⚡ Virtual Project Planning via Zoom

Plan smarter. Avoid surprises. Get your project started right.

 

At Elect Electric, we believe that good planning leads to better electrical outcomes—and better service for you. That’s why we offer Virtual Project Planning Visits via Zoom for clients in San Luis Obispo County and Santa Maria, CA—and for out-of-area clients who want to start with expert advice before committing to a site visit.

 

Whether you’re thinking about a panel upgrade, EV charger, lighting layout, or whole home electrification, this free call helps you understand what’s involved, what it might cost, and what your next steps should be.

 

This is not a troubleshooting session—we won’t be diagnosing issues or walking you through electrical fixes. Instead, we’ll help you plan with clarity so you can move forward with confidence.

 

 

 

🔍 What Is a Virtual Project Planning Visit?

 

 

A Virtual Project Planning Visit is a free, one-on-one Zoom consultation with a licensed electrician. You’ll walk us through your project idea, and we’ll give you insight into:

 

• What’s likely involved (circuits, space, panel capacity, etc.)

• Rough cost ranges (based on past projects and scope)

• Permit needs or upgrade considerations

• Whether a site visit is your best next step—or not yet needed

 

 

This is your chance to ask the big-picture questions and avoid wasted time or false starts.

 

 

 

📝 How to Prepare

 

 

We’ve created two intake forms to help you prepare for your call:

 

• ✅ Short Form – Perfect for smaller jobs like light fixture installs, outlet additions, or fan replacements.

• ✅ Long Form – Best for larger or more complex projects like panel upgrades, EV charger planning, or smart home integration.

 

 

You choose which one to use.

The more information you’re comfortable providing, the more helpful we can be during your call—but we’ll never pressure you to overshare.

 

👉 Both forms are located just below this section.

📍 Who Is This For?

 

 

• Local Clients (SLO & Santa Maria areas): This call helps determine whether an in-person visit is needed—and what to expect from that visit.

• Out-of-Area Clients: We also offer paid virtual service calls for out-of-area clients who want help planning a project outside our service area. This is especially helpful for second homes, remote properties, or pre-construction consultations.

 

 

 

 

💡 Why Elect’s Planning Call Works

 

 

• We respect your time. You shouldn’t have to book a site visit just to find out your idea needs a panel upgrade—or that it’s a quick fix.

• We provide clarity. You’ll leave the call with a realistic sense of what it takes to complete your project.

• We don’t pressure. This is a planning call—not a sales call.

• We give local insight. We’re familiar with local code requirements, rebates, and utility programs for PG&E, 3CE, and others.

⚠️ Important Notes

 

 

• This is not a repair or troubleshooting session. If you need live help diagnosing an electrical issue, please book a Virtual Service Call instead.

• We don’t provide quotes over Zoom—but we do give valuable context that helps you decide if a site visit is worthwhile.

• If you’re in our local service area and decide to move forward, we’ll help you schedule the right next step.
