Electricians - what's your most profitable jobs at the moment?

Right now - my big ticket items aren't jobs I do for builders, its the service replacements and recessed lighting. What's yours?

    Service upgrades LED lighting.  

  • Whole house rewires I’ve done 4 in the past 5 months. It takes my 2 employees 2-3 weeks to complete. I got 3 more on the books in the coming months. To bad some owners are living in them. 

  • Outdoor panel relocation to indoor with CSED addition since my municipality requires an exterior disconnect seperate from the meter. I did one in a neighborhood and then three more home-owners wanted the same thing. Its rinse and repeat at this point. Also commercial LED upgrades from metal halide bulbs.

    My biggest job is a barn with a house inside, but I would much prefer to just do service jobs. I feel like there's less stress doing service, and at the end of the month, it pays pretty well as long as you can stay booked out. My favorite jobs are panel change-outs since I live at the beach, there are a lot of them, and they pay really well.
