Core Power & Protection

Guesswork load calculations and messy surface wiring have no place in your home. Every installation is load-calculated, permitted when required, and wired with clean, code-compliant precision.

Electric vehicles place continuous heavy demand on your home's electrical service. Craig performs a proper NEC Article 625 load calculation on your existing panel before installing dedicated 40A to 60A circuits for Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint Home Flex and universal J1772 chargers — ideal for year-round garages and 30A rental properties.

Northwest Florida experiences some of the heaviest lightning activity and utility switching surges in the country. Plug-in power strips cannot stop a major coastal surge from frying expensive AC compressors, smart appliances or tankless water heaters. Craig installs heavy-duty Type 1 and Type 2 Surge Protective Devices right at your main electrical panel.

Corroded coastal meter cans, overcrowded breaker boxes or outdated panels (such as Federal Pacific, Zinsco or Challenger) create fire hazards and homeowner insurance headaches. Whether you need a full 200-amp main service replacement or a 125-amp subpanel relocation for a remodel or workshop, every circuit is cleanly dressed and balanced.
