Repair the panel or upgrade it?

An honest rule of thumb. We’ll inspect and explain your options.

Usually a repair

  • One faulty breaker
  • A loose connection
  • Panel is in good condition
  • You have enough capacity

Usually an upgrade

  • Frequent tripping across circuits
  • Fuse box or very old panel
  • Adding EV charger, AC or remodel
  • No room for new circuits
Panel upgrades require a permit and inspection. We pull the permit and coordinate with the inspector and your utility.

Panel upgrade questions we hear every day

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?

Frequent tripping, dimming lights, an old fuse box, no open slots, or plans for an EV charger, heat pump or remodel are the most common reasons.

Do panel upgrades need a permit?

Yes. Panel and service upgrades require an electrical permit and inspection. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection for you.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

A typical panel replacement is usually completed in a day. Service upgrades may take longer because they require coordination with your utility.

Will my power be off during the upgrade?

Yes, for part of the day while the panel is swapped. We’ll tell you what to expect and keep the outage as short as possible.

What is an electrical safety inspection?

A review of your panel, wiring, outlets, grounding and protection devices to find hazards and code issues, with a clear written summary.

Can you install an EV charger circuit?

Yes. We assess your panel capacity and install a dedicated circuit for your EV charger.
