High-value upgrade

Your panel is the heart of the house. Treat it that way.

EVs, induction ranges, hot tubs, ADUs — modern life asks more of a panel than 1975 ever did. We assess honestly, upgrade cleanly, and leave you room to grow.

Warning signs

When a panel is telling you it’s done

  • Breakers trip whenever two big appliances run together
  • Fuse box, Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or split-bus panel still in service
  • No open slots left — but the project list keeps growing
  • Buzzing, heat, rust, or scorch marks at the panel
  • Lights dim when the AC, dryer, or microwave kicks on
  • You’re adding an EV charger, ADU, induction range, or hot tub
Certain legacy panels are documented fire risks and can complicate insurance. If you have one, it’s worth a conversation even if nothing feels wrong yet.
What you get

A panel upgrade, done properly

Honest load calculation

We size for how you actually live — and what you’re planning next — not a guess.

Permits & utility coordination

Paperwork, inspection, and power-company scheduling handled end to end.

Clean, labeled result

Every breaker labeled accurately. Future-you (and the next electrician) will thank us.

New circuits routed right

Dedicated circuits for the loads that deserve them — kitchens, shops, chargers.

Whole-home surge protection

Cheap insurance for every board and appliance in the house — offered, never pushed.

Minimal downtime

Planned cutover with a clear "power off" window agreed in advance.

Good to know

Panel questions, answered straight

Do I really need 200A?

Not always — and we’ll say so. Some homes just need circuits balanced or a subpanel. The load calculation decides, not the sales pitch.

How long does an upgrade take?

Most residential panel swaps are a single planned day of work, plus permit and inspection scheduling around it. You’ll get the realistic timeline up front.

Will my power be off all day?

There’s a planned outage window during cutover — we agree it in advance so fridges, freezers, and work-from-home days are accounted for.

Can you add a circuit without a full upgrade?

Often yes. If the panel has capacity and headroom, a new dedicated circuit is a much smaller job. That’s exactly what the assessment tells us.
