How much does a 200A panel upgrade cost in Independence?
Most Independence-area residential 200A panel upgrades land in the $2,500–$4,500 range. Meter-base or mast work, longer service runs, and FPE/Zinsco replacements can push higher. Free written estimate after a site visit.
How much does Level 2 EV charger installation cost in Independence?
Most Independence-area hardwired Level 2 installs run $900–$2,200 — longer cable runs, finished-wall fishing, or a panel upgrade add cost.
How much does generator wiring cost in Independence?
Manual transfer switch + inlet box installs for portable generators typically run $900–$1,800. Automatic transfer switches for permanent standby generators are bid by generator size and circuit count.
How much is a service-call diagnostic in Independence?
Diagnostic service calls start at $125–$175 during business hours and include a written repair plan. Repairs are quoted up front before any further work.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. On-site estimates for defined projects are free. Open-ended diagnostics (chasing a dead circuit, troubleshooting a flickering light) are a paid service-call.

Yes — barring a documented change-order signed by you. If we hit something behind a wall we couldn't see, we stop and price the change before continuing.
