How much does an electrician cost in Canton?
Common 2026 rates: outlet installation $100 to $250, ceiling fan install $100 to $300, panel upgrade (100A to 200A) $1,000 to $3,000, whole-house rewiring $2,000 to $6,000 for older homes. Most Canton electricians have a $100 to $150 service call minimum. EV charger installation runs $500 to $1,800 depending on panel capacity and wire run.
When do I need an electrical panel upgrade in Canton?
Upgrade if your panel is a 60A or 100A service and you've added (or want to add) central AC, EV charging, a hot tub, or major kitchen appliances. Also upgrade if you have a Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco panel — both are fire risks recognized by every electrician and most home inspectors. Modern code calls for 200A service in any home with central AC and electric appliances.
Do Canton electricians handle knob-and-tube wiring?
Yes. A lot of Canton homes built before 1950 still have original knob-and-tube wiring in attics and exterior walls. It's not inherently dangerous if undisturbed, but it has no ground wire and degrades when buried in insulation. Most insurance carriers now require knob-and-tube replacement before issuing a new policy. Full replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on home size.
Can an electrician install an EV charger at my Canton home?
Yes — Level 2 (240V) EV charger installs are routine work for any licensed electrician. The job runs $500 to $1,800 depending on how far the run is from your panel and whether the panel has capacity. Federal tax credits and AEP Ohio incentives can knock $300 to $1,000 off the cost. Check incentives BEFORE you install — some require a specific charger model.
Are Canton electricians licensed?
Ohio licenses electrical contractors at the state level through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board. Individual electricians work under a master contractor's license. Ask for the license number before work starts, and verify on the OCILB website. Local permits are required for any panel work, new circuits, or significant rewiring — your electrician should pull those.
