FAQs About Electrical Panel Upgrades
What's the Difference Between a Panel Upgrade and a Panel Replacement?
A panel upgrade increases your system's capacity (amps), while a replacement usually means swapping an old panel for a new one of the same size due to wear or safety concerns. We'll help you determine what's best for your home or business.
How Long Does It Take to Upgrade an Electrical Panel?
Most upgrades can be completed in a day or two, depending on the complexity. We work to minimize downtime and make sure everything is done cleanly and to code.
Do You Pull Permits & Handle Inspections for Panel Upgrades?
Yes. We can take care of the permitting and schedule all required inspections to make sure your panel is up to local codes and regulations.

"I couldn’t be happier."
I have a plug-in hybrid and decided to install a 240 outlet for it. I called this morning, and Robert arrived at 2 to give me a free estimate. I knew about what it should cost, and his estimate was so good that I didn’t ask for the new customer discount. He installed it right below my panel, and I couldn’t be happier. I will recommend them to anyone needing an electrician. Thanks, Rober!
