Overview
Electrical (Residential) contractors perform home wiring, panel upgrades, EV-charger installation, and home-generator work. It is a core skilled trade riding electrification demand — EV charging, panel upgrades, and backup power — and is increasingly a target of the home-services roll-up wave.
Demand is supported by aging electrical infrastructure and the electrification of homes, with recurring service and high-ticket upgrade jobs. In federal data, residential electrical sits under construction specialty-trade codes, tracked in Industrials.
