Design & Process

How a CEC design consultation works, start to finish.

We meet at your home (or virtually), walk the property, listen to your goals, and translate them into a Backup Power & Energy / Outdoor Living Electrical / Smart Home Automation plan with transparent pricing. Most consultations take about 60–90 minutes.

The initial consultation and concept review are complimentary. If you choose to move forward with a detailed engineering / load study, that scope is quoted up front before any work begins.

Most residential projects break ground 2–4 weeks after sign-off and are completed within 1–3 weeks of break-ground, depending on permits, equipment lead times, and scope.

Yes. We pull every permit, schedule inspections, and stand on-site for the inspector when required. You should never have to chase a city office for a CEC project.
