Electrical Load Calculations & Audits

At Cove Electric, Inc., we provide professional Electrical Load Calculations & Audits to ensure your electrical system operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with current codes. Whether you are planning a renovation, installing new equipment, or simply want to confirm your system can handle your electrical demands, our expert evaluations help prevent overloads and improve overall performance.

Electrical Load Calculations

Electrical load calculations determine how much power your home or commercial property requires to operate safely and efficiently. This process evaluates:

• Existing electrical usage
• Major appliances and HVAC systems
• Lighting loads
• Dedicated circuits
• Future expansion needs (EV chargers, hot tubs, additions, etc.)
• Panel and service capacity

Using industry standards and National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines, we calculate whether your current panel and service size can safely support your electrical demand. If your system is undersized, we provide clear recommendations for upgrades to prevent:

• Circuit breaker tripping
• Overheated wiring
• Equipment damage
• Fire hazards

Load calculations are especially important for:

• Panel upgrades
• Home additions or remodels
• New appliance installations
• Commercial tenant improvements
• EV charger installations

Electrical Audits

An electrical audit is a comprehensive evaluation of your entire electrical system. Our team inspects:

• Main service panels and subpanels
• Circuit distribution and balance
• Wiring condition and code compliance
• Grounding and bonding systems
• Energy consumption patterns
• Safety risks and inefficiencies

Electrical audits help identify hidden issues such as overloaded circuits, outdated components, improper installations, or energy waste. We provide a detailed report outlining findings, safety concerns, and practical recommendations for improvement.

Preventing Overloads & Improving Safety

Overloaded electrical systems are one of the leading causes of electrical failures and fire risks. Our load calculations and audits help:

• Ensure circuits are properly sized
• Confirm panels are not exceeding capacity
• Improve load balancing across circuits
• Reduce strain on wiring and equipment
• Prevent nuisance breaker trips
• Support compliance with local electrical codes

By proactively evaluating your system, we help protect your property, occupants, and valuable equipment.

Supporting Efficiency & Long-Term Performance

Beyond safety, proper load management enhances efficiency and reliability. Benefits include:

• Optimized electrical distribution
• Reduced energy waste
• Improved equipment lifespan
• Better performance of HVAC and major appliances
• Scalable infrastructure for future growth

Whether you own a home or manage a commercial property, understanding your electrical capacity allows you to make informed decisions about upgrades and energy usage.
