Panel Upgrades & Service Changes — quick questions
- How do I know I need a panel upgrade?
- Common signs are breakers that trip, a panel that is full, flickering lights, or new equipment that needs more power than the old service can deliver. We do load calculations to confirm.
- Do you pull the permit and coordinate with the utility?
- Yes. We pull the electrical permit and coordinate with the utility for the service change; you do not have to manage that yourself.
- How long does a panel change take?
- Most residential panel changes are done in a day, with the power off for a few hours. We schedule it so the disruption is short.
- Do you replace recalled or unsafe panels?
- Yes. We remove panels with known safety issues and install a new panel sized to your current and planned loads.
