Panel Capacity & Load Calculation
Before anything is connected, we do a load calculation on your panel and service, factoring in the heat pump, any backup heat, and other major loads like ranges, dryers, hot tubs and EV chargers.
Panel & Service Upgrades for Heat Pumps
If the load calculation shows your panel or service is at its limit, we'll explain your options: a panel replacement, a service upgrade coordinated with the utility, or load management to avoid a larger upgrade. We plan it around your installer's schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install the heat pump itself?
No. We handle the electrical connection and work alongside your HVAC installer, who supplies and sets the unit.
​Will my panel need an upgrade for a heat pump?
Not always. A load calculation tells us for certain, and we do one before connecting any heat pump.​
Do I need an electrical permit for a heat pump?
Yes. We take out the electrical permit, close it, and give you a copy.

It's booked as our $600 service call (up to 3 hours, then $150/hour plus parts). Panel or service upgrades are quoted after an assessment.
