Electrical Panel Upgrades

Capacity, planned properly.

Your panel distributes every watt in the building. When it's undersized, aging or unreliable, everything downstream feels it. We start with an assessment of your current equipment and the loads you plan to add, then recommend whether an upgrade, a subpanel or no change at all makes sense.

Signs it's time

  • —Breakers that trip when several appliances run together
  • —Planning an EV charger, heat pump, induction range or addition
  • —Older or discontinued panel equipment
  • —Warm panel covers, buzzing or scorch marks
  • —Running out of breaker spaces

Why it matters

Electrification is changing what homes ask of their service. A properly sized, well-organized panel is the foundation for heat pumps, induction, EV charging and future additions — and for peace of mind.

What affects scope & cost

  • Existing service size and meter location
  • Planned new loads
  • Permit and utility requirements
  • Wall condition and access around the panel
