Signs you may need a panel upgrade

Frequently tripping breakers, no open slots, flickering lights, buzzing or warm panels, fuse boxes, or planned additions like an EV charger or central air.

Planning for new loads

We calculate your existing and planned loads so the new panel fits what you'll add, not just what you have today.

Permits and inspections

Panel and service work typically needs a permit and inspection. We coordinate the required steps once the scope is approved.
