Electrical Work in Burlington

Burlington's housing stock spans Victorian homes in the Hill district, triple-deckers on the South End, and newer construction near UVM. Older homes commonly need panel upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service, knob-and-tube replacement, and additional circuits for modern kitchens and EV chargers. Burlington has an active EV charger incentive program through Green Mountain Power.

What to Expect

Burlington electrical permits are issued through the Department of Planning and Zoning. Inspections are required for all new circuits and panel work. Most Burlington electricians are booked 2 to 4 weeks out for standard projects.
