Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacement
Upgrade your outdated electrical panel for safety, capacity, and modern appliance loads. We replace fuse boxes and old breaker panels with code-compliant 200A+ service.
Overview
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system. If your panel is outdated, corroded, or too small for today's appliance loads, it's a safety hazard and a bottleneck. We upgrade panels to modern 200-amp and higher service with permits and inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, a panel older than 25 years, fuses instead of breakers, double-tapped breakers, or not enough space for new circuits like an EV charger.

Most panel replacements are completed in a single day, though service upgrades involving the meter can take longer.
