Hiring an electrician in Livermore
In California, electrical work of $1,000 or more needs a C-10 Electrical license from the CSLB. EV chargers and panel upgrades usually need a permit. You can look up a contractor's license at cslb.ca.gov.
Questions to ask
- For an EV charger, check your panel's size first; it decides whether you need an upgrade.
- Panel upgrades often need PG&E to schedule a shutoff. Ask who coordinates it.
- Ask if the price includes the permit and inspection.
- Sparks, burning smells or a hot panel: switch off the main breaker if it's safe, then call.
What affects the price
- Panel capacity
- Distance from the panel
- Wall and attic access
- Permits and utility coordination
