Panel Upgrades — common questions
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs: a fuse box or 100A panel, frequent breaker trips, no room for new circuits, or plans to add an EV charger, heat pump, or ADU. We'll assess and give you a straight answer.
Will you handle the utility and the permit?
Yes — we coordinate the disconnect/reconnect with the utility and pull the permit and inspection, so it's handled start to finish.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential service upgrades are completed in a day, with a planned power interruption while we make the swap.
