Panel Upgrades & Service Changes
Modernize your electrical panel for improved safety, capacity, and code compliance.
Why You Might Need This Service
Older electrical panels often can't handle the power demands of modern homes and businesses. Frequent circuit breaker trips, outdated fuse boxes, insufficient amperage for new appliances or equipment, or non-compliant panels are all signs you may need an upgrade. Panel upgrades and service changes not only improve safety and functionality but are often required for adding major appliances, home additions, or passing home inspections.
