When to Update Your Electrical Panel
If your lights flicker, breakers trip often, or you’re adding power-hungry appliances, it may be time for an electrical service upgrade. Older fuse boxes and undersized panels struggle with today’s loads. Our experts can update electrical box components, evaluate capacity, and recommend the right panel upgrade to support EV chargers, HVAC equipment, home offices, and renovated kitchens—without nuisance trips or overheating.
Repair Electrical Panel vs. Replace Electrical Panel
Not every issue calls for a full electrical panel replacement. We’ll start with a thorough inspection to determine whether electrical panel repair (tightening terminations, replacing breakers, correcting double-taps, or addressing corrosion) will restore reliability. When equipment is obsolete, damaged, or unsafe, we’ll explain your options to replace electrical panel equipment entirely. Either way, you get clear pricing and honest guidance—no upsells.
Our Code-Compliant Upgrade Process
From permitting and utility coordination to final labeling, we make replacement of electrical panel systems straightforward. Our licensed team sizes the new panel correctly, installs new breakers and grounding/bonding as required, and brings your home up to the latest NEC standards. Whether you need to change electrical panel amperage or a comprehensive electrical upgrade with new circuits, we deliver neat workmanship that stands the test of time.
