The fastest-growing electrical service categories reflect the electrification trend: EV charger installation (Level 2 home charging is now standard for EV owners), panel upgrades to accommodate new loads, and whole-home battery storage systems. These projects run $1,500-5,000+ and arrive with strong homeowner motivation. Emergency electrical calls (failed panels, circuit issues) provide year-round baseline volume on top of the growing project work.
