Where we start

Before anyone quotes a new panel, it's worth knowing what you have and what you actually want to plug in.

Panel size, age and open breaker space. A photo of the panel label tells us a surprising amount.

EV charger, heat pump, induction cooktop, electric dryer, solar. Each one draws power differently, and the order matters.

Swapping appliances as they wear out is how most people go electric. Planning the order can save you from doing electrical work twice.

How it works with Sanctuary

Three steps, at your pace. You can stop at any point.

01
Tell us about your home
Send us a few details about the house and what's bugging you. Photos help. Nothing gets shared without your OK.
02
Talk through your options
We go over your options with you, including what each one costs you in time and hassle, and whether it makes sense to wait.
03
Meet one vetted partner
When you're ready, and with your permission, we introduce one licensed partner we've checked carefully. They quote, contract and do the work with you directly, and we're still here if questions come up.

The part nobody mentions

Sometimes it is. Here's what we look at before you commit.

Load management devices and lower-amp appliances can sometimes get you there without a full service upgrade.

If the upgrade needs changes at the meter, PG&E has to do that part. Your electrician coordinates it with PG&E, and nobody can speed that step up.

Panel work gets a permit and a city inspection. A C-10 licensed electrician pulls it, not you.

Every house is wired differently. Scope and cost come from an on-site look by a licensed electrician.

Maybe not. A lot depends on the charger and what else is running. It's worth checking before you assume.

Switching things like your furnace, water heater and stove from gas to electric. Most people do it over several years, not all at once.

A C-10 licensed electrical contractor from our partner network. We introduce one, with your permission.

No. And there's no pressure to do anything afterward.
