If we add a mini split, we will also need to upgrade our electric panel, as it is currently full.

If I wanted to go that way I would really need to travel to where they are being used and spend a week watching how it all goes talk to all the other subs etc etc.. frankly I like some of the panel construction companies on the east coast we dont really have them on the West coast. 

Also, if an older home make sure upgrade the electrical panel too.

Sounds horrible and always so frustrating when you just needed a service to be performed.I had the issue with the electrical inspection for the new pool panel in AZ.

$5200 for a whole new electrical panel, outside meter, new supply line to the pole isn't out of line at all with the inclusion of the potential can of worms they could open up with the galvanized water line repair. 

The seller and I could not come to terms over an issue that arose in my inspection regarding upgrading one electrical panel.

You spoke on a panel about home building, and I asked you a question from the crowd.

In case you're looking for input on shower surrounds, I can't say enough good things about the Mansfield NexTile 60x30x74 Alcove Panel Shower Surround - I ordered mine from Lowes and got it for under $600 with shipping. 

It turns out that the meter panel outside that holds the meters had a burnt out lug.

The units have had all electrical panels and water lines upgraded with permits and new kitchen cabinets installed in all units.All of these deals were on Redfin.I would argue that there is money to be made in every market.
