level 2 EV charger in a single visit. This saves you time, reduces labor costs and ensures everything is properly permitted and inspected together.

A master electrician has passed a comprehensive licensing exam, carries additional insurance and is legally authorized to pull permits and supervise all electrical work in Virginia. A journeyman electrician can perform work but must be supervised by a master electrician. At Voltex Electric every project is planned and supervised by a licensed master electrician — not handed off to an apprentice or journeyman working alone.

Electrical costs vary depending on the type and scope of work. A standard panel upgrade typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500. EV charger installation ranges from $600 to $1,000. Lighting installation varies by the number of fixtures. We always provide a clear written estimate with upfront transparent pricing before any work begins — no hidden fees or surprise invoices.
