Taking delivery of an EV next month and need a level 2 charger installed. House is from 1978 so I suspect the panel needs work too. Who do you use?

One electrical company per county
Panel upgrades, EV chargers and generator installs start as a question in a neighborhood group. We answer with your name.
Four average electrical jobs a month pay for exclusive coverage in your county.
Selective intake
We cannot take every company that applies.
Exclusivity
One company per trade per county. Signing a second roofer in the same county would put two of our clients in the same thread.
Capacity
Coverage runs on our own aged Facebook accounts, one county at a time. That capacity does not scale by turning a dial.
Fit
We only take companies that can call a homeowner back within the hour. If you cannot, this channel works against you, and we will decline.
Most large metros in Florida, Texas, Arizona and Southern California are already committed. In those markets you are applying for the next opening, and we do not put a date on that.
Applying is not a purchase and it does not reserve anything. We decline most applications, usually because the trade in that county is already committed or the company cannot get back to a homeowner fast enough for this to work.
Committed markets include Florida, Texas, Arizona, Southern California. One company per trade per county, for as long as they remain a client.
Why electricians in particular
Electrical is the quietest high-margin trade in local Facebook groups. Volume is lower than plumbing or HVAC, but the intent is unusually clean, and the mix has shifted hard toward larger projects over the last few years. Panel upgrades, EV charger installs, whole-home generators and solar-adjacent work now make up a much bigger share of what homeowners post about than the old light-fixture questions.
It is also the trade where licensing anxiety works in your favour. Homeowners are genuinely nervous about hiring an unlicensed electrician, more so than for any other trade, so they ask people they trust rather than clicking the first search result. A neighbor vouching for you in a group thread answers the exact question holding them back.
What homeowners actually write
They do not all convert the same way, and they do not all need the same reply. Knowing which is which is most of the job.
01
The EV charger
A new vehicle is arriving on a known date, so there is a deadline and a decision. Usually pairs with a panel capacity question, which turns a small install into a larger job.
02
The panel upgrade
Often triggered by an insurance requirement, a home sale, or a failed inspection on old fuse or Federal Pacific equipment. Non-negotiable work with a real timeline.
03
The generator
Spikes for weeks after any regional outage. High ticket, and the homeowner is comparing two or three installers on responsiveness as much as price.
04
The licensing question
Wording like "someone licensed and local, not a handyman". These homeowners have been burned or nearly burned, and they buy on trust rather than the lowest bid.
The threads themselves
Each of these is a pattern we see repeatedly in electrical threads. Company names are invented.

Insurance is telling me my Federal Pacific panel has to be replaced before they renew. Need someone licensed and local, not a handyman.

After last week I am done with outages. Looking at a whole home generator. Anyone been through this recently?

Timing
Electrical threads move slower than plumbing, which sounds like it makes speed less important. It does the opposite: because the homeowner is taking a few days to decide, the comment that appears first gets read by everyone who joins the thread afterwards, and it accumulates agreement replies. Being first is not just about the original poster, it is about owning the top of a thread that thirty other neighbors will scroll past.
Seasonality
Storm and outage events drive generator demand for six to eight weeks afterwards, and the effect is regional rather than seasonal. EV charger requests cluster around new model deliveries and tax credit deadlines. Panel upgrades follow the home sale cycle, which means spring and early summer. We adjust which post patterns we prioritise in your county as those cycles move.
The arithmetic
Every assumption is visible and adjustable. If it does not clear the bar, we would rather you knew now.
Choose a county to see the arithmetic.
Before you enquire
You need to be licensed, and you need to be comfortable saying so publicly. Much of the advantage in this trade comes from being the visibly credentialed answer to a homeowner who is worried about exactly that.
We would rather turn you down than take a fee for coverage you cannot convert. If the fit is wrong today, tell us what your constraints are and we will say honestly whether it is worth revisiting in six months.
Our guarantee: 20 qualified conversations in your first 90 days, or we keep working at no charge until you get them.
Electrical questions
Electrical runs lower in volume than plumbing but higher in average intent. A metro county of about 1.5 million people produces roughly 95 to 145 requests a month. Panel upgrades, EV chargers and generators make up a growing share of that, which lifts the average ticket considerably.
Less than it used to be. The bulk of what gets posted now is panel capacity, EV charging, generators and code compliance work driven by insurance or a home sale. Small fixture and outlet jobs still appear, and many of our clients use them to open a relationship.
We say you are licensed, because you are, and we can name the licence class if you want us to. That single detail resolves the concern most of these homeowners are posting about in the first place, and it is why these threads convert well.
Consistently. A significant regional outage produces elevated generator posting for six to eight weeks afterwards, often several times the baseline. We flag the pattern when we see it starting so you can make sure you have units and installation capacity available.
